“…Therefore, the research must have strong roots in theoretical understanding within and beyond management and organization studies [2]. The unethical professional practices effects on Nigerian construction projects were high construction and maintenance costs and poor aesthetic value, which are major impacts besides economic depreciation, project abandonment, and environmental deterioration [35]. Locatelli et al [36] investigate the corrupt context`s impact on public megaprojects (Italian high-speed railways) with two questions: Which project characteristics favor corruption?…”

This study presents the dark side of "unethical practices" in construction projects in Egypt, which impact the construction industry's development. It also identifies the project parties' unethical practices in funded projects and the Technical Audit's role in fighting them. A mixed methodology was used for collecting and analyzing quantitative and qualitative data. The study results indicated the owner's and bidder's unethical practices were Disclaim liability for nominated subcontractor mistakes and submitting an unbalanced bid, respectively. Also, the procedure militating against the practices was adopting and applying the technical audit concept to governmental projects. Separate analyses revealed differing viewpoints among consultants, owners, and contractors. The study contributes to the creation of honest competition to develop the construction industry, reducing public money losses, and evaluating competitors on a stable and sound basis. Also, building awareness and sensitizing our community to the construction project's dark side is necessary for getting a legally sustainable solution in future tender law formulation.
