    Where to start? Deliberately an open ended question

    Which group of aboriginals are the original owners of the land you are

    building on? What language group do they belong to? Are you constructing in an area of cultural significance?

    Where are you sourcing your construction materials, vessels,compressors etc from? Does the company manufacture their products safely? Do they use child labour?

    Where are you sourcing feedstock/catalyst from? Does the company manufacture their products safely? Does the manufacturer endanger

    employees health?

    Who will make up your work force? Construction team?

    Marking

    Needs to be addressed in: Ch1- Scope and problem definition:Addressing

    sustainability/humanitarian engineering should be something that isaddressed from the onset of the design and not as an add-on lateron.

    Ch 11-Economics:work generation and impact in local community

    Ch 12-Sustainability and feasibility
