Construction of a structure has always been held to be a feat of human achievement, a manifestation of love or dedication, a declaration of victory, or some other elevated feeling. Whether it is the Taj Mahal (where legend has it that Shah Jehan, the monarch ordering its creation, cut off the tongue of the builder so that he could never tell anyone how to create another Taj), or the Giza pyramids, many perished to see the dreams of monarchs blossom. Fortunately today, although great architectural wonders continue to being built, public utility is the main inspiring cause. Today, thousands of buildings and structures are being built to fulfill different needs. Any big construction is a wonder of science, a feat of multi-tasking. In the building of one structure, a promoter, a developer, a construction manager, a project manager, an architect or designer, an engineer, and a vast array of workers – from electricians, to metal workers, from plumbers to mason workers – come together.

Today, land has become a scarce commodity: hence the premium on buildings and constructions. As the demands keep on increasing, new areas have to be developed or old areas remodeled and redeveloped. The requirements of infrastructure development, the demands for markets, shopping malls, roads and tracts, airports and harbors, schools and offices are insatiable, and this has given a tremendous boost to the building business. New laws and regulations have been drafted to regularize the process and provide standardized guidelines for construction. This ensures development without compromising on safety or with environment.
