The Department of Building Construction is a state department under Government of Jharkhand responsible for planning, designing, constructing, renovating and maintaining government buildings across Jharkhand, including residential and non-residential offices.^{[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]}

Prior to 1982, the functions of Building Construction, Road Construction and Rural Engineering were carried out under the Public Works Department (PWD). Following a Cabinet Secretariat memorandum on 16 March 1982, they were reorganized into independent departments, which now manage infrastructure in their respective domains.^[2]
