The global contribution of the construction industry in GDP in the first quarter of 2018 alone is $2413.76 billion. The building sector is essential for global economic development, employment creation and the environment. The volume of contribution output is forecasted to grow by 85% (to $15.5 trillion) worldwide by 2030. One of the main obstacles for the growth in the building sector is the loss of lives due the building collapse during and after construction. National Crime Record Bureau of India has reported that an average of 7 people died per day because of building collapse between 2001 and 2015. Study of the various building failures reported that the violation of building codes and regulation is the primary cause. In many advanced countries, public safety is maintained by the accreditation of building department/council; which is responsible to monitor and enforce building codes and issuing of building permits. In India, the accreditation of building departments and other sectors relating to construction can reduce building failures and thereby strengthen economic growth by increasing the GDP.
