We ensure that the structure to be constructed should serve the basic purpose for which it is to be used and that it can withstand all applied loads for the duration of its intended existence.
This means that the structure must be capable of giving protection to the occupants from the weather, natural hazards like flood, earthquake, storm, cyclones, noise, animals etc.
The design of structure is done in such a way that it gives a pleasant look and environment inside as well as outside.
