Buildings & Housing Department
Up until the late 1970s, all activities of the state of Sikkim that pertained to engineering were being handled by the nodal Sikkim Public Works Department of the Government of Sikkim. However, there came a time when there was an urgent need for restructuring and as a result of this, in the year 1977, the Buildings & Housing Department was born.

In addition, the Buildings and Housing Department is also responsible for allotment of Government Quarters, rent assessment, valuation of buildings, preparation of Specifications and Schedule of Rates for building works and appointment of consultants for building design and construction.
