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.<ref name=":0" />

==Ministerial team==
The Department is headed by the Cabinet Minister of Building Construction, [[Government of Jharkhand]]. [[Indian Administrative Service|Civil servants]] such as the Secretary are appointed to support the minister in managing the department and implementing its functions.
