Construction Industries As per the construction stages laws and acts produced by the government, the contractor or builder has to provide the housing facility with all the basic needed things within the site area. But there is not a single rule followed by the contractor and as the result, the workers have to stay in the informal housing facility near or into an under-construction building. As per the low, contractor has to give facility for a cook, sanitation, and safety for the children. By talking with L2, the contractors were not provided with any facility like electricity or water, they just make a partition with metal sheets, bamboos, and the rest of the facilities have done by the workers themselves. Workers have to invest the number of their wages to establish a living environment for the family. They have spent 20 percent of the wage amount on living expenses. So that they have to adopt a style that the male members have come first and they work after building 1st-floor slab they call the family members and stay with them in the under-construction buildings which have no safety majors. This has proved that male migrants were working on-site for a long time with heavy machines and called their families to help them afterward. As per the l4, there is no provision of water resources on the site. They have to walk and collect water at nighttime. The needs for basic materials for cooking were fulfilled the male member of the family and females were not allowed to go outside of the site boundary because of the language and other constraints.
