Journal Title: Engineering and Technology Journal - Year 2021, Vol 6, Issue 5
Abstract
Construction is one of the oldest and major industries in the world that makes substantial contribution to the national economy and provides employment to a great number of individuals. In the early part of year 2020, COVID-19 pandemic arises that has turned into a worldwide catastrophe, evolving at high speed and scale.
