During the initial times
the buildings were constructed using locally available materials like coral
stones, surkhi, coconut timber etc.
Most of the
buildings before 1980s were single storied load bearing wall
constructions roofed using timber trusses covered with M.P. tiles/AC
Sheets.
The present Port Office
building is the first double storied building. This has been constructed
in 1982.
The construction in
these tiny islands is limited to second floor.
The LPWD is constructing
both residential and non-residential buildings.
