Iraq's Council of Ministers (Cabinet) has approved the recommendation from the Ministerial Council for Social Services (Resolution 24016 K) to form the Iraqi Construction Council.

Modern Techniques and Sustainability: Implement new technologies and modern methods in construction, ensuring sustainable development principles are applied. Standards and Codes: Develop and update Iraqi building codes and specifications, and enforce unified Arab codes in both the public and private sectors.
