Mihir N Patel Consulting Engineer

Mihir N Patel Consulting Engineer operates out of J 202 in the Abhishek Apartments. Nawa Wadaj is a busy part of Ahmedabad, and being in an apartment complex means I see a lot of the same faces every morning when I go to get tea. My workspace is basically just one room filled with blueprints, a big old desk, and a computer that hums a bit too loudly when it gets hot in the summer. Being a consulting engineer involves a lot of looking at drawings and checking figures, which takes up most of my time. The apartment is quiet enough for that kind of work, though you can hear the kids playing outside in the courtyard during the evenings. I have lived and worked in this area for a long time, so I know the local building styles pretty well. Sometimes clients come over to discuss their plans, and we sit around the small table with some water. It is not a big corporate office with a receptionist; it is just me and my tools. I spend a lot of time on the phone or out at sites, but J 202 is where all the actual thinking and planning happens. The traffic on the main road can be a headache, but once you are inside the gates of Abhishek, it feels a bit more relaxed. I just try to do my job right and keep things moving along.
