Aecl-India

Aecl-India is over here in Nagarabhavi II Stage, right on 13th Main. It's a quiet enough area most of the time, which is good for when we need to focus on complicated drawings. We've been at 866 Vinayaka HBCS for a while now. The office is basically just a few of us working on various building projects. We do a mix of things, from the structural side of things to the general layout of a place. It's not just about making things look good; the buildings have to actually stay standing up, after all. We spend a lot of time on our computers, but we also go out to the sites to make sure things are actually being built the way they were drawn. Sometimes the reality on the ground is a bit different from the paper, so we have to fix things on the fly. It can be stressful when a deadline is coming up or when the materials don't show up on time. We talk to a lot of different people, from site workers to homeowners who are nervous about their money. We don't have a big corporate setup here. It's more of a place where you can come in and talk about what you need without a lot of fuss or fancy presentations. Most of our day is just coffee, phone calls, and looking at blueprints. We've seen this part of the city change a lot recently. (247 words)
