Rashmi Construction Company

Our office is tucked away in 108, Block 8 of the CPWD Quarters in HSR Layout, which is a pretty busy part of Bangalore these days. It’s a bit of a maze trying to find the right sector sometimes with all the one-way streets and the traffic piling up near the main junctions. We spend most of our mornings looking at drawings and then the rest of the day is spent stuck in traffic moving between different sites across the city. Being in a residential area like this means it’s relatively quiet around the office compared to the main roads. We’ve been working on various building projects for a while now. It’s mostly just making sure the contractors are doing what they’re supposed to and that the materials actually show up on time, which is rarer than you’d think. The guys in the office are local, so we know where to get the best coffee around the corner. We aren't trying to be the biggest company in Karnataka, just trying to do a decent job so the buildings don't fall down. Some days are just filled with paperwork and phone calls to suppliers who are running late. It’s the usual grind of the construction life in a big city. We keep the files in some old metal cabinets and there's usually a stack of bricks or some wood samples lying around the entrance for people to see.
