S A Patil Architect Engineers

I’m S.A. Patil and I’ve been working as an architect and engineer for quite a long time. My office is located on Mahatma Gandhi Road, right on Sukhadia Street. It’s an old part of town and I like being here. The building we are in has some character, even if the stairs are a bit steep and narrow. I handle both the architectural design and the engineering side of things, which keeps me very busy most days. Most of my time is spent checking calculations or drawing up structural plans for local projects. I have a few old drafting stools that are surprisingly comfortable despite their age. The street outside is usually busy, so there’s a lot of life going on right outside the door. People often drop in to get their building plans approved or to ask for advice on a crack in their wall. I try to be helpful to everyone who walks through the door, even if it's just a small question. I don't use a lot of fancy software for everything; I still like to do some things by hand with a pencil and a ruler. It feels more real that way. My desk is usually covered in site reports and coffee mugs. I don’t have a fancy website or any marketing. I just rely on people knowing my work over the years. It’s a simple operation where we focus on getting the structures right and making sure everything is safe.
