S. L. V. Building Materials

S. L. V. Building Materials is located at No. 15 on the Third Cross near Seetha Circle. We handle the basic stuff that goes into making a house, so our place is full of things like sand, cement bags, and bricks. It’s a very functional site, not somewhere you’d go to see anything pretty. There’s almost always a pile of river sand near the entrance and stacks of red bricks that we have to count out by hand. We spend a lot of time on the phone with truck drivers, trying to figure out where the latest load of materials is. The area around Seetha Circle is always moving, and we have to be quick with loading the small tempos that come to pick up supplies. Our office is just a tiny room with a metal desk and a lot of dusty ledgers. We don't use any fancy software; we just write down what goes out and what comes in. It’s loud because of the constant shoveling and the sound of heavy engines idling. We usually have tea together in the morning before the first deliveries start. The work is simple but it’s hard on the body, especially when we have to move hundreds of cement bags in the heat. We’ve been at this Third Cross location for a while, and we’re just a regular part of the neighborhood, helping folks get their construction projects finished.
