S M Bricks

S M Bricks is located at 639 in Tirukazhukundra, and we’ve been part of this community for quite some time. It’s a simple operation really. We spend most of our hours outside, managing the kiln and making sure the bricks are drying properly before they get moved. The heat can be a bit much during the peak of summer, but we’re used to it by now. We don’t spend much time in an office; most of the business happens right there on the dirt lot where the bricks are stacked up. People from around Tirukazhukundra know us by name, and they usually just drive in when they need a few thousand bricks for a new house or a wall. We don’t do a lot of talking, just load the trucks and get back to the next batch. It’s a messy job with all the mud and dust, but there is something satisfying about seeing a fresh stack of bricks ready to go out. My family has been doing this kind of work for a while, and I just took over running things a few years back. We aren't looking to expand into some big city company. We like it here, where we know the roads and the people. If the rain holds off, we can get a lot done in a week. If not, we just wait it out and start again once it clears. It’s steady work and it keeps the food on the table for our workers and their families.
