Site Engineer

M. Sivaramakrishnan is the main person here at No. 45 Kavarai Street. We are located right above the Canara Bank in Thirukkalukundram. It is a busy spot in the Kanchipuram district, and being upstairs means we get a bit of a breeze, which is nice in the Tamilnadu heat. The office is packed with calculators, notebooks, and pens that are always running out of ink. We don't have any polished marketing material or a secretary to answer the phones. Usually, one of us just picks up while looking at a blueprint. It is a very hands-on kind of business. We spend most of our time out in the field, so if you come by during the day, the door might be locked. We work with what we have and don't try to act like we are some huge company from Chennai. The stairs up to the office are a bit steep, and the walls could probably use a new coat of paint, but it works for us. We focus on getting the site measurements right and making sure the construction is moving along. There is a lot of tea drinking and talking with the local builders to keep things moving. It is a regular job with regular challenges. We don't make any grand promises, we just show up and do the engineering work as best as we can. It’s a local operation through and through. We know the streets around here and the people who live in them.
