Sri Ram Construction

If you are looking for us in Thuraiyur, we are right near the Devi Gas Agencies. It is a pretty easy spot to find. Being in this part of Tamil Nadu means we are used to the sun beating down on the work sites. We spend our days mostly outdoors, checking on the foundations and seeing how the plastering is coming along. Construction is a lot of waiting for the right moment, like waiting for the concrete to set or for the rain to stop so we can get back to the bricks. We don’t have a fancy office with glass walls. It’s more of a practical space where we keep the site diaries and some basic tools. Sometimes the labor doesn't show up on time and we have to scramble, but that’s just how it goes in this line of work. We work with a lot of local families who want to build a small shop or a house. There’s no big corporate talk here. We just discuss what kind of stone is best or how much sand we need to order for the next week. It’s a bit noisy around the office because of the traffic and the gas agency next door, but we are used to it by now. We try to keep things simple and get the walls up as straight as we can. It’s hard work, and our hands are usually rough from the cement, but it’s what we do. We’ve been here for years and we know the local ground conditions better than anyone else.
