Ahuja Building Material Store

We have been running this building material store at E 182 in the Srinagar Colony area of Karawal Nagar Extension for a long time. It’s a dusty business, there is no way around that. If you come by Ahuja Building Material Store, you’ll see stacks of bricks and bags of cement piled up. We handle a lot of the heavy stuff people need when they are fixing up their houses or building something new. We have sand, gravel, and all the basics. The trucks come in early in the morning to drop off supplies, and then we spend the day loading up smaller tempos or rickshaws for local deliveries. It is hard work, mostly lifting and moving things under the sun. My clothes usually have white dust on them by noon. The office is just a small desk with a lot of papers and a phone that rings quite a bit with people asking about prices or delivery times. Karawal Nagar is always growing, so there is always someone needing a load of bricks or some steel rods. We don't have a fancy showroom, just a yard full of materials and a gate that stays open. It is a practical business for a working neighborhood. We know most of the contractors around here. We just try to get the orders right and move the stock out as fast as it comes in.
