Shivam Building Materials

We are set up out on Hanumangarh Road, right near the petrol pump in Ellenabad. Being in the Sirsa district, we get a lot of people coming in from the nearby farms and the town area too. Selling building materials is heavy work. There is always dust on the floor and stacks of stuff waiting to be loaded onto trailers. We started Shivam Building Materials because people needed a place close to the road where they could get what they needed without a lot of fuss. It isn't a showroom with bright lights. It’s a yard and a small office where we keep the books. Sometimes the weather makes it hard to move things around, especially when it rains and the ground gets soft. We just deal with it. My brother and I, along with a couple of helpers, run the place. We know most of our customers by their first names. They come in, tell us what they’re building, and we see what we have in the back. If we don’t have it, we try to get it, but we don't make promises we can't keep. It's honest work. The noise from the trucks on Hanumangarh Road is constant, but you stop hearing it after a while. We’re just local people helping other local people build their houses or fix their sheds. Nothing more complicated than that. We stay open late sometimes if a customer is running behind and needs something for the next morning's work.
