B.M. Engineering & Construction

Our business, B.M. Engineering & Construction, is based in the Baisali Co-Operative Housing Society. We are located at Rajbagan, on K.N. Roy Lane in Krishnagar. Nadia is a nice district, but it can be quite a task to get all the equipment around the narrow roads sometimes. Being in a housing society means we have to be mindful of our neighbors, so we don't keep the heavy machinery running too late into the evening. Our office is basically a room filled with site maps, hard hats, and a lot of muddy boots by the door. Construction is a messy business, and our workspace reflects that. We spend half our time out at different sites and the other half here trying to make sense of the schedules and the payroll. The tea stall down the lane is where we usually end up for our breaks. It’s not a high-end corporate environment. It’s just a place where we try to build things that won't fall down. Sometimes the paperwork gets overwhelming, or a supplier forgets a delivery, and we have to scramble to fix it. But that is just how it goes in this line of work. We’ve been operating in West Bengal for a good while, and we know the local terrain pretty well. It’s just us, a few tools, and a lot of concrete and bricks. We keep busy and that is enough for us most days.
