G. R. D. CONSTRUCTION COMPANY (INDIA)

We operate G. R. D. CONSTRUCTION COMPANY (INDIA) from a first-floor office in Vishnupuri. The house number is 3/192. It is right near Ashirwad Clinic, so if you see people waiting for the doctor, you are in the right place. Kanpur is a tough place for construction because of the weather and the narrow roads, but we manage. Our office isn't anything special to look at. It has some old desks, a few chairs for visitors, and stacks of site reports. We spend more time out at the construction sites than we do sitting here anyway. There is always sand or cement dust on someone's boots. We handle the paperwork and the planning from this Vishnupuri spot. It’s a local neighborhood, so we know the people living around here. Sometimes the clinic next door gets very crowded and it’s hard to find parking on the street. We don't use big words or try to act like we are a huge multi-national. We are just a local construction team trying to get walls up and roofs finished. My phone is usually ringing with calls from suppliers about brick prices or truck deliveries. We eat our lunch while looking over site photos. It’s a lot of hard work and not very glamorous, but it’s what we do. The office stays open late most days because there is always one more thing to check before we go home and we just get on with the job.
