Arfa Marble

Arfa Marble is located at Plot No.2-56/2 on Svtc Road. It's a fairly open area, which is good because we need the space for the marble blocks. The road out front gets a lot of heavy traffic, especially big lorries, so it can be a bit tricky getting in and out sometimes. Our setup is pretty basic. We have the main yard where the stone is kept and a small shed where we keep our tools and some of the finished pieces. It’s not the cleanest place, as there is always a layer of stone dust on everything, but that’s just the nature of the business. We are a small team and most of us have been working with marble for years. We don't really have a boss who sits in an office; everyone is out in the yard helping out. The work is physical and can be tiring, but we have a good rhythm going. We usually take a long break in the middle of the day when the heat is at its worst. There isn't any fancy marketing going on here. We just have our name on a board outside and that’s about it. Most of our days are spent checking the quality of the slabs and loading them onto trucks. It’s a straightforward way to make a living, and we don't try to make it sound like anything else. We just show up, do the lifting, and go home to our families.
