Billa Bricks Company

If you head down Street Number 4 in Harcharan Nagar, you’ll find us. It’s a residential-ish area but we’ve got our brick setup right there. Bricks are heavy and messy, so there is always red dust on our boots and the floor. We spend the day counting loads and talking to drivers who come in and out. The neighborhood is fairly quiet compared to the main roads, but we stay busy enough. There’s no fancy showroom here, just piles of bricks and a small spot to sit and write out receipts. My hands are usually a bit rough from handling the samples or helping move a few things. We’ve seen a lot of houses go up in Harcharan Nagar using the stuff from our yard. It’s a straightforward business. We don’t go in for big advertisements or anything like that. People just know us from being in the area for so long. Sometimes the weather makes things difficult, like when it rains and everything gets muddy, but we just manage it as it comes. It’s a lot of physical work and staying on top of the inventory. We have a few guys who help with the loading, and we all just get on with it. It’s a local operation, nothing more and nothing less. You see the same faces often, which is nice. We just try to keep enough stock so nobody has to wait too long.
