Bhoomi Engineers & Consultants

Our office is right here in House No. 1/1967 in Ram Nagar. If you know where the Durga Mandir is in Shahdara, you can basically see our front door from there. It gets quite loud during the evening prayers and festivals, but we don't mind the noise much anymore. We do engineering and consulting, mostly helping local folks figure out their building plans or fixing technical hiccups that pop up during construction. It’s just a few of us sitting around old desks covered in blueprints and tea cups. Sometimes the neighbors come by just to chat while we’re in the middle of a difficult calculation. My desk is always a mess with pens that don't work and scrap paper. We spend a lot of time on the phone or out at different sites checking how things are actually being built. It’s better than just sitting in front of a computer screen all day long. We’ve been in this spot for a long time now, and the building has seen better days, but it’s home for the business. Sometimes the electricity goes out in the afternoon and we just take a break until it comes back. Engineering sounds fancy to some people, but mostly it’s just solving one small problem after another until the whole thing stands up straight. We don't have a big neon sign outside, just a small painted one near the gate. Most people find us by word of mouth anyway. It’s a quiet way to make a living, and it works for us. We've seen the area change.
