Bagade Baba Construction

If you’re looking for us, we’re out in Hadapsar at S No 176. It’s a dusty spot, mostly because of all the cement and sand we have coming in and out all day. Bagade Baba Construction isn't some glass-tower office. It’s where we keep the tools and talk about blueprints. We spend most of our time on site anyway. Building things is hard work and it takes a lot of patience. We deal with bricks, mortar, and the heat. Sometimes the weather doesn't cooperate and everything gets delayed, which is frustrating but that's just how construction goes. We’ve been doing this for a bit now. My cousin helps with the books and I handle the guys on the ground. We don't use big words to explain what we do. We just build walls and fix roofs. The neighborhood is changing fast and we’re part of that, I guess. We see a lot of new houses going up around here. It feels good to see a finished project after weeks of digging in the dirt. We take lunch breaks together under whatever shade we can find. It’s not glamorous. Your boots get dirty. But at the end of the day, you can see what you made with your hands. That’s why we stay in this business. It is a long day usually but we like it. We have been here since the start.
