Shriram Construction And Boat Builders

Our place is right by the Jakat Naka in Sangliwadi, and mostly you’ll find us covered in sawdust or grease depending on the day's work. Shriram Construction And Boat Builders has been sitting here for a good while now. We spend our mornings checking on the wood for the boats and the rest of the time we are looking at blueprints for building projects. It gets pretty loud with the saws running, and the smell of the river is always nearby. Sometimes the traffic at the Naka is a real mess, but we just keep working through it. We aren't big on fancy offices or polished desks. Our tables are usually piled with tools and half-finished drawings. If you walk in, you might have to shout over the hammering. We do a bit of everything, from fixing up old hulls to getting foundations ready for new rooms. It is hard work, and our hands are rarely clean. Some days the sun is really beating down on the yard, making the metal hot to touch. We take breaks when we can, usually sitting on whatever timber is lying around. It is just us here, making sure things get built right so they don't fall apart or sink. People around Sangliwadi know where to find us. We don’t change much, just stick to the jobs we know how to do with what we have. It’s just how we run things.
