WHITESIGN NIRMAN LLP

Our main place is over in Village Mohammadpur, which is out near the New Town area of South 24 Parganas. The address is C/o Lal Mohammad Molla, and it is a bit of a trek if you are coming from the center of Kolkata. Being out in the New Town area means we see a lot of change happening all around us. One day it is a vacant lot, and the next day there is a new building going up. Our office is more like a hub where we meet to discuss the current projects before heading out to the sites. It is a bit dusty because of all the construction nearby, and we are constantly cleaning the windows. We handle a lot of the ground-level work for new buildings, which means we spend more time in the mud than in the office. The team is made up of people from the local area who know the land well. We don't have fancy coffee machines; we just make a big pot of tea and get to work. The paperwork is always a struggle, especially with all the different permits needed for this part of West Bengal. We try to stay on top of it, but sometimes the files just pile up on the corner desk. It is a straightforward business where we focus on getting the structures built and the workers paid on time. It is not glamorous, but we are proud of the work we do every day.
