TAMEER DESIGN & BUILDERS PRIVATE LIMITED

If you go to Khayam Chowk in Srinagar, you’ll find us on the second floor of Munwar Plaza, specifically in Lane No.7. Tameer Design & Builders is our small firm. Srinagar is a fast-moving place, and being right there near the chowk means there is never a quiet moment. We do a mix of designing and the actual building part too. It’s better that way because we can see the drawing become a real thing. Sometimes the designs are simple, and other times people want something a bit more complicated, which usually means more headaches for us on the site. The stairs up to our office are a bit steep, but once you’re up there, it’s a good place to look at sketches and drink some kehwa. We don’t use any of those fancy corporate slogans. We just tell people what we can do and how much it’ll cost. The traffic in Srinagar can make it a nightmare to get our trucks to the sites on time, so we spend a lot of time on our phones coordinating things. Our team is small, just local guys who know how to handle the local stone and wood. We’ve had some long days where the sun goes down and we’re still out there with flashlights. It’s not a glamorous life, but seeing a finished building makes it okay. We focus on the wood work and the masonry that really matters in our climate.
