TEHRI ARCHITECTURE & CONSTRUCTION PRIVATE LIMITED

Our setup is up in Badshai Thol, over in Tehri Garhwal. It’s a beautiful area, though the hills make construction a lot harder than it looks on paper. Being at Devi Prasad’s place gives us a good vantage point. TEHRI ARCHITECTURE & CONSTRUCTION PRIVATE LIMITED is basically a few of us who understand how to build on these slopes. You can’t just throw up a building here; you have to respect the land and the weather. We spend a lot of time worrying about drainage and making sure the foundations won't slide. It’s a lot of manual labor, and getting heavy equipment up some of these narrow roads is a nightmare. There have been times when we had to carry supplies by hand because the trucks couldn't make the turn. We aren't some city firm with polished shoes. We are usually covered in some kind of dirt or stone dust. The pace of life here is slower, but the work is tough. We do the drawings and then we go out and help the masons. It’s a hands-on kind of business. Sometimes the winter makes it impossible to work, so we have to plan our year very carefully. We’re just locals trying to make sure the homes and shops in this part of Tehri are built right. It’s not always perfect, but it’s our life and we’re used to the struggle. We just keep moving and making progress.
