Hindustan Construction Company Ltd.

Vellore can be a really hot place, especially when you are working out of Phase II in Sathuvachari. Our office for Hindustan Construction Company Ltd is at number 542, and it is a pretty basic setup. We aren't located in some big glass building; it is more like a house that was turned into a workspace. It makes things feel a bit more relaxed than those big offices in the city. There is always a stack of blueprints sitting on the corner table and a layer of dust that seems to come back no matter how often we clean. Most of our days are spent coordinating with people out in the field. We have a lot of phone calls with suppliers and subcontractors, and sometimes things get a bit heated when a delivery is late. We don't use any fancy management talk here; we just say what needs to be said and get back to work. The windows look out onto the street and we see the local kids playing or people heading to the market. It is a very normal, local way to run a construction business. We have a small pantry where we keep our lunch boxes and there is always someone complaining about the heat. We don't really have a grand vision we talk about, we just focus on getting the current job done so we can move on to the next one. It is just honest work.
