The problems we solve in construction materials
The floor does not match
Tiles from two batches look alike in the box. Once they are laid and grouted, the change in shade shows. By then it is too late.
We store your tiles by batch and shade and fill each order from one batch. We keep the batch on record, so a repeat order can match.
It broke on the way and nobody pays
Some breakage is taken as normal in this trade. A claim above it needs proof of when the damage happened. So the dealer, the brand and the transporter each blame the other.
We photograph every load as it leaves and again when it arrives. You know where each break happened, and your claim has its proof.
Dealers wait weeks for a truck
Your plant sits in one belt and your dealers are spread across India. A shared truck takes weeks to fill. Meanwhile the dealer sells another brand.
We keep your stock in a warehouse in each state you sell in. Full trucks come in from your plant, and part loads go out to your dealers.
Goods stored like cartons
Plywood warps in damp air. Pipes and profiles bend without support. Water caught between glass sheets leaves stains.
Plywood lies flat on supports, off the floor. Pipes and profiles rest on racks along their length. Glass stands upright on frames in a dry bay.
More stock than space
Orders from sites slow down, but your plant keeps making. Stock piles up in your depot until there is no room left.
We add space when stock piles up. When orders pick up again, we hand it back. You pay only for the space you use.
The site has no room and stock goes missing
A building site has little space for finishes, and a road or pipeline site stretches a long way. Boxes get buried, damp or broken, and some walk off.
Your project's stock stays in our warehouse, set aside for that project. The site calls for what it needs next, and we record what went where.
The site slips and surplus is stranded
Handover dates move, and crews go home for the festivals. At the end, unused material is left on site and lost.
We hold your stock until work starts again. At the end we bring the surplus back, count it and send it where you choose.
Batch and shade control for every order
A floor only looks right when every tile comes from the same batch. Here is how we keep it that way.

Warehouses near the making belts and the big building markets
-
Made in a few belts
Tiles, stone, plywood, glass and fittings come from a few belts in the west, north and south. So your stock has a long way to go to reach your dealers.
-
Held in every region
We hold stock in the metros and most large cities, so it waits in the state where it sells.
-
Sent to dealers and sites
Part loads go to your dealers, and full loads to the building sites around each city.
See every batch and every load on one screen
Stock by batch in each warehouse, every dealer order, imports at the port and each floor's load at the site gate. The papers and photos sit with each one.
The rules that shape how construction materials move
The ISI mark on covered goods
Plywood, boards, glass, gypsum board, cement, steel, iron pipes, aluminium sections and door hardware need the ISI mark to be sold in India.
No storing unmarked stock
Keeping covered goods without the mark breaks the law too, not only selling them.
A BIS licence for imports
Imported plywood, boards and glass must come from a factory that holds a BIS licence.
Stock in a free trade zone
Goods in a free trade warehousing zone sit outside these rules. They must meet them before they are sold in India.
A test certificate with steel
Each load of steel travels with the maker's test certificate.
Trucks weighed at the toll
Toll plazas now weigh trucks. An overloaded truck pays more, and the overload goes on its national record.
E-way bills for big loads
Every load above the value limit needs an e-way bill. Oversized loads get far less time on it.
A licence for marble blocks
Rough marble blocks need an import licence. Polished slabs must clear a minimum price.
