Vadodara district, including Nandesari, Makarpura, Manjusar, Savli, Halol, Waghodia and Padra, and other parts of Gujarat such as Dahej.

EPC Services
Do you do the design as well?
We work from your consultant’s drawings and support them with site inputs. Tell us your setup and we’ll explain how we fit in.
Which industries do you work for?
Mainly chemical, pharmaceutical, industrial gas and process plants across Gujarat.
How do I know how the project is going?
You get a daily progress report with manpower, measured work and equipment on site.
What is an EPC contractor?
An EPC contractor takes responsibility for engineering, procurement and construction under one contract. Instead of managing several contractors, you deal with one team that is accountable for the whole project.
What is the difference between EPC and turnkey?
Both mean one contractor delivers the project ready to use. “Turnkey” stresses handing over a finished facility; “EPC” describes the scope: engineering, procurement and construction. In practice, we agree the exact scope with you in the quote.
Is EPC more expensive than hiring separate contractors?
The quote may look similar, but EPC removes the delays and gaps between trades, and delays are usually the biggest hidden cost. Try the cost-of-delay calculator on our homepage.
Do you take EPC projects for chemical plants in Gujarat?
Yes. Chemical plants are our main work, along with pharmaceutical and industrial gas plants across Gujarat.
Pre-construction & Planning
Is the planning visit free?
Yes. The first site visit and quote are free and there is no obligation.
Can you plan a project another contractor will build?
Talk to us about your situation. We usually plan the work we execute.
What do you need from us?
Any drawings you have, your target dates and access to the site.
What is pre-construction planning?
It is the work done before mobilisation: site study, scope and drawing review, work sequence, schedule, and material and manpower planning.
Why does pre-construction planning matter?
Most delays are decided before work starts: missing drawings, late material, or trades that wait on each other. Planning removes those causes in advance.
How long does pre-construction planning take?
It depends on the size of the project. We agree the timeline with you after the first site visit.
Do you charge for the first site visit?
No. The first site visit and quote are free, with no obligation.

Can we use our own approved vendors?
