Mr. Rashid Ahmed, a senior finance executive in Doha, Qatar, had been planning his retirement home in his hometown of Calicut for years. But like many NRIs, he was paralyzed by fear—fear of the "Ghost House" syndrome where beautiful homes sit abandoned due to construction issues, fear of contractors cutting corners with sub-standard materials, and fear of the coordination nightmare between multiple vendors.
He had heard horror stories from friends—electricians blaming masons for conduit placement failures, CCTV vendors unable to run cables because walls were already plastered, and worst of all, electrical failures during monsoons because the "waterproofing guy" and the "electrical guy" never talked to each other.
Mr. Ahmed needed more than a builder. He needed a partner who understood both the structural and technical dimensions of a modern smart home—and who could keep him informed every step of the way from thousands of kilometers away.
Mr. Ahmed faced a perfect storm of NRI construction anxieties that were preventing him from moving forward with his dream project:
We provided a comprehensive "Smart Build" contract that addressed every concern through our integrated approach:
This project showcased exactly why having one team handle both the "bricks" and the "wires" delivers superior results—especially for NRI clients who can't be on-site.
Electrical and network layouts were designed alongside structural plans—not after. Every conduit path was optimized, and no cables needed to be surface-mounted.
Our civil team built damp-proof channels and proper waterproofing specifically around electrical pathways—something fragmented vendors never coordinate.
CCTV system installed early in construction allowed Mr. Ahmed to check his site live from Qatar. The same team that built the house maintained the cameras.
3-phase power distribution designed from foundation stage, with dedicated circuits for AC, kitchen, and future EV charger—no panel upgrades needed later.
CAT6A structured cabling and fiber backbone installed during wall construction. Ready for home automation upgrades without breaking walls.
One Project Manager coordinated all trades. No blame-shifting between contractors. Any issue was our issue to solve.
"I inspected my construction site every day—from my office in Doha. The weekly video updates, the live CCTV access, the transparent documentation—Bricks & Wires made me feel like I was right there. And when I finally walked into my completed home, there were zero surprises. Everything was exactly as promised. I've already recommended them to three colleagues planning projects in Kerala."
Completed in 14 months as promised, despite two monsoon seasons during construction.
No snag list at handover. All systems tested and certified before client arrival.
Zero electrical issues during 2024 monsoon. Damp-proof channels proved their worth.
Client referred three colleagues for their Kerala construction projects.
Whether you're an NRI building from abroad or a local client seeking integrated solutions, we're ready to bring your vision to life.
