I remember the first time I realized our industry was broken.

I was working on a drafting project, finalizing the drawings for a residential villa in Kottayam,Kerala. The client asked a simple question: "Solvin, how much will the solid blocks cost for the ground floor?"

I did what every Civil Engineer and Draftsman in India does. I checked an old Excel sheet from a previous project. I called a friend. The answer I gave was ₹42 per block.

Two weeks later, the actual bill came. The price was ₹47.50. The client was furious. The contractor was frustrated. And I looked like I didn't know my job.

But it wasn't my fault. It was the system's fault.

The "Data Vacuum" in Indian Construction We are building spaceships to Mars, but in Kerala, we still estimate million-rupee projects using "Thumb Rules" and "Gossip."

• Why do we rely on PDF price lists that are 6 months old?

• Why does a specific district like Kottayam have no digital record of its own material rates?

• Why do we accept "Cost Overruns" as normal?

I realized that Software wasn't the problem. Data was the problem. We have enough tools to draw buildings (AutoCAD, Revit). We have zero tools to price them accurately in real-time.

Enter Griham: Civil Tech for the Real World I decided to stop complaining and start building. Griham is not just an app. It is my answer to that angry client.

It is a "Construction Intelligence Engine" built specifically for the volatility of the Kerala as well as the indian market.

• We don't guess. We track.

• We don't use "National Averages." We use Hyper-Local Data.

• We are replacing the "Old Excel Sheet" with a Live Dashboard.

My Mission as a Civil Tech Entrepreneur I am a civil Engineer first, a Founder second. My goal isn't to build a billion-dollar company. My goal is to make sure that the next time a Draftsman in Kerala is asked "How much will this cost?", they can give an answer that is 100% true.

The Indian construction industry is ready for its "Digital Moment." And it starts right here in Kochi.

Join me on this journey. We are launching in March 2026. Let’s build with truth.Join the Waitlist
