Let's hear
from our
customers

We needed to upgrade 150 Industrial Training Institutes covering 11 lakh sq. ft. across 31 districts in Karnataka. We thought of Tata Steel Nest-In as the partner because it is known for quality, timely construction, and extensive network in the market. We wanted sustainable technology adopted in the civil structures. The advantage of prefab is that it is quickly done and provides quality infrastructure. The management team was very cooperative and cordial with us. It is a remarkable achievement that they could build in all the remote areas of the State within 6 months, despite the monsoon and rough weather conditions. The team also followed all COVID norms, as the construction took place during the second lockdown. We had a happy journey with Tata Steel Nest-In.

We required an accommodation facility for one of our colonies in Lakwa. Nest-In provides LGSF construction, whose main advantage is that it is constructed in a short period of time compared to conventional construction. The Nest-In team provided excellent service and support during the construction, with regular coordination with our team. We are really satisfied with the service, which was smoother than we expected because the construction took place during the rainy period. Despite that, the project was completed within 8 months.
