The company emphasizes safety, mobility, and efficiency, claiming to complete projects 30-50% faster than traditional construction methods. Their portfolio includes container-based offices, retail malls, healthcare facilities, hostels, schools, remote camps, lodges, and residential homes, showcasing versatility in sectors like retail, healthcare, education, tourism, and logistics.
