MP Birla Cement has launched a unique initiative, Construction Ka Second Innings, for Individual Home Builders. Digging deep into its resourceful network, comprising cement dealers, construction material suppliers, contractors and masons, it will help out Individual Home Builders (IHB), who had started building their dream home, but could not complete in view the lockdown. In the unlock phase, when they are trying to resume construction, the IHBs are being challenged by the lack of so many support facilities, chiefly masons, contractors, steady supply of cement and other construction materials. There are health & hygiene challenges too as the COVID-19 menace is still there. It is also a golden chance for individuals, who plan to start building a house but are unsure about how to do so in these pandemic time.
Sri Sandip Ghose, COO, Birla Corporation Limited, says: “We have taken a number of steps so that our end-consumers can resume their construction activities in a safe & secure manner.”
Consumers can call the toll-free helpline number 1800 123 1117 and get help to complete construction of one’s dream home. The call centre executive will connect the IHB with the Customer Support & Services (CSS) cell of MP Birla Cement. The CSS team members will help them overcome all the construction-related problems post-lockdown. They will establish virtual connection with them, tie them up with local contractors and masons from their extensive influencer data base, and also ensure consistent supply of material through the company dealers. It will not only help the homebuilders realize the dream of their own home but also create work opportunity for construction workers, many of whom are out of work opportunity.
Sri Dev Banerjee, President, Sales & Logistics, said the MP Birla Cement and our toll-free number teams are ready to answer all the construction-related questions from our valued customers. All our plants are now making quality cement for ready delivery. Home builders should utilize the support service at their fullest, he emphasized.
