Leaning towards this technological shift, Abi Build inculcates eco-friendly, non-toxic waterproofing materials that ensure long-term protection without harming the environment.
Creating a niche for itself, Abi Build specializes in waterproofing for residential and commercial buildings. Furthermore, leakage in the building is a very common problem and they are on the top of the list of owners complaints. Abi Build provides a broad range of solutions to meet specific waterproofing needs and protects your home while providing a safe environment to your family. Here, the goal is to provide the customer a healthy and safe living with complete waterproofed building.

The Legacy of Expertise
Abi Build was founded by Suresh Rethinam back in 2010 under the guidance of the late Dr Surendra Prasad Bhatnagar, a distinguished expert in organic chemistry. Dr Bhatnagar held a Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry and was a Chartered Chemist (C.Chem) from London, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC), a Fellow of the National Academy of Sciences, India (FNASc), and a Fellow of the New York Academy of Sciences, USA.
He was also the founder of Tech-Dry (India). Inspired by Dr Bhatnagar’s deep scientific knowledge and commitment to innovation in construction chemistry, Rethinam brings in-depth expertise in the field of waterproofing with almost 3 decades of industry experience.
The company was established with a clear mission to deliver cutting-edge, reliable, and sustainable waterproofing solutions that are tailored to each client’s needs. The core values of the company encompasses utmost integrity, innovation, and excellence. Additionally, the company envisions to be the most trusted waterproofing solutions provider in the region, making itself at par with quality benchmarks to ensure optimal customer satisfaction.
Customer-Centric Excellence
One of the most distinctive features of the company is its unwavering customer-centric approach.
Abi Build believes in building long-term, trust-based relationships with its clients rather than focusing on one-time services. This philosophy drives every aspect of operations, from understanding each client’s unique needs to offering tailored solutions that foster sustained success. The company follows the highest international safety and quality standards, ensuring that every project it undertakes is executed with the utmost professionalism and precision. The commitment to transparency is evident in every step of the process, where the company prioritizes clear communication and delivers on promises.
Furthermore, timely delivery is another cornerstone of its approach, as Abi Build understands the importance of meeting deadlines without compromising on quality. Additionally, the integration of cutting-edge technology allows the company to stay ahead of industry trends, optimizing efficiency and providing innovative solutions that meet evolving market demands. Together, these elements combine to set the company apart, positioning it as a reliable and forward-thinking partner for our clients.
Today, the success of the company is driven by a commitment to quality through four key practices. First is the conduction of thorough site inspections and moisture assessments to accurately identify potential issues and ensure appropriate treatments for long-lasting protection. The company uses only high-quality, certified materials, guaranteeing durability and adherence to industry standards.
Its skilled professionals, who are extensively trained, apply these materials with precision to achieve flawless execution. Finally, the post-application quality checks are conducted, after which the company provides warranties, offering its clients peace of mind and ensuring the lasting effectiveness of the well-equipped services. Together, these practices ensure reliable, high-quality solutions that stand the test of time.

Tailored Solutions & Protection
Every site is unique, hence it requires a structured diagnosis approach with visual inspections, moisture meter testing, and structural assessments. Based on the findings, the company designs customized solutions that address the root cause, not just the symptoms.
Moreover, the company offers extended warranties and annual maintenance packages for continued protection. The teams follow strict safety protocols, including PPE use, scaffold safety, and proper waste disposal. Furthermore, the company also ensures property protection with full site coverage and zero-damage policies.
Regularly attending industry expos, subscribing to international waterproofing journals, and investing in staff training enables us to meet international quality standards
Client Education & Workforce Development
One of the major challenges faced by the company is convincing clients of the long-term value of high-quality materials over cheaper alternatives. The company overcame this by educating clients with data-backed presentations and case studies which comes from intense research and by understanding the new technological trends in the market. Another challenge was retaining skilled labour, which has been addressed by offering competitive wages and regular skill training.
“By regularly attending industry expos, subscribing to international waterproofing journals, and investing in staff training, enables us to meet international quality standards”, states Suresh Rethinam, Founder, Abi Build. Adding to this, the company also collaborates with global manufacturers to test and adopt new materials and technologies.
The Robust Future Roadmap
Going forward, Abi Build aims to spread its wings across multiple cities while maintaining service excellence. Works are underway to launch a system that enables instant waterproofing consultations. As a long-term initiative, it wishes to create an industry-wide awareness campaign on sustainable waterproofing practices.
