Hajgoli is a quaint sleepy village on the outskirts of Kolhapur, where our client desired to build a home for his family. In spite of being 3 hrs. away from Goa, this village is connected to the the nearby major cities and hubs by only road ways. One of the challenges in construction was its remote location.
