They are skilled in building and construction. They first established themselves at Dhaneti and were granted 18 villages by the rulers of Kutch. They are famous designers and developers of buildings and bridges.]</ref><ref>[http://www.docstoc.com/docs/6135227/Kachchh Kutch Gurjar Kshatriya & other communities of Kutch] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110710143114/http://www.docstoc.com/docs/6135227/Kachchh |date=2011-07-10 }}</ref>
