Making concrete blocks is a profitable business.They are in
constant demand almost everywhere.They are a commodity
which is used for building all over North America and
nearly everywhere in the world.When you manufacture
concrete blocks you are not making widgets which may be in
demand today but not next year.They are a fundamental
component for all kinds of building from a huge warehouse
to a garage or barbeque in the backyard.As long as people
are building small or large projects the demand will never
die.
For anyone who wants to get into a really solid
business,with low start up costs, the concrete block making
business is almost ideal.It is quite possible to start in
your garage or back yard,using home made molds,to turn out
one hundred or more blocks per day.One person who is
willing to put in a good days work can do this. You make
the molds yourself from plywood and sheet metal and any
handyman can do this in a home workshop.You can start part
time ,working evenings or weekends, and soon build a very
profitable business.All you need is your molds and a supply
of cement,sand,gravel and water.The cost is low and the
profit potential is high.
Working from home,with low overhead costs,you have a huge
advantage over larger concrete block makers,who may have to
pay for expensive premises and staff.If local builders have
to buy from distant sources,the cost of transportation to
bring concrete blocks to a building site is high,since they
are very heavy. You have no transportation costs and can
supply local buyers at a very good price.You can make
yourself a handsome profit.Of course with one person
working alone,using hand molds, your production is limited
by the time and effort involved.
You will reach the point where you can no longer fill the
demand with part time work. You will be ready to go full
time in this very lucrative business.You may also want to
acquire a concrete block making machine,which can turn out
hundreds of blocks in a day.You may need help at this point
and you must have enough space to store the blocks for
drying.The blocks must be dried well for delivery to your
buyers.Concrete block making machines are expensive.You may
feel confident enough at this point to borrow several
thousand dollars to buy your machine.However if you don't
want to invest all that money there is another way.You can
build a machine yourself.
Build a machine yourself?Well it is not as hard as it might
seem at first.There are plans available that will enable
anyone to build a concrete block making machine.The
components are used automobile parts and some sheet
metal.You also need to be able to do some welding. If you
are not skilled at this your local welding shop will do it
for you.Instead of spending thousands of dollars on a
factory made machine you can,for a few hundred dollars,make
a machine which will perform as well as any of them.Presto
you are ready to turn out concrete blocks in high
volume.You can now supply any building project,large or
small,at a really competitive price.
The concrete block making business is almost a no
brainer.The demand is strong everywhere.By taking the route
I have discussed you can't fail.You can work at your job
till you are ready to go full time when the demand for your
product requires you to.
