Making concrete blocks is one of the easiest,and most
profitable,business opportunities.You can start in your
garage and make 100 cement blocks per day using hand made
molds.You need very little investment since you make the
molds yourself using plywood and sheet metal.Portland
cement, gravel,sand and water are used to make the
appropriate concrete mix.You hand fill the molds,extract
the blocks and set them out to dry.
Concrete blocks are a basic commodity of the building
trade.They are used to build everything from large
buildings to small backyard barbeques. When you manufacture
cement blocks you can be sure there is always a market for
your product.They do not go out of style like a here
today,gone tomorrow hula hoop.
Transportation of concrete products is expensive due to
their weight and bulk. You do not have this cost in selling
to local customers.You can supply them at a very
competitive price and still make a nice profit.Many
building supply stores have to bring their concrete
products in from distant suppliers which adds substantially
to the cost of the product.You will find them very
receptive to the better price you can give them.
You can start your concrete products business as a part
time project while continuing to work at your job.This
makes it very easy since there is no loss of income while
you build your business from a small start.You can then go
full time when production and profits merit this
move.Working evenings and weekends can be quite profitable
and full time work can earn you a wonderful living.
When you become a full time concrete block maker you will
need more space to store and dry your blocks.You will also
need a concrete block making machine which can turn out
hundreds of blocks per day.Rented business premises will be
necessary to handle the drying racks for your blocks.You
can buy a machine capable of turning out all the blocks you
can sell.It is quite an expensive tool.The less costly way
is to build your own machine.
From available plans you can build an excellent concrete
block making machine from used auto parts,sheet metal and a
few odds and ends.It works as well as any commercial
model.If you can't do the necessary welding a local welding
shop will do it for you at reasonable cost.This fine
machine can turn out 800 concrete blocks per day with
ease.You can build it for a fraction of the cost of a
commecial model.You will probably require a helper to move
the blocks from the machine to the drying racks.An
employee,family member or business partner can do this for
you.
Besides making cement blocks you can manufacture patio
slabs, garden ornaments,garden furniture,bird baths and
many other items. These are very profitable sidelines and
plans are available for all of them. You can also go into
the business of building with concrete blocks and build
everything from garages,sheds and other buildings to small
backyard projects such as compost boxes and barbeques.As
the manufacturer of the concrete products used you will
find this to be very profitable.
Making concrete blocks and other concrete products is a
good way to make a living.You can build,from scratch,a
business which will bring you a wonderful income.Sufficient
in fact to afford the things you can only dream of while
working at most jobs.
