Making concrete blocks is a great way to make a living.Your product is always in demand everywhere and will never go out of style.Cement blocks are used in the construction of everything from small backyard structures to very large buildings.They are a basic commodity of the building trade for which there is always a strong demand.

By using your garage as a workshop you can start small with very low costs.One person working with hand made molds can easily turn out 100 concrete blocks per day.You can make the molds yourself with available plans. All you require is basic tools and a supply of plywood and sheet metal.You need to make a number of these molds then fill them with concrete mix of suitable composition. To mix the concrete you will need Portland cement,gravel of the right size,sand and a supply of water.Everything you need can be purchased locally at your building supply store or lumber yard.

Your business will grow to the point where you need more than 100 blocks per day to supply your customers. You can buy a concrete block making machine which will make hundreds of blocks per day.These machines are expensive.There is a less costly way to do it--you can build your own machine.Yes a very good machine can be built from available plans.Used auto parts,sheet metal and a few odds and ends are the components.Your local welding shop will do the necessary welding for you if you can't weld.

As your concrete products business grows you will need more room to store your cement blocks for drying.You will need to find a rented business space if you do not have enough room.You will be making sufficient profits at this point that this will not be an obstacle.For maximum productivity you will need a helper to move the blocks from the concrete block machine to the drying racks.This could be an employee,a partner or a family member.

You will certainly find that selling your products is not a problem.As a local manufacturer you have a big cost advantage over a distant supplier.Concrete products are heavy and transportation costs are high.Local production allows you to supply youir customers at a very competitive price while still making an excellent profit.

Manufacturing concrete products is a near ideal opportunity for someone looking for a low cost way to start a business.From a small start you can move ahead at your own pace to build your business to a full time very lucrative enterprise.You can even continue to work at your nice safe job while you build the business.Evening and weekend work will get you started.You will go full time when profits from your business are sufficient and there is then no limit to the growth of your concrete block business.
