Despite that having a roof over one’s head is one of the basic needs of man, a lot of people still don’t consider this business a profitable business venture. Probably because people think it’s a business for the uneducated.

Block Industry Business

Block making refers to the mixture of powdered cement, sand, gravel with water in a way that produces a light gray colour with fine surface texture and strength after sun drying. It began with the need to satisfy builders and save them the stress that comes with building.

Block industries make high-quality blocks fit for building houses such that the constructions do not easily collapse. And any block that falls short of this, is not good for building. The business sells more in the dry season than the rainy season because several builders build during the dry season.

Looking at your immediate environment, you will see that people are building houses, schools, shops, religious centers, hospitals, factories, offices, and industries. This explains why this business opportunity is viable.

Register Your Business

Once the block industry business plan has been documented, the next is to register the business with CAC and other recognized authorities. Doing a business registration will give you access to loans and other opportunities tailored to entrepreneurs.

Also, you can bid for a contract from the local, state, and federal government or private companies to supply blocks and other building materials with a registered business.

If you want to take away the stress of registering the business yourself with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), ReDahlia is your plug. We can provide you with all the necessary information and give you legal advice on how to go about it.

Startup Capital

Block making is capital intensive with start-up capital running into millions depending on the scale you want to start and the resources you have in place. The cost of securing land in a good location can be on the high side. Besides, you will need to get raw materials, sink a borehole, get block making equipment, e.t.c. And, set aside worker salaries for at least two months.

A local manual moulder cost about N10,000 to N15,000 naira while the vibrating machine goes for about N100,000 to N150,000. You also need to buy a lister generator and other equipment. Depending on your scale, you can buy 1 or 2 moulders for a start.

For capital, you can ask for soft loans from family and friends if you do not have enough capital to start. Also, you can use crowdfunding sites or approach financial institutions for a loan.

Step By Step Plan On How To Start Block Industry Business

Acquire land.

You can start a block industry by renting, leasing, or purchasing land in a new or developing site. It can be a plot or more depending on what you can afford. This land should not be in a swampy or waterlogged area because it can affect the quality of your block. Aside from that, it can make driving in that condition very difficult for suppliers and customers.

On the land, set up a small roofed shed using plank or blocks depending on what you can afford. Create a store for storing cement, shovel, head pan, wheelbarrow, and other equipment.

Then, create a shed where the lister and molding machine can be operated. The roof can be without walls or side coverings, it is just to protect the machine from being constantly drenched by rain or sun.

Most importantly make sure your location can be easily accessed by cars, truck, or other means of transportation. This will ease the stress on the part of customers and your workers.

Water System

For a block making industry, you need water supply and more of it. Water will be used to mix sand and cements, to mould blocks and to water block on daily basis until it becomes strong.

If you do not have a natural water supply like stream or river, sink a borehole or dig a well, then, install tanks. Just make sure you have a guaranteed source of water at all times.

Some of the equipment used in a block industry business are:

Generator : Lister generator is usually preferred for block making. It will be used to power the molding machine, borehole, mixing machine, and other power-consuming equipment in case of an electricity outage. Ensure to get a durable one that is noise proof, does not constantly breakdown, and does not consume much diesel.

Molder : This is a machine where the blocks are molded from. It is also called a vibrating machine due to the kind of noise it makes while molding. The molder molds block in different sizes and shapes. It can be constructed by welders or better still purchased from manufacturing companies.

Wood Carriers : This is a flat wooden plank used to carry block from the molder to the drying point, mostly under the sun where it will be arranged in sections. It is constructed by carpenters in a handy and movable way. It’s highly important in the block industry business as it enables easy carriage of blocks.

Supply Truck : Depending on how you are starting, you can get trucks for delivery services.

Concrete Mixer – This is a machine used for mixing sand, cement, and water in the right proportion.

Diesel ; About 25 litres to 30 litres every day depending on how long the moulding machine will be on. You can plan for about 100 litres for a week but ensure to store in a cool dry place to avoid an explosion.

You will also need : Shovel, head pan, wheelbarrow, e.t.c

Human Resource

For a standard block industry business, you will need to employ the services of people; machine operators, mixers, laborers, loaders, and drivers.

The machine operator handles and operates the machine. The mixers mix the cement and sand that goes into the molder, while, the laborers move the blocks from the molder to the drying point.

You can also employ a cashier or supervisor (optional) if you won’t be on the ground to oversee the day to day operation. In addition, you need, a driver who will transport the blocks to customers in different places, and loaders, who take responsibility for loading and offloading of blocks at different points.  

In this business, labourers are usually paid daily based on the number of blocks or the types of block they make.

Sand And Cement

Sand, cement, and water are the raw materials used for block making. Start by getting a supply that can last for a week or more, so you don’t become short of materials at a crucial time.

For sand, three kinds are needed for block making; sharp sand, stone dust, and ordinary mud sand. These three are then mixed together with cement and water to form the solid block substance. You can speak with quarry managers on supply and negotiate the delivery time.

For the cement, find out the best cement that makes a block strong and go for it. Besides, you can also venture into cement selling since it comes handy with a block industry business.

Make Blocks

Once the whole material and equipment are set, the next thing is to start making the blocks. This requires mixing a proportion of cement, sand, and gravel with water.

There’s a certain number of blocks that can be made from a bag of cement; about 35 – 40 (9 inches), 50 – 55 (6 inches), and 60 – 65 (4 inches) blocks. They are sold at different prices.

Also, look for ways to scale your production daily to maximise profit. For instance, a block molding machine makes about 5000 blocks in a day. If you have two, that will be 10,000 blocks a day. This will help you meet the demands of your customers.

How To Start A Lucrative Block Industry Business In Nigeria and Africa: The Complete Guide

Block industry business is one of the most lucrative ventures in Nigeria and Africa, with a high demand for building materials to meet the rapid urbanization and construction boom in the region. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, the Nigerian construction industry grew by 1.74% in the fourth quarter of 2020, indicating a steady increase in demand for building materials such as blocks. Additionally, the Africa construction market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.50% during the forecast period (2021-2026), according to Mordor Intelligence.

The block industry business involves the production and supply of concrete blocks, which are widely used in the construction of residential and commercial buildings, as well as infrastructure projects such as roads, bridges, and dams. With a growing population and increasing urbanization, the demand for affordable housing and infrastructure development is expected to drive the growth of the block industry business in Nigeria and Africa.

In Nigeria, the block industry business is mainly dominated by small-scale operators who produce blocks using manual methods, while in some countries in Africa, such as Ethiopia and Kenya, there are large-scale block production plants that utilize automated machinery. However, there is still a huge gap in the demand and supply of blocks in the region, providing ample opportunities for new entrants into the market.

Furthermore, there is a potential for export opportunities for block industry businesses in Nigeria, given the high demand for building materials in neighboring countries such as Chad, Niger, and Cameroon. With proper branding and marketing strategies, block industry businesses in Nigeria can tap into these markets to increase their revenue and expand their operations.

The Peak Season For The Block Industry Business In Nigeria and Africa

The peak production and supply season for block industry business in Nigeria and Africa varies depending on factors such as weather, construction activities, and demand.

Starting a Block Industry May Be Your Road Map to Profitable Business

Block Industry

Block making, commonly known as block industry in Nigeria, is a very profitable venture.   Gone are the days, people see it as a vocation for the uneducated and unskilled ones . 

Far from it! 

Whether you are a school dropout, a university graduate, a professional or a retiree looking for profitable business to engage in; block making is a venture to consider.

And the best part is that it is scalable; that is, you can start small and grow big with time.

You can also start big if you have the financial capacity and still grow it to become bigger. 

Why is block industry growing rapidly?

The simple reason is: rising population and increasing housing needs.

Nigeria’s  population is about 213 million people (2021 est) and growing at 4% yearly.  Again, the country is rapidly urbanizing with almost half of the inhabitants  living in cities.  And according to some studies, by 2050, seventy-five percent of the population will be urban based.

Any wonder there is pressure on shelter.   

The National Bureau of Statistics puts housing deficit at over 17 million units and will need an investment of NGN60 trillion to cover this wide gap.

The need for housing is pervasive; including shelter (residential accommodation), recreation, offices, places of worship, markets, schools, shopping malls, hotels, parks, amongst others.  An essential component used in the construction of these properties is cement concrete block.   For this reason blocks are always in high demand.   

However, qaulity blocks is in short supply.

It therefore provides a good opportunity for investment. If you have ever thought of taking advantage of the ever expanding real estate sector, consider investing in block industry.

What is Involved

A block industry is a facility set up to mould blocks of various sizes in large quantities.  And then, selling to people who are building houses or contractors handling construction projects of different forms. 

Cement blocks can either be solid or hollow.  However, hollow blocks are most popular and commonly used for housing construction in Nigeria. 

Roadside Block Industry

The block making plant considered here is one that produces hollow concrete blocks of 9 and 6 inches. The major raw materials required are sand, cement and water.  Cement is the binder.  

Bigger factories may produce all types of blocks including hollow blocks, solid bricks, interlocking, curbstones, slabs, retaining walls, etc.  The production of these require the use of a multi-functional block making machine.

Block Industry Set Up

Block making can be labour intensive.  Or capital intensive. Thus, it is your level of investment that determines your scale of operation.  For a labour intensive set up, what you need is a manual mould.  And a large part of the production process, from mixing to moulding will be handled by human labour. 

A manual set up can be enhanced by the adoption of a manually operated machine.   Many of the block industries you see around are set up this way.  

The process can also be semi-automated.  In this case, part of the production process is manually carried out and other parts handled by machine.  In a semi-automated process, the moulds are fed into the machine and the blocks are vibrated mechanically.  The output of a semi-automated process is far higher than that of manual process. 

There is also a fully automated process which requires investment in automated concrete block making equipment.  In this model, the process of block making is completely automated.  Once the sand, cement and water is fed into the machine in the right ratio, the machine takes the materials through the process of mixing and moulding automatically.

However setting up a complete automated line of block making plant with sophisticated equipment in a large expanse of land will require much more investment. On this scale, it is a very capital intensive venture.

How Much Do You Need to Start?

My goal in this blog is to help visitors/readers identify interesting and lucrative small scale business and investment opportunities .  Businesses they can start with small amount of money.  Block industry is one of such ventures. 

Given the current rate of inflation, with an investment of N1,200,000 or even less, you can set up a manual block industry, using a manually operated machine.  This is  assuming you already have a vacant land. On this scale you will be producing between 200 to 500 blocks per day depending on your strength or number of labour you employ.

Such a small scale block industry  can be making as much as N20,000 in daily profit if you are able to develop a ready market.  This will translate to N120,000 per week for a six day working week and N480,000 per month net of all expenses. 

Isn’t that cool?

What You Will Need to Establish Your Block Industry

This is the number one thing you will need to establish a block industry.  A piece of land measuring 600 sq.m will be enough for a beginner.  You can either buy the land outright if you can afford to,  or rent it or even partner with land owners.  However, in acquiring your land, you must give consideration to the topography.  Don’t site your block making business in a water logged area or swampy environment. 

This will affect your business because your block will continually be moist, or can be carried away by erosion.  Most importantly delivery will be affected because vehicles may find it difficult accessing your site to pick your blocks.  For this reason, ensure that your plant is located on a dry land.

#2. Moulding Machine

After land, the block moulding machine, is the most important piece of equipment you will have to acquire to set up your block industry. There are locally fabricated machines that are manually operated.  There are also automatic moulding machines and multifunctional machines that can be imported from China, India, Germany, etc.  The type of machine you install depends on the scale you want to operate..

#3. Standard Source of Power

You will need regular power supply to keep your vibrating moulding machine running.  A diesel generator is highly desirable.  Most operators use Lister engine.  We hope there will be a time in Nigeria where entrepreneurs will no longer need to provide their own source of power.

#4. Construct a Shed

You will have to construct a shed to house your block moulder and your Lister Engine.  This will protect these equipment from rain.  The shed is a simple structure with four beams and without block walls but covered with a roof. If you have the resources, you can carve out an area with block walls within the shed to serve as your office, changing room for staff and a store to keep your raw materials, particularly cement.

#5. Source of Water

Water is a very crucial material in the production of concrete blocks and you will be needing it in very large quantity and regularly too.  Water is needed to mix the cement and sand as well as to sprinkle on the moulded blocks to enhance its hardness.  The best strategy is to dig a well in your site for regular water supply.  If you have the resources then sink a borehole but a dug well will serve the purpose adequately.

#6. Overhead Water Tank

You will need an overhead water tank to collect water from the source for ease of use.

#7. Pumping Machine

This pumps water from the Well or bore hole to the overhead water tank, ready for use.

#8. Delivery Truck

An open pick-up vehicle is adequate to serve as your delivery van.  You will need this van to enable you deliver products to your customers at their sites.  A serviceable fairly used vehicle can serve this purpose and as you scale up your operations, you can acquire a suitable truck.

In this estimate, I have made delivery truck optional for a small scale operator.  This is due to the assumption that the reader of this post is operating on a tight budget.  So you can begin by rentin vans to or trucks to deliver products to your customers.  Later when you have achieved some scale, you can consider adding a deliery truck.

#9. Wooden Pallets

Get a carpenter to construct wooden pallets for carrying blocks to the drying/curing place.  Construct, as many as possible, depending on the capacity of your plant.  

Other Equipment

You may also need a mixer.  Other equipment you will certainly buy include: head pans,  shovels, wheel barrow, head pans and water hose.  The quantity you will buy will depend on the scale of your production and the number of hands working on your facility.  These items are easily available at any hardware store or building material market around.

Success Factors

A key success factor in this business is to locate your industry in a rapidly developing area with a lot construction works going on.  This will not only ensure regular demand for your products but also make delivery easy because most of the people that will be buying from you are those building around your location. 

It is also essential to locate your block making factory on a dry land to avoid flood destroying your blocks and other raw materials, such as cement and sand. So it is important that before you set up your factory, you do a detail study of the environment to ascertain both the commercial and technical viability of your project.

Your success will largely depend on your organization skills, your capacity to reach out to bricklayers, building contractors and other people in charge of building projects.  Reach it to these people and get them to patronize you with whatever incentive you can offer.

You will also have to make arrangement for regular supply of the materials you will need, especially cement and sand.  There is nothing as bad as not being able to meet order because you are not able to source materials.  You should develop good relationship with cement and sand suppliers so such that you can get these items on a single phone call whether or not you have the money to pay immediately.

Manpower Needs

You will use mostly daily paid labour.   But will also need to hire experience workers to operate the moulding machine as well as the sand and cement mixer.  For these processes, you will need people who have some experience to know the right mix of material to produce the quality of blocks required.

Depending on your scale, you will need an admin and account staff to help organize things around and liaise externally on corporate matters as well as keep the books.  You may need a marketing person to manage relationship and develop business.  Of course, you can confidently handle this function as the entrepreneur if you have the necessary skills. Or if you are operating on bootstrap.

Very important is the services of a security guard to man the entire facility.  This is important because your block making facility is usually an open space.  Hence  the need for somebody with the responsibility. 

The security guard will secure unsold blocks, unused materials and prevent vandalization of your equipment.

Final Words

Every business start up needs careful planning to ensure an enduring success.  Would you need any help in your planning?  Feel free to contact us at kobotalk.   We can help develop a block industry business plan, source and procure good block moulding machine and help out with business registration.

These are some of the services we render at a cost very friendly to your economy.

To your success as always!

Please, is it possible to start a block industry with say #400,000?

Please, What is the approximate amount one can use to start a block industry business ?

The scale of your operation will determine how much you will need to invest.

But let’s assume the least of scales. Let’s also assume you already have a space (land), then N500, 000 will get you started.

With that level of investment, your operation will be semi-manual.

You can start with locally fabricated equipment and a refurbished lister engine. This scale will also mean you will not have a delivery vehicle.

The best practice however is to conduct a market study and prepare a business plan. That way you are able to consider all aspects of your business and get a more accurate estimate of how much you need to invest.

Your Ideas, Steps and business plan model are very much impressive.

Please I want to start block industry and I only have #300,000.

#300,000 may not be enough to start with, especially if you do not have a land/space already. To start on a tight budget, you should be looking at a minimum of #600,000 minus the cost of land and that is assuming you will start with used locally fabricated machine. You may also have to work out credit arrangement with suppliers of sand and cement to ease your cashflow.

I am Ezeigbo Cajetan by name,a graduate of Civil Engineering from Imo state.

As an unemployed graduate engineer,I have come up with an idea of going into block moulding industry despite that I don’t have the capital but it is one of the dream businesses I would like to venture into.

I don’t have a proposal on this and I wish you can help with me with one which I may use to access loan or grant to start up this business

Executive Summary ABC BLOCKS is a business involved in the manufacturing of building concrete, bricks and blocks for masonry, builders association, housing consultant, development agencies, construction workers etc.

We make block of uniform quality and sell them at a price high enough to cover costs and make a reasonable profit.

Cement concrete blocks are modern construction materials and as such are use in all the construction viz: residential, commercial, and industrial building construction.

The business is owned by Moses Daniel with over 15 years experience in Block making and construction works industry.

The project set up cost is N5 million using imported machines. The project is very profitable. With aggressive marketing strategies, good management, and the payback period would be less than 2 years. The return on investment is very encouraging at 25 per cent of profit.

We forecasted a 40% market share. The business will generate a very high gross margin and a modest net margin after year one and comfortable margin after year three. By year three the business will have developed a respectable yearly net profit.

INTRODUCTION Business Opportunity The increasing need to build new residential houses, factories and offices to accommodate Nigeria’s large population has made cement block production a very lucrative business in the country. Over the last 10 years, building and construction sector has undergone strong growth rates in the range of 8-10% in Nigeria (Source: National Bureau of Statistics, 2013). Housing and construction is one of the major drivers of growth in more than 40 allied industries, the cement block industry included. Demand for cement blocks has also risen tremendously as a result of the demand for it in the housing and construction industry. In addition to this, there is also increasing demand of cement blocks from government and multi-national contractors for building purposes. A potential cement block producer must have a good level of patience and must have time for the job. He must also know or be willing to know about building business, as this will help a great deal and increase his profitability in the long run. Also, the business owner must have good networking relationship with individuals and corporate customers; he must possess the necessary skills to:

Manufacture concrete blocks with highest quality cement that dries quickly for commercial production, Recruit skilled workforce, Set up the business on a dry land, Ensure availability of truck to deliver goods to customers’ desired location, Provide reliable and durable equipment for the successful operation of the business Ironically, the market is still relatively small. There is strong competition, and the cost of preparing cement block is high. The industry is also affected by non-availability of modern machinery in the local market at an affordable rate. Local customs traditions, and non-availability of infrastructural facilities are also other major hurdles in the development of the sector. The main risks associated with the business include inability of production staff to wet the blocks on the second day of production thereby preventing the blocks to command high market value, frequent rainfall to prevent blocks to congeal as at when due and inability to service vibrating machine regularly. Volatility of the price of cement is a huge threat in the blocking making industry. However, the business owner should ensure close supervision of production staff and regular servicing of vibrating block molding machine. As a start-up business, the categories of cement blocks for production are four inches block, six inches block and nine inches block. The business is expected to be registered with all the relevant agencies such as Corporate Affairs Commission and Concrete Blocks Manufacturer Association of Nigeria. The business is starting up with =N=5,000,000 (five million naira) in cash part of which would be used to finance fixed assets, expenses and other running cost.

-Success Factor

Land Most Block Industry owners do not own the land they work from. It mostly belongs to farmers who they pay a lease to. Make sure you are close to a water source like river,stream or water way or dig a well. Water is the life blood of the business. Do not under any circumstance entertain the idea of buying water or the business will crash before it takes of!

2.Machinery You need a Lister engine. These are very expensive, so you want to source for the most affordable you can find.This normally means travelling out of town to buy one. You need a moulding machine. This is what shapes your blocks. These are made to order by local manufacturers. You need a Water Pumping Machine(Looks like a small generator) This brings in water from your source.

3. Materials You need wooden pallets.This is where your blocks stay to dry out after moulding.Bought from local makers. Start with a few hundred pieces (200-500 pieces). You need also 1 x Wheel Barrow 2 x Shovels 2 x Metal drums(To house water for your machines during moulding.) 2 x Security chains to secure items when you leave site.

4.Storage You have two options. Buy wood from the market and ask a carpenter to construct a small hut for you. Alternatively and more expensively you can buy a disused shipping container and convert. This is to store your items like unused bags of cement when you leave for the day.

5. Daily operation It’s profitable depending on a few factors. Location: For obvious reasons Season: During rainy season contructions all over the country slow down meaning less need to buy blocks and less business. Inflation: When a bag of cement rises or falls it affects your ability to mold and customers ability to build or buy blocks for doing so. Capital: The business is very cash intensive.

Every thing you do you will have to pay upfront whilst waiting for sale to recoup cost and profit. This includes the machine operator and labourers who are all paid per block and types of block(there are two types) and on the day! This includes your sand delivery which is paid upfront. This includes your bags of cement which you obviously buy upfront too. Production capacity- Our capacity to produce is a key success factor in this industry. Supply of labour- Access to labour will impact the success of the business greatly.

Product /services Manufacturing of building concrete, bricks and blocks for masonry, builders association, housing consultant, development agencies, construction workers etc.

9” Block 6” Block-

Cement- Interlocking- The benefits of my products and services are

My product is highly needed in the building and construction sector in order to tackle the problem of building collapse cases in my society by producing concrete blocks that are qualitative, durable and strong when compared to the ones being produced by my competitors. The quality, solidity, reliability, packaging and delivery of my product is one of the benefits that makes it to stand out and unique from the ones being produced for sales by my competitors.

COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE Most people in the industry produce an average of 50 9” blocks from one bag of cement which makes block not to be strong enough for building construction and which consequently leads to building collapse My innovation is to produce 36 solid brocks from a cement which makes it last long.

Despite this high demand for concrete blocks, which makes the business a very lucrative one, the government and high authorities in various countries still advocate that builders should use only certified building materials, of which solid concrete blocks are part of, to ensure that calamities such as the collapse of buildings are avoided.

This is why a potential cement block producer has to be willing to know about the business as this will help a great deal and increase his profitability in the long run.

So if you are interested in owning your own concrete block industry , below are some of the basic tips you need to know, so as to be very successful.

Concrete Cement Block Moulding Industry Business Tips

The first step is to conduct a proper market survey. You cannot just go into a business with out of having a substantive knowledge about it, this is the reason for the market survey as it enables you to know the ways to start up, the cost of recruiting skilled workforce, know equipment that can be reliable and durable amongst other things. All this information can be gotten by reading relevant books, surfing the internet and visiting some notable block moulding industries you can have access to.

The concrete block moulding business , is not one you can run from the comfort of your home. This makes proper documentation and licencsing of the business with the relevant agencies such as Corporate Affairs Commission and Concrete Block Manufacture Association of Nigeria, very necessary.

You also need training, so you can have a firsthand knowledge about the business you are going into, and already existing block moulding industries can be of assistance.

For a place to locate your business, you need a place that can be easily accessible. You also need to consider your proximity to water supply but ensure that the place is not swampy or prone to flood.

Equipments needed for the concrete block moulding business includes; a block processing machine, a sound leister generator, a truck and wooden pallets. If you don’t have enough capital to go for brand new ones, you could opt for the fairly used ones as long as they are reliable for the successful operation of the business. Then as you start making your profits, you could get new ones.

You must not employ a lot of workers when you are beginning your business. You could start with a minimum of five workers, which would mean having two mixers, two carriers and one operator, you can then expand this number as your business grows, but ensure that your workers however small are skillful and diligent.

For the sake of the success of your business and for the sake of your customers, you need to manufacture concrete blocks with highest quality cement that dries quickly for commercial production. This is because every buyer looks out for solid blocks that are of high quality. So your workers have to be aware of the fact, that the quality of the block is paramount and should not be compromised. This will also help to boost your business as it would attract and keep customers for you.
