How to start a concrete cement block business  

I am working on a spreadsheet that will help you to do calculations for materials and cost when making cement blocks here is a preview of the spreadsheet.. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-czv56lUjdUY.html

I love the way you repeat yourself for our understanding. God bless you, brother.

Please correct me if I'm wrong. If I hear you correctly, he said: "Every ton = ten wheelbarrows of sand." If a ton is 2,000 pounds, that would mean that each wheelbarrow of sand weighs 200 pounds. "From a ton of sand, you can produce concrete 70 blocks." So mathematically, 2,000 pounds of sand, producing 70 blocks, means each block will use 28.57 pounds of sand to produce. You also said, "With one bag of cement powder and five wheelbarrows of sand, you can make 35 blocks." so "2 bags of cement, will give you 10 wheelbarrows of concrete and can produce 70 blocks." Formula: 2 bags cement + 10 wheelbarrows of sand = 70 blocks. So when you go to buy your material (sand, cement powder) so for 100 tons (of material), you multiply by 2 to get the number of block. (100 tons x 2 = 200 blocks) (I think that is what he said.) "Client request 3,000 blocks, divide by 3,000 by 35 to get the number of bags of cement powder that is needed." 3,000 blocks / 35 = 85.75 bags of cement powder. Then divide the number of bags by 2 to get the tonnage needed." 85.78 bags / 2 = 42.86 tons for the 3,000 blocks." 70 blocks = using ten wheelbarrows of sand for every ton he is collecting. (70 blocks = 10 wheelbarrows = 1 ton) .... 1 bag of cement lays 80 blocks. (1 bag of cement makes the mortar to lay 80 blocks. ) 3,000 blocks/80 blocks being laid gives you the number of bags of cement needed, which would be 37.5 bags of cement. Remember each bag of cement being used requires 5 wheelbarrows of sand. etc...

Appreciated ♥

Thanks for the information.

I saw you on Kenganda and now I have subscribed for more information

Good job

Good to share your experience, but now you need to know in detail about different strength of blocks basing on laboratody tests, it is not general. Some projects needs more stronger blocks compared other. Also we do specify ratio for cement mortor for laying blocks. So here you need to specify basing on nature of the project

hello, i am Roger from China Giantlin block machine factory, we produce different concrete block machines and clay brick making machines.

Thanks for your video I understand

this is nice for sure it makes me think of making my own for construction

I am planning to do a detailed video on a white board to explain the formulas. So please don't forget to subscribe and press the notification bell so you do not miss it.

Very informative, Thank you very very much...If I may ask in terms of production capacity differences.... Option 1: On a single mould manual machine, how many blocks can be produced per day? Option 2: On a 6 Drop manual machine how many blocks can be produced on average per day?

Is it advice to. Mix 3 wheelbarrow of sand plus 2 wheelbarrow of quarry dust can produce good block

Is a very good business if there's market

Bos thanks for hard work your doing ,if want to start that business how is the demand and what is price per block?

Shani. I live in Luanshya. Where are you based as costs differ between the Copperbelt and Lusaka. Natotela.

Thank you for sharing your experience brother, but you didn't mention the kg of one bag of cement or maybe I missed it

Please can you help me know how many blocks will build a 3 bedrooms 2 toilets, a kitchen, dinning and sitting room. Second question how many bags of cement will be used to lay the blocks, pillars and lintos

What's the cement bag strength 32.5 , 42.5 n 52.5 ?

Hi I'm from Kenya I like the video. My question is how much water should be added while mixing 5 wheelbarrows of quarry dust plus one bag of cement so as to make hollow blocks? And will the hollow blocks still be 35 in number?

I am building and wondering if it's worth making my own blocks

How much water to use to mix 1bag of cement plus 5 wheelbarrows of crusher sand

Hello thanks for making this video, quick question how much money did you need to start the business ?

In Jamaica we use cement sand gravel and water. How much gravel do I add?

Blocks of which size sir

That is assuming the Wheelbarrow is what size? Not all wheelbarrows are the same size.

💪🏿

Wow brother, you jumped around so much 😆 🤣 😂 I don't even know if I'm building a house anymore two bags of cement is a ton then one bag can lay 80 blocks then I can make 70 no no 35 blo... please slow down. Love you bro!

Where in Zambia?

How much water do you need for 1bag of cement and 5 wheelbarrow of sand,

What size of block are you talking about? Is it 9 inches or 6 inches blocks?

I am from Zambia and am about to start up my own block business but been trying to figure out how to calculate my profits and loses.. what mixture and what external factor to consider. If you could help me on this I would be very grateful
