A business related to the production of dry mixtures can be suitable for both experienced entrepreneurs and those who have just started their activities. This idea is characterized by a high level of return on investment, as well as relevance in almost all cities of the country. That is why the production of dry construction mixtures is profitable. A business plan, as well as all the necessary documentation for organizing your own enterprise for creating mixtures, can be found already in a ready-made state. However, you can do this yourself.

What needs to be done to properly organize a project?

In order to implement a project to create mixtures, you should become familiar with the technology that is inherent in this type of business activity. You will also need to buy equipment and find regular suppliers of raw materials. After this, it will be possible to begin organizing the production of dry construction mixtures. The business plan should serve as the main documentation.

Advantages of selling finished material

In the construction industry, dry mixes are used almost constantly. You should also understand that you can always purchase ready-made products and simply sell them. Such mixtures have many advantages compared to other materials.

1. Savings both in time and space. There is no need to purchase components, store or mix them
2. Even the most complex components can always be purchased.
3. Money will be saved.

What is needed to organize a business?

Before opening a business, you need to think about all the difficulties that may arise. The main difficulty is to find those people who will buy products from the entrepreneur. In addition, you will need to register your business activity.

However, such a problem is not so difficult to solve. It is worth choosing an LLC as a legal form, since for the most part cooperation will be carried out with legal entities. In order to establish the production of sand of this type, you will need to obtain a certificate from the fire service and permission from the SES.

The payback of entrepreneurial activity will occur after about six months of active work. In some situations, by producing colored sand and other types of dry mixes, entrepreneurs pay for their business in just a few months. Profitability in some cases reaches 150 percent.

What can you say about the equipment?

A typical equipment set includes the following devices: vibrating container, drying oven, small intermediate hopper, working platform, dispenser, receiving hopper, weighing hopper. You will also need a mixer, a lift, an intermediate hopper, a vibrating sieve and a loader.

In that situation, if you decide to start your own business and the production of dry construction mixtures was chosen as the direction, the business plan must be prepared with sufficient quality. It must indicate restrictions from an economic point of view.

In other words, an entrepreneur must take into account the need to purchase a technological line on credit. In addition, you can purchase a ready-made plant for creating mixtures. Currently there are no problems with this.

Key points to consider

It is necessary to take into account some parameters for those who plan to start the production of dry building mixtures. The business plan should reflect such nuances as storing powders, dosing components, drying, grinding, aspiration, packaging, etc. The process of creating products involves the need for high-quality mixing of all components used, both basic and additional. The dosage should be taken into account, as well as the packaging of the final product.

A few words about technology

The production of building mixtures should begin by loading sand onto a special vibrating container. After this, the material is transferred to a drying oven. After processing, the component is transferred to the vibrating screen using a conveyor. After this, the raw material passes into an intermediate hopper, from which it is subsequently loaded into a weighing hopper using a vertical lift.

Creating mixtures also involves the supply of cement, which occurs from a small intermediate bunker through the use of a lift. The addition of additional components, which determine all the main characteristics of the final product, is carried out from the work site.

Then the mixture in its finished state goes into the receiving hopper. After it, the material is sent to the dispenser, which reloads the finished product into special valve bags. When choosing equipment for the production of mixtures, you need to pay all your attention to the volume that the mixer and bunkers have. You will also need to take into account the frequency with which this device rotates and its power.

The main criterion for the competent organization of an enterprise

Many criteria can influence the development of entrepreneurial activity. Therefore, it is quite important to draw up a good business project. Only in such a situation can one hope to make a big profit. And over time, you can expand and start, for example, producing colored crushed stone or other types of building materials.

What economic costs will you face?

However, costs must also be calculated. To buy equipment, you will need to spend about two million rubles. It will cost about 20 thousand per month to rent the premises. Transportation, as well as the purchase of raw materials, will require up to 600 thousand rubles. About one hundred thousand rubles will be spent on employee salaries. By calculating all these amounts, you can get the minimum amount of initial capital.

The development of construction technologies has led to the fact that any work in this area is carried out using building mixtures prepared for a specific type of work. Separately for wall cladding, construction, finishing and more. As practice shows, such differentiation improves the quality of work and its efficiency. Therefore, dry construction mixtures are always in demand during construction work.

Benefits of using dry mixes

In short, the main advantages of using dry mixes are:

1. Significant savings in time and space. There is no need to waste time preparing dry mixtures for specific jobs or storing components at the construction site.
2. Each manufacturer can produce a mixture of any complexity to suit individual customer requests.
3. The material is prepared exactly in the quantity required for a given amount of work. This eliminates the loss of raw materials.
4. Saving on logistics costs - no need to constantly deliver new solution and worry about its quality during transportation.
5. The mixtures are of high quality, since their production technology allows you to strictly adhere to the established recipe.

Types of dry mixtures

Before you start a business, you need to understand it a little. In particular, study what types of dry mixes there are and which of them are most in demand on the market. As already mentioned, the recipe depends on the type of work for which the mixture will be used. Also, the composition of the components varies depending on the requirements for resistance to temperature changes, humidity, strength and other parameters.

The composition of dry mixtures includes the following four main components:

• mineral binders;
• special additives (usually to retain moisture);
• inert fillers;
• polymer binders.

The classification of dry mixtures is based on:

• type of binder filler (with and without cement);
• its dispersion (having coarse grains, up to 2.5 mm or fine grains, up to 0.315 mm);
• purpose of products.

What to build a business with

You need to develop your business by producing the most popular mixtures in your region. It is worth studying in advance what kind of construction work is being carried out in your region, what type of dry mixes is most in demand, and its required volumes. But as a general rule, the most popular material is the following:

• gypsum plasters;
• mounting mixtures;
• various putties;
• compositions for self-leveling floors;
• waterproofing mixtures;
• compositions for cement screed;
• various kinds of adhesives (wallpaper, tiles, facade).

Mixture composition

The components of any mixture are the following three main components:

• binders;
• fillers;
• functional additives.

The characteristics of the final mixture depend on what specific raw materials are taken and what proportions are used. The exact recipe is usually developed separately by each manufacturer and kept secret.

The binders usually used are:

• minerals - gypsum, lime, cement (aluminum, silicate);
• organic derivatives - cellulose ethers that dissolve in water, polymer powder;
• organo-mineral complexes – polymer silicate and polymer cement.

The fillers used are slag, ash, dolomite, quartz, limestone, marble or stone waste.

Functional additives are used depending on the characteristics of the mixture that need to be achieved. Additives can give it special strength, increase drying speed, degree of thickening, moisture resistance, etc.

Production technology

Briefly, the production technology of dry mixtures goes through the following stages:

• preparation and handling of components;
• sifting components;
• loading material into supply bins;
• dosage of raw materials;
• mixing;
• packaging;
• storage.

To be frank, the production technology, despite the variability of the final material, remained the same. The basis of this material is sand and cement. First, sand is poured into the drying drum. There it is periodically scrolled and, as it dries, poured onto a vibrating sieve. Here it is screened into fractions: fine, medium and coarse sand.

As the auger accumulates sand of the required fraction, the automated equipment stops. The sand is loaded into a storage bin, a forklift takes it to a cement storage bin, where all the necessary additional substances are added. The technology involves complete automation of production, so the output material is of high quality. After thorough mixing, the system moves the mixture into a filling hopper and packs it in special paper bags. This completes the technology for producing the mixture. The material is stored for storage or delivered to the customer.

Room

The technological process is simple if you work with special equipment. The market offers a lot of production lines of various configurations. But it is better to decide on them in advance, since the requirements for the premises, which are included in the business plan, depend on this.

If you are building a business from scratch, you can purchase a minimum kit that will take approximately 50 square meters. m and will require a room with a ceiling height of 7 m. A medium-sized business will require an area of ​​at least 120 sq. m. m., of which approximately 50 sq. m is allocated for storage, and the rest for equipment.

The room renovation plan should include the installation of a good exhaust hood, as well as heating, so that the temperature in the room is maintained at approximately 16-18 o C.

Equipment for the production of building mixtures

One of the main issues that your business plan must address is the purchase of equipment. As a rule, a fully equipped production line is purchased immediately. It includes:

• mixer;
• auger and filling hopper;
• lift;
• dispenser;
• drying for sand;
• work site;
• vibrating sieve;
• the auger is automatic.

Separately, the procurement plan must include Euro pallets, tools, commodity and electronic scales.

How much money to include in the spending plan for such a line depends on its configuration and functionality. For example, a line with a capacity of 5 tons of mixture per hour will cost 1.6 million rubles. But the packaging stage is carried out semi-automatically. When purchasing a line with a capacity of 10 tons, its price will also double.

Raw materials

The business plan necessarily includes the costs of purchasing raw materials and paying staff. The most expensive raw materials will be modifying additives. In addition to them, you need to purchase hydrated lime, calcium carbonate, quartz sand, gray and white Portland cement. The cost plan for raw materials should be calculated based on the cost of 10-170 rubles. per kilogram of each component.

Few raw materials are produced in our country. If we are talking about expensive additives, they are not produced at all. The material will have to be purchased abroad, where the production of such raw materials has been going on for decades. But in any case, the technologist must check each batch for the required properties. In addition, it is advisable to require a certificate of conformity from the supplier for each component. You will need them to obtain the appropriate certificate for the final product.

Production personnel

If you plan to work in one shift, it will require the following number of personnel:

• dosing and mixing station worker;
• loader;
• packer;
• master technologist

The work of a technologist is the most expensive, since he develops the composition of the mixtures on which your business will mainly depend. He also decides which suppliers to work with depending on the quality of raw materials they offer.

Sales of finished products

Before you start working to order, you need to develop a client base. To do this, you need to work closely at the initial stage on its formation and search for sales channels.

A sales plan can be formed based on the following sales channels:

• specialized online stores;
• Retail Stores;
• markets;
• construction companies;
• intermediaries.

At first, the equipment will operate at approximately 50% capacity so that the goods do not become stale, since it will be difficult to immediately make a sales plan. Moreover, due to the high competition in the market, entering it will not be easy. Please note that transporting mixtures further than 300 km from the production site is not economically profitable. Therefore, you need to focus on your region.

As practice shows, from about the third month of operation of the enterprise, the production plan can be increased to 12 tons per shift. But such productivity can be achieved if you offer a wide range of products and produce each item in the shortest possible time. Of course, without compromising quality and price.

Sales of goods have some seasonality. Since construction and renovation work subsides from November to March, interest in products also drops noticeably.

Business formalities

The business must be legally registered. It is advisable to choose a form of organization such as an LLC. In this case, you will be able to take large orders from enterprises that usually work only with legal entities.

For the workshop to operate, the premises must be brought into compliance with the standards of the fire inspection and sanitary-epidemiological service. After checking for compliance, they will issue you special certificates.

Product certification

Today the law does not require mandatory certification of this type of product. Whether to receive it or not is voluntary. But if you plan to participate in tenders of large organizations, you simply need such a document. There are two options for getting out of this situation.

You can issue a refusal letter for the goods. This is a document that confirms that this type of product is not subject to certification in accordance with current regulations. But according to market operators, when participating in tenders, preference is given to those who have such certificates.

The entrepreneur himself decides whether to issue a certificate of conformity or not. But we must take into account that this is an additional expense item.

Economic calculation

The expenditure part consists of the following items:

• rental premises - from 18 thousand rubles. per month;
• production line – from 1.6 million rubles;
• logistics – from 200 thousand rubles;
• purchase of raw materials – 400 thousand rubles. (for two months of work);
• wages and other expenses – 100 thousand rubles.

In total, to launch a production line with a capacity of about 12 tons of products per shift, approximately 2.5 million rubles will be required.

The cost of a bag of dry mixture weighing 25 kg is about 60 rubles. 480 of these bags can be produced per shift. That is, you can produce products worth 22 thousand rubles per day. To this amount you need to add 4 thousand rubles. production costs. That is, 26 thousand rubles will be required per day. for the production of goods. The cost of a bag is on average 160 rubles. This means that you can earn 72 thousand rubles per day for 480 bags.

As practice shows, the profitability of such production remains at 150%. If you actively work to find distribution channels, you can return your investment in 3-4 months. On average, the payback period is six months.

Modern dry construction mixtures are ready-made compositions that can be used after preliminary mixing with water.

In this way, ready-made plaster, waterproofing material, adhesives for ceramic tiles or decorative stone (natural or artificial), grout for construction joints and much more are obtained.

Application area

Equipment for the production of dry building mixtures makes it possible to obtain materials whose scope of use is quite extensive:

• installation of structures during construction;
• construction of masonry;
• interior finishing of surfaces (ceilings and walls);
• building cladding;
• production of cast construction products;
• sealing seams and joints that appear during work.

Production methods

The main components of ready-made building mixtures are cement, quartz (or sand), limestone (chalk), and various additives that provide the necessary properties to the finished product. When mixing, it is important to use powdered components, as this ensures a high-quality material.

The equipment itself for the production of dry construction mixtures is low in cost. The advantages also include ease of operation and reliability. The manufacturer can independently choose any manufacturing option he likes. For example:

• focus on the production of small quantities of inexpensive mixtures with a small number of additives;
• to establish high-performance production of dry building compositions using many additional components.

The layout of equipment for the production of dry construction mixtures will be different in each case. Namely, different types of mixers are used, there are differences in the configuration of machines and mechanisms.

What does the production line consist of?

The simplest equipment layout looks like this:

1. Filler with automated feeding system. There is a storage bin nearby for ingredients.
2. Dryer.
3. Mixer. There is also a system that provides weight dosage of components.
4. Dust collector.
5. Filling machine for finished products.

If it is necessary to install a high-performance line, slightly different equipment is selected for the production of dry building mixtures:

1. Containers for storing main ingredients, additives and fillers.
2. A silo equipped with a component supply system. Be sure to provide a system for weight dosage of components.
3. Dryer.
4. Transporters.
5. Mixer.
6. Dust collector.
7. Packing machine.
8. Finished product transportation unit.
9. Automatic equipment control system that regulates the rotation speed of mechanisms and the speed of conveyors.

How does a line for the production of dry building mixtures work?

The sand enters the drying chamber, where, when exposed to high temperatures, it gets rid of excess moisture. The ingredient is then sifted and placed in a storage hopper. At the same time, cement is loaded into a separate receiving container. A third bin is installed for auxiliary materials that act as fillers.

The automatic process control system is based on a mixture preparation recipe, which is entered into the computer in advance. After the main components (sand and cement) have been added, the fillers are measured by hand.

The mixing process is carried out by shafts with blades that rotate inside the mixer and actively move the layers of ingredients. The finished mixture is unloaded into a packaging hopper, where it is distributed into bags or bags. The production process necessarily involves a dust collector, which absorbs the released dust and gases. This makes it possible to improve the working conditions of workers in the workshop.

It is important to note that the equipment is constantly being improved, and this makes it possible to reduce the cost of finished products, increase their output and make working conditions more comfortable and safe.

The production of dry mixtures for construction purposes can become a stable source of income that does not depend on seasonality. Business does not require large investments. All investments in it quickly pay off, since the entrepreneur does not have problems selling products. It is in demand not only by private consumers, but also by business entities specializing in the sale of building materials. What is needed to conduct production activities and what should you pay attention to when organizing it?

Dry mixes

general information

Any type of construction work involves the use of mixtures of special materials. Their use is economically justified and convenient from a practical point of view. Dry building mixtures have the form of powdery and bulk materials, which, when mixed with liquid, form various solutions. Depending on the characteristics of the feedstock, they may have different properties. The compositions are used for waterproofing, gluing, puttying, plastering or for installation.

The raw material does not require much space to store as it is compact in size. To prepare working compositions, it is enough to dilute it with water. The work carried out with their help is completed quickly and is of high quality. Depending on the assigned construction task, mixtures of various recipes are used. The quality of the prepared solution depends on their composition. Its indicators are identified after processing and maintaining the required time for stabilization or for the composition to harden.

Business relevance

The increase in the pace of construction work and the use of modern technologies to support it determines the demand for dry mixtures, since the preparation of the compositions takes minimal time, and their characteristics correspond to the required parameters.

These factors determine the demand for the product, which has become the reason for the prospects and profitability of the business for its production. The use of dry mixtures in construction greatly simplifies the task of builders. They get the opportunity to work with working solutions whose characteristics are ideal for a particular type of activity. And for their production you do not need to create special conditions. Simply place the mixture in a container, add water and mix thoroughly until smooth. All components are taken in accordance with a certain proportionality.

Production scheme

Ready-made solutions cannot be stored for a long time; moreover, large containers and an appropriate area are required for their placement. Compositions from dry mixtures are prepared in quantities necessary to ensure a specific job. They cannot be stored as they must be completely used. Placing powders does not require much space. Their storage is limited only by the period of use of the product. The only condition for preserving the original properties of the mixture and preventing clumping is to ensure dryness in the premises.

Product range

When drawing up a business plan, you should analyze in advance the demand for the product planned for production and draw up its product range, on the basis of which further operations will be planned.

Today, adhesive mixtures for laying tiles and for treating facades are popular. Buyers of compositions for self-leveling floors and cement screeds will quickly be found. Specific, but no less popular products are mounting mixtures, compositions for gypsum plaster, for waterproofing and for all types of putties.

Where to look for product buyers?

When planning the production of dry construction mixtures, you should focus not only on retail consumers, but also on buyers who would make wholesale purchases. Their category includes companies specializing in the provision of repair and construction work. Since their activities are directly related to the purchase of quality materials, the manufacturer should offer cooperation on favorable terms. The slightly reduced price of the product will be compensated by the lack of costs for advertising campaigns and customer searches.

Shops and construction bases can become regular wholesale buyers. To attract them to partnerships, it is recommended to send letters with a business proposal for cooperation. Some time after sending them, it is recommended to call the enterprises in order to remind them about themselves and conduct personal negotiations with management about possible deliveries at competitive prices.

An additional source of income will be sales through the online store. Its buyers will be individuals and business entities with access to worldwide networks and knowledge of the nuances of making purchases via the Internet.

The production of all building mixtures is carried out according to a single algorithm. It provides operations such as:

• preparation of constituent components;
• transshipment of raw materials;
• placement of raw materials in bunkers;
• dosing of starting components;
• mixing;
• package;
• storage

The process technology provides for preliminary drying of the raw material, for which it is loaded into a drying drum. As the particles dry, they are poured onto a vibrating sieve. The device is designed to separate constituent elements into fractions.

Schematic representation of the production line

Only coarse sand is used in production. The process automatically stops when the screw is filled with the required amount. After sand is loaded into the storage hopper, it is fed in small portions into the cement hopper, into which additional substances are added to ensure certain characteristics of the finished product. The resulting mixture is mixed and fed into a filling hopper for packaging in paper bags.

To improve the quality of the finished product and simplify the packaging process, you can purchase additional equipment that provides fluidization of bulk materials, as a result of which they acquire the consistency of a pseudo-liquid. Packaged products are shipped to a warehouse or delivered to the consumer.

Nuances of automation

The production process is automated. The participation of workers in it is minimal, which saves money on labor costs. Operations are controlled by a technologist who, in the software of the production line, configures the appropriate mode for producing the mixture according to a specific recipe. After starting the line, each component is automatically weighed and loaded into the mixer one by one.

The completion of each production stage is accompanied by a light signal displayed on the equipment display. The production line operator monitors all operations and gives permission, upon request from the system, to continue the production process.

The need for an additional structural unit

Appearance of the production line

In order for the finished product to comply with the requirements of regulatory documentation and the parameters declared by the manufacturer, the entrepreneur should provide for laboratory testing of the quality of raw materials and ready-made dry mixtures. Constant laboratory testing of material samples will not be cheap for the entrepreneur, so it is recommended to include a laboratory assistant on the staff, as well as purchase the equipment and reagents necessary for the analysis.

What additives are used

The main components of all construction mixtures are cement and sand.

Depending on the characteristics of the final product, different ratios are taken. To improve the qualities of the composition and to give it the properties necessary to ensure the performance of the relevant types of construction work, various additives are used.

To use the mixture for laying tiles or for self-leveling floors, it is necessary to add surfactants to it, which impart plasticity. Hydrophilizing surfactant additives prevent particles from sticking together, as a result of which thick solutions can be produced with a minimum amount of solvent, which will facilitate the use of the finished composition. Since this type of additive helps slow down hardening, they are combined with hardening accelerators.

Initially, dry cement-sand mixtures were used exclusively for plastering and bricklaying. They were simple in composition and therefore were not particularly flexible, which significantly limited the scope of their use in construction. Technologies gradually improved, which made it possible to significantly improve the quality of building materials through the use of new components in its composition. Modern types of dry construction mixtures are varied in purpose; they include various mineral additives, fillers, and binders, which give the material excellent technological properties.

The proposed business plan for the production of dry building mixtures with calculations involves the creation of a mini-enterprise within the framework of the organizational and legal form of LLC (limited liability company). This choice is due to the fact that other forms impose additional requirements on the founder regarding the nature of the business entity’s activities, the amount of share capital and responsibility. In addition, this form allows you to open representative offices in other localities, both within Russia and abroad.

The production of dry building mixtures does not require licensing, as well as certification and declaration of fire safety products. These certificates can be issued by the enterprise at the request of customers. Since these finishing materials are not listed in the unified list of certified products (approved by the Russian Government Post No. 982), therefore, they do not require confirmation of compliance with safety requirements. The certificate is purchased at the discretion of the founder of the enterprise in order to increase the attractiveness of the product on the market. Self-certification is carried out in the GOST R system, because This procedure is not provided for by the Customs Union documents.

Dry mixtures belong to the category of non-combustible materials (NG group) and are fire and explosion-proof. Their sanitary and radiation-hygienic characteristics are established on the basis of the conclusions of official bodies of the state Sanitary and Epidemiological Supervision.

The safety of the components included in the mixtures is determined by the levels of radioactive substances and sanitary and hygienic characteristics.

Materials must not release harmful components into the environment, the norm of which exceeds the established limits.

Project implementation schedule

The project is financed from the founder’s own funds. When implementing it, the simplified taxation system (STS) is used.

Main taxes paid:

The tax calculation period is a calendar month.

Market analysis

The situation on the domestic market of dry construction mixtures is assessed as stable. The growth rate is about 15% per year, and there is prospect of its increase. This is due, first of all, to the fact that more construction companies are moving to the use of modern technologies based on the latest materials. Although SCCs have been known for several years, their quality and properties in comparison with materials from the beginning of the century are practically incomparable. In Russia, masonry mortars, various adhesives and leveling compounds, putties, heat- and waterproofing composites, sanitary and repair mixtures are actively used in construction. What all these materials have in common is that they are made on the basis of binder components with a variety of modifying additives and reinforcing fillers.

Russian manufacturers have overcome the main drawback of mixtures, which distinguished the material from imported ones - manufacturing them in a “wet” form. This significantly limited the shelf life of the solutions and did not allow builders to correctly observe the proportions when mixing.

Now the bulk of domestic products are manufactured using the technologies of industry pioneers and leading global manufacturers - companies from Germany, Poland, and Finland. The development of these technologies led to the rapid growth of the domestic market, as well as the emergence of many entrepreneurs who saw in this production an opportunity to make a solid profit and ensure high profitability for their enterprise.

In Russia, the volume of consumption of dry construction mixtures per person is 2-3 kg per year. This is tens of times less than in Germany or France, where these figures exceed 25-30 kg. Our main consumers of these products are repair and construction organizations (approximately 75%), individuals are not yet ready for mass consumption of mixtures for their needs.

Among the types of SSS, the most popular are putties, which account for 60% of the consumption segment, followed by universal mixtures and plaster. The demand for self-leveling floors is gradually increasing.

The structure of the domestic CVS ​​market is such that in almost all large populated areas there are dealers of domestic and foreign manufacturers of mixtures, and if we are talking about Russian companies, then they mainly sell their products in the region where they themselves are located.

According to experts, the domestic market in the near future will develop under the sign of the opening of an increasing number of regional production facilities, which will certainly significantly increase competition and create the need to find the most efficient forms of production and sales of products. The costs of their creation will increase, first of all, due to increased costs for logistics and marketing support for the business. You shouldn’t expect players with new product designs to appear on the market in the near future.

Description of the object

The technology for the production of dry building mixtures at a mini-enterprise consists of several stages:

• Selection of raw material suppliers.
• Preparation of components.
• Delivery of raw materials.
• Handling and sifting of materials for the production of SSS.
• Placing components in special supply bins.
• Dosing and mixing of materials.
• Packaging of finished products.
• Warehousing.

The technological process is organized on special equipment - a production line, which includes a set of standard units and mechanisms. For their placement and installation, you will need a room with an area of ​​at least 150-180 square meters. m. To store finished products you will also need a warehouse with an area of ​​80-100 sq. m. m. The production premises are equipped with exhaust ventilation and a heating system that ensures that the temperature is maintained at least 18-20 degrees C.

Enterprise equipment

Production equipment for the production of dry mixtures is purchased as a set that makes up the production line. Line composition:

• Vibrating sieve.
• Mixer.
• Automatic auger.
• Packing bin.
• Drying sand.

The total cost of the production line is approximately 1.6 million rubles. Once the enterprise reaches break-even operating mode, a higher productivity production line (9-10 t/h) is installed, the cost of which is about 3 million rubles.

In addition, for production purposes you must purchase:

• Weighing equipment.
• Watch.
• Specialized tools and equipment.
• Pallets for storing finished products.

All equipment of the enterprise must comply with safety requirements and ensure the manufacture of products according to established quality standards.

Purchase of raw materials

To ensure smooth operation of the enterprise, tenders for the purchase of raw materials are held at the initial stage of project implementation. The company needs to purchase:

These materials will be used to produce the following products:

• Adhesive compositions (facade, tile, wallpaper).
• Gypsum plaster.
• Mounting mixtures.
• Putties (facade, gypsum, cement, finishing).

Staff

The following specialists are recruited to work at the enterprise during the initial period:

• Master technologist.
• Technological line maintenance workers (4 people).
• Mixing and dosing station worker.
• Packer.
• Loader.

The general management of the enterprise's activities is carried out by the founder. Accounting is outsourced.

In total, you will need to allocate about 200 thousand rubles monthly for payroll.

Marketing and advertising

The marketing policy of the enterprise is aimed at forming among consumers the opinion that the products produced have excellent performance characteristics, are priced lower than their main competitors, and that the company is ready to consider any options for long-term cooperation with the provision of significant price preferences.

To this end, the following promotional activities are planned:

• Preparation and publication of messages about the enterprise in local media.
• Development of a targeted advertising scheme by sending letters to specialized construction stores and companies.
• Development of the company’s own website with the ability to order products online.
• Activating consumer demand by developing attractive commercial offers and holding promotions.

The main marketing resource of the enterprise is the high quality of its products, which can be purchased profitably directly from the manufacturer.

Financial plan

The calculation of costs and income of a mini-workshop for the production of dry building mixtures was made on the basis of average prices for products at the beginning of 2017 and the availability of a production line with a capacity of 12 tons of products per work shift (8 hours).

Based on average prices for raw materials and the production capacity of the enterprise of 480 bags per shift, the cost of 1 bag of glue (25 kg) will be 60 rubles. Thus, the replacement cost of production will be equal to 26 thousand rubles (22 thousand - raw materials, plus 4 thousand - production costs). Under such conditions, the enterprise will receive a profit of more than 72 thousand rubles per shift (more than 2 million rubles per month).

Risk assessment

This business plan characterizes the enterprise for the production of dry construction mixtures as meeting the requirements for environmental protection, safety precautions and industrial production standards. According to the developers, the main risk groups for it are:

• Risks associated with contractual terms of suppliers of raw materials and technological equipment.
• Technological risks caused by the purchase of low-quality equipment.
• Market risks associated with increased competition between similar enterprises in the region.
• Risks when selling products associated with a lack of production capacity with a steady increase in demand.

Eventually

Considering that dry building mixtures have significant advantages over other similar materials, the demand for them will constantly increase. Consequently, an enterprise for their production will have high profitability (for this business plan - at least 23%) and great prospects for further development.

The production of dry mixtures is not associated with seasonal fluctuations in demand, so the company will make a profit throughout the year.

Investments in this business at the initial stage are insignificant; the founder’s own funds can be used for this, which eliminates the need to search for investors and attract commercial loans.

Thus, the creation of an enterprise for the production of these building materials is a highly profitable business that allows you to quickly recoup all costs and move into sustainable development mode.
