You can start a part time concrete blockmaking business in your garage or backyard by using hand molds tomake your blocks. One person using molds can make 100 cement blocks daily quite eaily.Details on how to do this are available through our website concrete blocks.
This is the simple and inexpensive way to start your concrete block business and is how many people get a start in this profitable line of work.Your business will increase in time and when you need more production the best way to go is to get a concrete block making machine. Concrete block machinesare made by a number of manufacturers. They are unfortunately fairly expensive since most of them are made overseas.

The machine is built from new or used auto parts and will turn out 800 concrete blocks per day. This machine works every bit as well as commercialmachines costingthousands of dollars but you can build it for probably just a few hundred dollars or even less if you use used parts.Full information is available at our website make concrete blocks.
The demand for concrete blocks will never end since they area staple of the construction business. ?they are used to build everything from big multi storey buildings down to small backyard barbeques.

Youn Can Do Small Concrete Jobs
It is not unusual for someone in the concrete block making business to be asked to do various kinds of small concrete jobs for customers. This is actually a very good source of some extra revenue. Ready Mix concrete which is sold in bags is the fast and easy way to do this work. You just have to add water to the dry concrete mix and you will have top quality concrete which can be used to do any job. You can, if you wish, mix the concrete from scratch but it is simply not worthwhile for a small job. The only possible error you can make with the use of dry concrete mixes is to add too much water. If you do this accidentally, which will happen occasionally, just add additional dry mix to correct the problem.
The tools you will require for this work are a pointed trowel, a wooden float and a rectangular finishing trowel. When you are making repairs on concrete there are certain rules which it is necessary to follow. All loose material must first be removed. Cracks in the concrete should be chiselled out so that they are wider at the bottom than at the top. This "keys" in the repair material so that it will not break loose. Before pouring the concrete into a crack, saturate the old work with water. This will prevent the water from being leeched out of the new concrete.
Concrete uses water to initiate a chemical reaction which causes the cement particles to bind onto the sand and gravel in order to form a solid rock like mass.
Lack of sufficient water will make a weak crumbly concrete that will very soon deteriorate and have to be replaced. Too much water is also a bad thing as it floats away the cement particles from the sand and gravel.
Pre-made mortar mixes are the best solution for building a fireplace,barbeque or the foundation for a small building. The correct proportions of sand,cement and lime in these premixed bags gives a consistent color and quality of work.

As a concrete block manufacturer you are making concrete products which are always in demand. You are not making here today gone tomorrow widgets which become a craze for a short time then die out. Cinder blocks will always be in demand as long as building is going on.
A small concrete block manufacturing business has many advantages over a large company. Overhead costs can be kept very low for one man working from home. This results in very competitive pricing for your concrete products.A distant manufacturer will have high transportation costs in delivering to your area. Cement blocks are heavy and bulky making them costly to transport.As a local masnufacturer you have no such costs.

Concrete Block Products
When you start out as a concrete block manufacturer you will concentrate on making standard concrete blocks as used for building block walls or a block concrete foundation for a building. As you get further into the concrete products business you will expand into making a number of different types of concrete block products.
Concrete bricks of standard brick size are quite widely used and can be easily made. Decorative concrete blocks of various styles are in strong demand for building block concrete walls and dividers. Concrete patio slabs are always a strong seller.You can wholesale concrete blocks to building supply stores or retail them directly to the consumer.Either way you will do very well with your low overhead costs.
Homes with block concrete foundations are very common and this is a great market for your concrete precast blocks.A block machine is your best asset for volume production which keeps labor costs down and enables you to quote the best concrete block prices.

Make concrete And Concrete Blocks
The recipe for making concrete is very simple. The ingredients are Portland cement,sand,gravel and water. Sand and gravel are referred to as aggregates. Sometimes other aggregates such as crushed stone or cinders are used.
When Portland cement is mixed with water a chemical reaction takes place which makes the cement harden. In doing so it binds together the sand and gravel mixed with it to become one solid rocklike mass.
Many varieties of cement are made of which five are commonly used and available at most suppliers.
STANDARD CEMENT. This is ordinary grey cement. Used for all general construction. If you don't specify otherwise this is what you will get when you buy cement.
WHITE CEMENT. Similar in all properties to standard cement except that it is white in color. Used to mix light colored concrete and mortar and for making colored cement.
HIGH EARLY STRENGTH CEMENT. Hardens and develops strength much faster than standard cement. Allows quick use of driveways and walks.
AIR ENTRAINED CEMENT. This is not as strong as standard cement but has high resistance to frost and salt. Useful where salt is applied for ice and snow removal.
MASONRY CEMENT. A special mixture for use with sand to make mortar. Has more plasticity,water retention and ease of handling.
The type of concrete mix is expressed by three numbers such as 1:2:4 which means 1 part cement, 2 parts sand and 4 parts gravel or stone. To make good concrete you must measure ingredients accurately.
If you don't want to mix your own you can buy,at somewhat higher cost,prepackaged mixes. These contain the right proportion of ingredients to which you only need to add water.
Concrete can be mixed by hand on a plywood sheet at least 4 by 6 feet. It can also be mixed on a
concrete sidewalk or driveway. Mix the cement and sand till completely blended then add the gravel and mix till coated with cement. Make a crater in the middle of the pile and pour in about half the measured amount of water. Rake the sides of the pile up and into the water. When all the water is absorbed make a new crater and add the rest of the water.
Mixing large amounts of concrete by hand is hard work. It is better to buy or rent a concrete mixer if you need a lot of concrete. These instructions for how to make concrete are very simple and will provide you with good concrete.
You can also make your own concrete blocks using hand made molds. This is a great home business opportunity. Concrete blocks are always in strong demand everywhere and you can have a home part time business supplying them to building supply stores or directly to consumers.
Working from your garage your costs are very low and you can turn out a quality product at a very competitive price. When you reach the stage of needing increased production you can build a concrete block making machine from auto parts and sheet metal
This home built concrete block machine can turn out 800 or more blocks per day and is every bit as good as a commercial model which costs thousands of dollars. Plans and instructions for making the machine and the hand molds are readily available.
