Poland - never again [593]
The price goes down by degrees every 4 months until there is some sort of interest.
I Just love people who's buckets are always half empty,
Did you not hear the kids idea about a cement plant,, that's what registered with me, I guess your brain went into lets find lots of reasons for him to fail.
He has a great Idea, Given research is carried out on local zoning planning and current planning applications over a 15km radius and a potential for build over at least ten years.
land is on a flood plain near the river could flood .... great.
Concrete blending silos are on stilts , at least the height of any mixer truck, so apart from a temporary close of business he wont't be put out of business.
Cabins pumping equipment etc would need to be raised above the possible flood plain height.
Apart from the dry mix ingredients his main cost will be water, but being close to the river he can apply for a licence to extract the water, by tanker if needs be, thus negating the need and huge cost of having a dedicated large bore pipe from the nearest high pressure water main.
If he is also downstream or of the local water processing plant he would still be in business when there are water restrictions.
Don't forget his competitors are on land with a short term lease because once the building is over there is no business.
Given the water and his land ownership edge his product would be cheaper than the competition (Due diligence is required to prove this).
If I wasn't retired I would PM him and put up the capital costs for all the equipment and trucks with profit on a 50/50 basis ( subject to survey and diligence)
He aint dumb,
Dumb asses end up driving the concrete mixers.
Need a good paying drivers job Doug?
