Our approach to enterprise creation is such that whenever we build out productive capacity, we ask deeply - whether the productive capacity may be replicated by others with low barriers to replication.

This question includes:

  1. Capital Startup Costs - construction
  2. Materials Costs - construction
  3. Design Costs - construction
  4. Capitalization - production facility

Capital Startup - Construction

Capital costs for construction include, in materials costs for building the equipment from open source plans:

  • Tractor with 54hp - $10k
  • Trencher - $1k
  • Backhoe - $1k
  • Cement mixer - $1k
  • CEB press - $4k
  • Soil Pulverizer - $500
  • Dimensional Sawmill - $2k

TOTAL - $19.5k in equipment, and about $2k in equipment after induction furnace and full CNC is available to produce all this equipment from scrap steel.
