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:
- Capital Startup Costs - construction
- Materials Costs - construction
- Design Costs - construction
- 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.
