During the construction of houses of any type, all important communications, including ventilation, are created. That is why the production of air ducts and ventilation is a rather profitable and demanded business, which, if properly organized, can become a stable source of income, regardless of the time of year. There are many factors that affect production. In particular, all air ducts and ventilation vary in the type of housing, in terms of stiffness, in the materials from which they are made. To find your niche, you need to carefully study the market for demand, offers, customer wishes and the most popular types of products.

Business investment

Any business starts with start-up capital. Duct production is no exception. At the same time, the costs are quite high, but pay off quickly. First of all, you need to draw up all the documents and find a room. This type of business requires a large area, because the equipment is large-scale. In addition, the warehouse should fit a warehouse for finished products, a warehouse for consumables, as well as utility rooms for workers. By the way, the staff should be at least 15 people (including a cleaner, directors, workers on the lines). Workers must be skilled and experienced. At first, you will not have time for staff training, which means that he should be prepared already at the time of hiring. The monthly salary depends on the region where your factory is located.

In total, the production of air ducts (premises + documentation) will take about 100-150 thousand rubles. But this is not the biggest investment. Most of the funds will be spent on the arrangement of workshops. There are several different types of ventilation and ducts. In order to decide which particular devices to purchase, you need to decide which type you will produce. If there are enough funds, then you can organize several workshops, increasing the range of products. Costs at the initial stage grow, but payback and profitability do not suffer from this.

It is worth knowing that the manufacture of air ducts can be organized in different ways. If you produce flexible ventilation, then you should find buyers in advance, because this type is less popular, but more expensive and more expensive. Hard ones are very popular, easier to manufacture and cheaper in cost. Each type requires its own equipment.

It is better to purchase equipment for the production of air ducts from domestic manufacturers, because at the output you will receive products that meet the state standards. Foreign is more expensive to maintain, requires certain skills in work, does not always fit the state standards of the country. At the cost of the apparatus, it can take from 40 to 100 thousand American rubles, depending on what type of work lines you choose.

All ducts can be divided in shape. Round ones are easier to manufacture, usually more in demand. Square is more difficult to produce, the demand for them is slightly lower. Other factors affect strength and durability: stiffness and cross-sectional area. All these factors should be considered when purchasing lines in the workshop.

In any case, any line includes:

1. apparatus unwinding sheets of consumables;
2. sheet feeder;
3. the apparatus that corrects the sheet (the shape must be perfect, otherwise the ventilation will buzz and make noise with a strong air flow);
4. a knife that cuts off the finished ventilation pipe by the type of a guillotine.

When purchasing two production lines, you get several types of products that are more likely to bring income.

In addition, you will need reliable suppliers of supplies. Without it, your production will be idle. The manufacture of air ducts as a whole will cost about 3.5-4 million rubles (to the maximum).

Revenues, profitability, payback

With properly organized production, payback will come sooner than a year from the opening. It is important that all your products are of high quality. Wholesale buyers can be found among large construction companies, with which most often a long-term cooperation agreement is concluded.

The manufacture of ducts for profitability is about 60-70%. This is a worthy result, at a relatively low cost for such a large-scale and powerful production. Net profit per month can be earned from 200 to 400 thousand rubles.

As in any business, there is room to grow. So, you can additionally organize a workshop for the production of small elements (brackets, mounts, nipples, etc.). Costs are minimal. As a consumable, leftovers and scraps from the production of ventilation will go, and the apparatus for manufacturing will cost 40-50 thousand rubles.

In the future, production can be expanded by providing services for the installation of its products to customers (without intermediaries). This is an additional source of income.

The competition in the manufacture of ventilation is not too great, but nevertheless, there is a place to be. In order for your business to be profitable, you need to study your competitors in advance, betting on what they do not produce. If your production coincides, then you should bet on the price. Lower price - more buyers (market law).

Pros and Cons of a Business

The manufacture of air ducts, although costly, but profitable. The advantage is that this type of business will always be in demand. Houses are being built every year more and more. In addition, during overhauls, many often change communication systems. The business is not seasonal, because it is possible to organize deliveries to other regions. Another plus is the fact that the annual profit covers all costs, the payback is high.

Of the shortcomings, however:

1. Competition (in each region, these issues need to be clarified);
2. Relatively high costs;

Starting to draw up a business plan, carefully study all aspects of the business. In this type of production there are many nuances and features that need to be considered in advance.
