construction equipment
Viktoria asked:


Hello,
in my marketing class we have to invent our own company and write a marketing plan about it, so I decided to open a construction company. But I have a couple of questions about it:

How long does it take to build a house?
How many people do I need?
How much do I need to pay them?
What kind of equipment do I need?
How much does the equipment cost and can I just rent it at first?
What resources do I need and how much do they cost?

Thanks a lot for your answers!

I’ve already checked into costs. Total start up costs (lease, construction, signage, equipment, uniforms, training, product, so on and so on) was anywhere between $250,000 (low) and nearly half-million (high).

How could we get money to start up a franchise? Where could we get grants or other assistance?

Any info you got can help.

heavy machinery
kingco77 asked:


I am an dirtwork contractor that is also in used heavy equipment (dump trucks,dozers,tractors,etc.) sales. I have heard that there is a good market in Mexico for older machinery due to the lack of current technology. I am interested in finding out more about this in order to find a new market, as well as use this for a chance to be able to visit Mexico and make monye at the same time. I constantly see Meicans towing older vehicles down the interstate to Mexico. I would also like to know what the equipment would bring there compared to here. If there are any other ideas as to what I could do to be able to visit the country and make money at the same time along these similar lines they would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you, King
