Introduction to SMEDA

The Small and Medium Enterprise Development Authority (SMEDA) was established with

the objective to provide fresh impetus to the economy through the launch of an aggressive

SME support program.1i

Since its inception in October 1998, SMEDA had adopted a sectoral SME development

approach. A few priority sectors were selected on the criterion of SME presence. In depth

research was conducted and comprehensive development plans were formulated after

identification of impediments and retardants. The all-encompassing sectoral development

strategy involved recommending changes in the regulatory environment by taking into

consideration other important aspects including financial aspects, niche marketing,

technology upgradation and human resource development.

SMEDA has so far successfully formulated strategies for sectors including, fruits and

vegetables, marble and granite, gems and jewelry, marine fisheries, leather and footwear,

textiles, surgical instruments, urban transport and dairy. Whereas the task of SME

development at a broader scale still requires more coverage and enhanced reach in terms of

SMEDA’s areas of operation.

Along with the sectoral focus a broad spectrum of business development services are also

offered to the SMEs by SMEDA. These services include identification of viable business

opportunities for potential SME investors. In order to facilitate these investors, SMEDA

provides business guidance through its help desk services as well as development of project

specific documents. These documents consist of information required to make well-

researched investment decisions. Pre-feasibility studies and business plan development are

some of the services provided to enhance the capacity of individual SMEs to exploit viable

business opportunities in a better way. This document is in the continuation of this effort to

enable potential investors to make well-informed investment decisions.

The objective of the pre-feasibility study is primarily to facilitate potential entrepreneurs in project identification for investment. The project pre-feasibility may form the basis of an important investment decision and in order to serve this objective, the document/study covers various aspects of project concept development, start-up, and production, finance and business management.

22 PPRROOJJEECCTT PPRROOFFIILLEE

The proposed project is about establishment of a manufacturing facility for production of light weight roof tiles in the adjoining areas of cities and major towns. The document highlights all the marketing, management, and financial aspects required for the establishment and successful running of the project.

22..11 PPrroojjeecctt BBrriieeff

Roof is a very important part of any construction and it comes in many shapes and sizes.There are a wide variety of roofing materials that are used in construction today with a range of advantages and disadvantages. The choice of roof depends upon a number of factors, including the location, climate, desired look, maintenance and cost. In addition the easy/simple installation of the roofs and the durability of the roofing material are alsovery important considerations.

In addition to reinforced concrete roof, other more economic roofing materials include metal sheets, wood, clay and tiles etc. Roofing tiles are one of the preferred construction materials for low cost housing and commercial constructions (warehouses, factories etc.). These tiles can be made of clay brick (e.g., clay fired at a high temperature) or fabricated from concrete.

The proposed project is related to the production of pre-fabricated concrete roofing tiles. The tiles can be designed in a way to achieve high performance in wide range of roof requirements such as converting flat roofs to pitched roofs, construction of housing, community centers, warehouses and factories etc. It is also suitable for roofing of schoolsand other public buildings especially in the rural areas.

The lightweight roofing tiles manufacturing unit will fulfill the local housing construction demand of tiles of different sizes and strengths depending upon the individual requirements of the customer. Roofing tiles used in Balochistan are generally available in 12”x12” however, given the customer demand tiles of different specification can also be manufactured.

One of the most basic human needs is shelter, which for most people consists of a few walls and a roof over heads. Providing shelter to every family has also become a major issue for the governments. Being a basic need, the demand for the homes has increased greatly in past two decades. The major cause in increase of demand of housing ispopulation growth and rapid pace of urbanization. In addition, the trend is shifting from joint family system to individual family systems in the urban areas. All of these factors have resulted in major increase in demand for new housing units all over the country.

Roof tiles have gain popularity, especially with the lower income segment of the population, because they are lower in cost as compared to reinforced concrete roofs. Other advantages of tile include durability (compared to wooden/mud roofs), easy installation, easy maintenance and fire safety, as they are non-combustible.

Light weight roofing tiles have a number of uses including public, private, commercial and residential projects and it has well-proven market demand making it a good business opportunity.

22..33 MMaarrkkeett EEnnttrryy TTiimmiinngg

Demand of new housing remains constant throughout the year, however, construction activities slow down in some parts of the country where weather is extremely cold in winters. It is, therefore, recommended to initiate the operations at the end of winters in the colder areas. In other areas the business can be initiated at any time.

22..44 PPrrooppoosseedd BBuussiinneessss LLeeggaall SSttaattuuss

The business can be started as sole proprietorship or partnership basis. Furthermore, comparatively fewer complications are involved in forming, administering and running the sole proprietorship or partnership businesses.

22..55 PPrrooppoosseedd PPrroodduucctt MMiixx

The Proposed project can produce 900 tiles of 12”x12” in one day.

The choice of location depends upon the availability of raw materials and the proximity of target market. The proposed low cost roofing structure is used in single story buildingsor it may also be used in the top floor of a two story building. Demand for such type mainly exists for housing projects in towns and smaller cities. Additionally, in larger cities the low cost roofs are used in suburban housing schemes, ware houses and factories. The production unit can be established in cities and towns of Pakistan where the basic raw materials including cement, sand and water are easily available. Quetta, Mastung, Kalat, Sibi, Pishin, Killa Saifullah and Ziarat etc. are some of the areas recommended for starting such facility in Balochistan.

Construction is a complex sector of the economy, which involves a broad range of stakeholders and has wide ranging linkages with other areas of activity such as manufacturing and the use of materials, energy, finance, labor and equipment. Globally, construction industry is regarded as one of the largest fragmented industry. An estimate of annual global construction output was closer to U.S $ 4.5 trillion in 20042.

The construction industry is also a prime source of employment generation offering job opportunities to millions of unskilled, semi-skilled and skilled work force. The distribution of construction employment is highly different in high-income and low income countries. The high-income countries produce 77 per cent of total construction output with 26 per cent of global employment in construction sector. The rest of the world (comprising low- and middle-income countries) produces only 23 per cent of output but has 74 per cent of employment in this sector3. The share of construction in the labour force varies, from about 5 per cent to 8 per cent in larger developed countries, and up to double-digit figures in some developing countries. The indirect creation of jobs in the sector has been estimated at around two to one. Construction is one of the largest employers worldwide, and a major gateway for new jobseekers, especially for unskilledworkers.4

The construction sector consists of the following areas:

Infrastructure, repair and maintenance Public and private housing Non-residential public property (e.g. hospitals and schools)

Industrial (e.g. factories and processing plant) Commercial construction

Construction sector deals with all economic activities directed to the creation, renovation, repair or extension of fixed assets in the form of buildings, land improvements of an engineering nature. It includes hospitals, schools, townships, offices, houses and other buildings; urban infrastructure (including water supply, sewerage, drainage); highways, roads, ports, railways, airports; power systems; irrigation and agriculture systems; telecommunications etc.

33..11 NNaattiioonnaall IInndduussttrryy

Construction activities and its output is an integral part of a country’s national economy and industrial development. The construction industry is often seen as a driver of economic growth especially in developing countries. The industry can mobilize and effectively utilize local human and material resources in the development and maintenance of housing and infrastructure to promote local employment and improve economic efficiency. Construction makes a noticeable contribution to the economic output of a country; it generates employment and incomes for the people and therefore the effects of changes in the construction industry on the economy occur at all levels and in virtually all aspects of life.

Construction sector is playing an important role in Pakistan’s economy as well and serving as major contributor for economic development of the nation. The industrygenerates employment opportunities for millions of unskilled, semi-skilled and skilled work force. In addition it provides growth impetus to other related sectors through backward and forward linkages.

Although the construction sector had only a 2.07 percent share in GDP in year 2008-09, its share of the employed labor force was disproportionately large at 6.6 percent in the same period. Construction industry had experienced exceptional growth in early 2000s.It grew by a remarkable 24.3 percent in 2006-07. However due to the economic downturnit declined by 5.5 percent in 2007-08 and further declined by 11.2 percent in 2008-09.The industry received this set back as result of reduction in both infrastructure projects and decline in the housing sector. The major cause contributed to the decline was lack of finance and the decline in the property market.

Despite the continued economic downturn the sector showed a positive growth rate of 15.3 percent in 2009-10. It is hoped that the situation will further improve over the next years mainly because a major portion of remittances from the overseas Pakistanis are meant for the property sector. In 2009-10, there has been a decline in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in a number of sectors; yet, construction sector received US$ 86 millioninvestment in the same period5.

In addition the industry itself is moving at a fast pace. New methods, techniques and technology are developing rapidly which means that the costs of construction can be reduced at the same time while improving the quality.

There are different types of roofing options including reinforced concrete structure, clay bricks, metal roof etc. Due to the soaring construction costs, low cost roof option is in high demand in most of the rural and urban areas of the country. The tiles are used in a large number of construction projects including non-traditional/traditional housing, community centers, warehouses, factories etc. It is also suitable for roofing of schoolsand other public buildings especially in the rural areas.

The roof tiles manufacturers are concentrated in different parts of Quetta city including eastern by pass, Airport Road and Double Road. This is a highly unorganized sub sector

of construction, since there are no specific quality standards. The manufacturers use different quantities of raw materials disproportionately in the production of same amount of tiles. Cement and reinforcement wires are two of the priciest raw materials and manufacturers change their quantities/ratio resulting in great variations in the cost, priceand quality of tiles.

44..11 MMaarrkkeettiinngg CChhaannnneellss

The marketing channels are relatively simple in case of prefabricated roof tiles. The tiles are directly sold to the private housing customers. Besides housing sector the tiles are marketed to corporate customers who use them in construction of warehouses, factories,low cost housing projects etc.

44..11..11 TTrraannssppoorrttaattiioonn aanndd PPaacckkaaggiinngg

Concrete roofing does not require any special packaging; however, they must be handled carefully during the transportation. Different means of transportation include trucks,tractor trolleys, Shahzore and pick-ups etc.

44..22 MMaarrkkeettiinngg CCoonnssttrraaiinnttss

The production process of the roof tiles is not highly standardized. Major portion of the cost of tile is attributed to the quantity of cement and number/diameter of reinforcement wire used in a single tile. There are variations in quantity of cement and the number of reinforcement wires used, additionally, the diameter of reinforcement wire is also reduced by some manufactures. This results in great variation in the production cost of single tile. Therefore, it is difficult to compete solely on the basis of price in this sector. The entrepreneur can, however, attain competitive edge in this industry by standardizing the production process. Higher strengths can be produced with the addition of supplementary cement and using good quality of reinforcement wires.

44..33 PPrriiccee ssttrruuccttuurree

The price of the tile largely depends upon the quantities and mix of raw materials used.Price is normally determined by the amount of cement used and number of reinforcement wires used in the tile. Owing to the nature of supply and demand, short-term price fluctuations may also occur.

Some of the factors influencing producer prices are: Amount of Cement used Number of reinforcement wires used Diameter of reinforcement wires

The roofing tiles that are made of cement, sand, gravel mixture which are reinforced with steel wires. The tiles are made in wooden or steel frame, which is placed on an oiled smooth surface. After half-filling the mold with cement sand mixture, six to twelve iron wires are placed in crisscrossed manner. Then the remaining mold is filled up with the mixture. The tiles are left to set down in the mold for one day and after removing from mold they are placed in water for further two days. After removing from water they are left to cure for seven days before they are used in construction.

The following steps describe the production of lightweight roofing tiles in detail.

Step 1: Ordering & Stockpiling the Raw

Raw material required for the production of lightweight roofing tiles i.e. sand, cement, iron wires and gravel will be ordered and stored as per the production requirement.

o It is recommended to store raw materials for one weeks production requirements for efficient running of project and orders fulfillment on time.

Step 2: Mixing

Lightweight roofing tile production begins by mixing aggregates. Sand is pre-washed to remove dirt contaminants. When aggregate are mixed thoroughly water is added to the mixture.

o In the local roof tile industry the mixing is performed manually however for higher production requirements aggregate mixer machine may also be used.

Page 15: SMEDA Light Weight Roof Tiles Manufacturing Unit

Pre-feasibility Study Roof Tiles Manufacturing Unit

BAL-PREF-24/ June, 2010 - 12 -

Step 3: Molding

The mold is lubricated with a thin layer of motor oil and kerosene mixture. It allows the tile to be easily removed from the mold after setting. The lubrication is applied by using paint brush.

o The lubrication is done by used motor oil purchased from motor workshops.

After lubrication the mold is half filled with aggregate mixture. At this point metal wires are placed on the aggregate in a crisscross manner. Six to twelve wires are used depending upon the requirement of the customer. The diameter of wire also varies. After adding the wires the mold is completely filled with aggregate.

When the molds are full, the concrete is compacted and the upper surface is made smooth by using masonry tools.

o The size and design of the mold determines the size and design of the finished tile.

Step 4: De-molding and Setting

The mold containing the wet concrete tile is moved to setting area. Initially, small amount of water is applied to keep the tiles wet. After about one day the tiles are removed from the mold and moved to a water tank where they are kept immersed in water for further two days.

After being removed from the water tank the tiles are kept in ambient temperature for another seven days to become firm.

Step 5: Storage and distribution

The tiles do not require specific storage requirements, they are normally stored in open air. The tiles are inspected for defects before they are sent for shipment.

Major cost of the equipment is attributed to the molds (known as “firma” by the local industry), in addition to the molds the project requires very simple masonry equipment. (Cement mixer is only feasible to be used if the production capacity is in excess of 1,000 tiles / day). The details of required equipment are as follows:
