*****
A ferrocement industry is most probable in areas of abundant labor motivated to be enthusiastic about being builders of housing in small enterprises. A network of 1 - 5 person businesses which can delay digging and steel work to assist each other with concrete application and other short-term, high-labor tasks can be highly beneficial to infrastructure development. Large corporations will purchase from a broad base of production capacity.
A construction network like this will tend to maintain independence because the return on work value is high. Build one septic tank in free time and the second will be quicker and easier. Set price competitively as-well-as to create good income.
