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.

2 PROJECT PROFILE
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.
2. 1 Project Brief
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 also
very 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 schools
and 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.
2. 2 Opportunity Rationale
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 is
population 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.
2. 6 Production Capacity
The financial statements for this project are based on the production of 900 tiles/ day.
However, the project can be initiated with the production of 300 tiles / day in smaller
towns and other areas where the demand is comparatively lower.
2. 7 Project Investment
The total project investment is Rs. 2.47 Million which includes Capital Cost of Rs. 2.31
Million and Working Capital of Rs. 0.16 Million. The project is assumed to be financed
through 60% equity and 40 % debt basis.
2. 9 Suitable Location
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 buildings
or 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.
Infrastructure Requirements
Road
Electricity
Water
Establishment of the unit in areas where basic infrastructure including water and
electricity are available.
There are great fluctuations in the cost of raw materials; therefore, the business must
be efficiently managed.
With small amount of training the efficiency of that staff can be increased.
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 unskilled
workers.4

ILO , Committee on Sectoral and Technical Meetings and Related Issues, March 2009
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.
3. 1 National Industry
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.
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 downturn
it 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 million
investment 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.

4 MARKET ANALYSIS
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 schools
and 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
5
Economic Survey of Pakistan 2009-10
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, price
and quality of tiles.
4. 1 Marketing Channels
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.
4. 2 Marketing Constraints
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.
4. 3 Price structure
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.
5. 2 Molds
The molds can be made of wood or metal, for this project it is proposed that metallic
molds are used since they are much more durable and long lasting as compared to
wooden molds. One mold consists of two tiles placed side by side.
5. 3 Basic Raw Materials
Cement
Sand
Crushed Stone
Stone Powder
Iron Wire
Water
5. 4 Production Process Flow
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.
Step 2: Mixing
(Day 1)
Step 3: Molding
(Day 1)
The following steps describe the production of lightweight roofing tiles in detail.
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.
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.
7. 1 Recommended Mode
The project can be started on purchased or leased land depending upon the price of the
land. Since price of land in the suburbs of cities and in rural districts of Balochistan is not
very high the land is assumed to be purchased for this purpose. For smaller production
capacity however, it is recommended to start the project on leased land.
