Wood processing (round timber) can be quite a profitable business. At the same time, not so much is required to run such a business. technical means... But for this type of activity to really make a profit, it is necessary to correctly calculate the economic side. For this, a business plan for the band sawmill is developed, taking into account the entire financial part, as well as the payback of the equipment used.
For the processing of round timber, it is not necessary to have powerful industrial equipment at the initial stage. For a start, it is quite enough to have only one band sawmill, for example, Altai 3. Its production capacity at first will be quite enough. It is on the example of this band sawmill that we will carry out economic calculation- business plan for conducting entrepreneurial activity in this direction.
Organizational matters
Starting a business in the field of wood processing should start not with the purchase of equipment, but with organizational issues. To open a sawmill, the business plan must necessarily take into account:
- rental of premises (if you do not have your own);
- hiring workers;
- supply of round timber;
- search for points of sale.
The area of the premises will require a considerable amount, since you will need a work shop where the sawmill will be installed, as well as a warehouse finished products... If you do not have your own, then the rent may turn out to be considerable, and it is impossible to say exactly how much it will cost. Let's assume that the rent of the premises will cost 50,000 rubles.
With regard to hiring workers, at least 2 people are required to work in 1 shift (8 hours). Piecework wages and amounts to 350 rubles. for 1 cubic meter m. edged material. Taking into account the days off, we get 22 work shifts per month.
A contract should be concluded with the supplier of the round timber based on the productivity of the workers and the sawmill itself. 2 people per shift will be able to process wood and get 5 cubic meters. m. of edged material, that is, finished boards (per month - 198 cubic meters. m.). It should be borne in mind that the average yield from raw materials is on average 65%, the rest is sawdust and illiquid stock. Based on this, the supplier must supply at least 305 cubic meters per month. m. round timber.
With regard to sales, the volume of finished products under these conditions is already known and amounts to 198 cubic meters. m. edged material.
Costs, income, profits
Based on all of the above conditions, you can calculate the monthly costs (in rubles):
- The cost of round timber is 2500/1 cubic meters. m. A month requires 305 cubic meters. m. of raw materials (as a result - 762,500);
- Email costs energy at a price of 4.25 rubles / kW in a monthly calculation will amount to 8505 rubles. Here, the calculation is carried out based on the power of the sawmill motor (11.37 kW * h), the number of shifts (22) and their duration (8 hours);
- It will take 69,300 to pay the workers (the monthly output of edged material is 198 cubic meters, for each of which the workers need to pay 350 rubles);
- Premises rental (conditionally - 50,000);
As a result, the total monthly expenses will amount to 890,305 rubles. To this should also be added the costs of contingencies. Usually these funds do not exceed 10% of the total expenses. Therefore, the final amount of expenses for the month will be 979,336 rubles.
Obtained as a result of processing 198 cubic meters. m. of edged material can be sold at a price of 6,000 rubles / 1 cubic meter. m. That is, the monthly income will be 1,188,000 rubles. After calculating the profitability of the sawmill, which is the main point of the business plan, we get 208 664 rubles. net profit.
Equipment costs, its payback
Now about the equipment, tools and consumables. So, the sawmill Altai 3 was taken as a model in the business plan, the price of which is 165,000 rubles. In addition to it, you will also need (price in rubles):
- sharpening device (24,000);
- diverter device (7,000);
- band saws 10 pcs. (1 pc. - 800).
Total costs for technical part will amount to 204,000 rubles. Knowing the received monthly profit, you can easily calculate that the Altai 3 sawmill will pay off together with consumables and tools in just 1 month (when working in 1 shift) and in 2 weeks (when working in 2 shifts).
Of course, the amount of costs and benefits can vary depending on the market, but in general, as the above shows ready-made business plan sawmills, this type of activity will be profitable.
The use of wood in various industries construction becomes more and more popular every year. The reason is the fashion for environmentally friendly materials. The number of developers using high-quality timber in the construction of cottages, country houses, for interior decoration, is constantly increasing. Furniture, windows, doors, natural wood products are always in demand.
The opening of the sawmill for the production of sawn timber required by consumers will good option investment of funds. A business related to the woodworking industry will be profitable both in the years of economic growth and in times of crisis. Of course, income will decrease, but the products will remain in demand.
Where to begin
Before you open the sawmill, check with the regional administration if it is possible to obtain a permit for deforestation in the area you are interested in. Check if there are plans to introduce such bans in the future. Future restrictions on cutting wood in your chosen forest area can significantly undermine the position of a stable operating enterprise.
Make a business plan for your sawmill. You need:
- estimate the timber reserves in the area allowed for development;
- designate sales markets, calculate their capacity;
- identify the maximum possible number of potential buyers;
- find out the costs of buying or renting premises;
- clarify the list of equipment required to start the sawmill;
- determine the expected volume of work and the number of employees, with their level of wages;
- calculate the cost of renting or purchasing equipment for the transportation of raw materials and finished products.
Find out if there are competitors in this region engaged in wood processing, manufacturing of finished products and semi-finished products. Estimate their market share. Consider how you can attract buyers: product quality, reasonable price, large volumes, favorable conditions delivery, etc.
Business investment reaches 2–2.5 million rubles. It is important to calculate all the risks and prospects for business development in the selected region. The right strategy will allow you to recoup your expenses in a year if you can short term to develop a circle of sawn timber consumers.
Client search
High-quality sawn timber is needed:
- factories producing windows and doors;
- furniture factories;
- companies that manufacture products from natural wood;
- large construction stores;
- wholesale warehouses and building materials bases;
- house-building organizations;
- private developers.
Look for business partners at exhibitions of products of the woodworking industry, contact directly with representatives of potential customers. Submit information about your sawmill in print media region.
Company registration
The organizational form of your company can be any: or a legal entity (most often). Some buyers want to deal with legal entity, for others this question is not so important.
Necessarily:
- prepare a package of documents;
- register with local authorities;
- register with the tax office, in all funds;
- open a bank account.
Sawmill room
The choice of location affects the costs of delivering wood to production facilities and shipping products to customers. The closer to the site of felling and to consumers the production facilities are located, the lower are transport costs and production costs.
The selected room should accommodate:
- manufacturing facility;
- repair shops;
- warehouse for raw materials and finished products;
- overpass;
- hangar;
- administrative premises;
- change house for rest and eating by workers;
- sanitary and hygienic area (shower, toilet, changing room).
The minimum area for organizing a business on a sawmill is 500–700 sq. M. Rent is from 70 to 100 thousand rubles. monthly. In the Russian outback, you can find and rent a former sawmill at a price of 1 sq. meters, 30-50% lower than in the central regions. We'll have to invest in bringing the territory into proper form and in the arrangement of access roads. But, you will save on rent and fuel by reducing the distance between the forest and production facilities.
Products
What does the sawmill produce? The enterprise produces:
- timber of various sizes;
- edged board of the first and second grade of various lengths and widths;
- unedged board of the first and second grade;
- pressed wood fuel briquettes;
- pallets, spools for overall ropes.
Pine products are popular. The reason is the relative cheapness and good quality products. Beech, oak, birch, mahogany, etc. are also used.
Equipment
Woodworking machines are purchased by:
- at the manufacturing plant;
- in firms selling machine tools.
The range of products is wider at trade organizations... They often offer discounts and the price may be at the factory level. Check the correctness of the warranty card. The capacity of the units depends on the expected production volumes.
When manufacturing products from dry edged boards, the technological process looks like this:
- unloading of raw materials;
- transferring it to production or to warehouse for storage;
- material processing on woodworking machines;
- transfer of finished products to the warehouse;
- shipment of products to consumers.
This technology is acceptable at the initial stage of the development of your sawmill. As production volumes increase, the assortment list expands, you can switch to using cheap unedged boards. To do this, you will need to purchase optional equipment and revise the technology.
To organize a sawmill business, you will need the following types equipment:
- band sawmill with hydraulic system filing. Experts recommend equipping it with a debarker and an electronic ruler;
- two-saw edge trimming machine;
- multi-saw machine;
- drying chamber;
- packing machine;
- saw sharpening machine.
For loading and unloading operations you need:
- forklift;
- industrial reloader.
Raw materials
You will need wooden logs of various diameters. To correctly calculate the costs and the estimated profit, keep in mind that the finished product yield from one cube of wood is about 50%.
Use only quality raw materials. Products from edged boards of high humidity during operation can warp, crack as they dry. Attract customers high quality products.
Staff
For quick setup technological process and the selection of the necessary equipment, take on leadership positions only persons with higher education work experience in the field of woodworking. If you own necessary knowledge and skills, the process of organizing the work of the sawmill and monitoring the activities of subordinates will be significantly simplified.
Hire:
- administrator;
- machine operators with the qualification "Woodworking";
- handymen;
- locksmiths-repairmen;
- loader driver;
- truck driver;
- watchman.
Install piecework payment labor. This will stimulate the production of more products.
Financial side
Opening the sawmill will cost you 2–2.5 million rubles. Most of funds will be spent on the purchase of equipment - about 2 million rubles. Buy new machines and units so as not to spend money on repairs and spare parts for worn out equipment.
Welcome to the business and finance magazine "Rabota-Tam".
The sale of lumber is a fairly profitable business. A stable high income will ensure even a small production, providing treated wood domestic market... Before opening a workshop, it is necessary to draw up a business plan for opening a sawmill, which will take into account all organizational nuances.
The management algorithm is always useful: the entrepreneur's own funds are invested in it, does it open co-production on an equity basis.
A ready-made one is required from scratch if the organizer of the case decides to take out a bank loan for opening. None financial institution will not issue a loan without a project submitted for consideration.
Opening any enterprise, especially a manufacturing one, always requires a lot of effort, time and money. "Dirty profit" from one cubic meter of sawn timber will be about 1000 rubles. Net income depends on many factors.
The example of a sawmill business plan given in this article with financial calculations will help a novice entrepreneur to create his own unique project.
- First of all, you need to take care of the production space:
- warehouse for finished products:
- hangar for storing raw materials with an area of at least 600 meters;
- territory that allows the conduct of loading and unloading operations.
- overpass.
- The organization of even a small sawmill business needs large territories... To do this, you can rent any empty structure on the outskirts of the city. As a rule, premises in such places are rented out cheaply and have convenient access for trucks. The rental price is from 70,000 to 85,000 rubles per month.
- Purchase of raw materials for sawmill production:
- raw wood - 1800 - 1900 rubles per cubic meter;
- dead wood - 1200 - 1300 rubles per cubic meter
- The next step is the selection of personnel. To start a business, 10-15 people are quite enough: a manager, sharpeners, frame workers and workers. These should be qualified personnel who know how to handle special equipment and who are familiar with the safety rules.
- In the production of lumber, wages are usually piece-rate, 300 - 400 rubles per cubic meter of finished product.
- Tax
- Description of equipment and special equipment required for the operation of the enterprise is included in the business plan in mandatory... To work with wood, you should purchase:
- circular saw, the cost of which is about 900,000 rubles;
- a multi-saw machine, which has a price of about 160,000 rubles;
- a band sawmill, the price of which is about 130,000 rubles.
Woodworking machines are expensive equipment that requires basic financial investments at the opening of production. But the market for construction equipment and special equipment offers many models of used, in excellent condition, which can be intensively exploited for more than one year. Energy consumption by machine tools - 400 kW.
The total amount required to open the sawmill will be about 3,000,000 rubles.
Range of products
Even the simplest budget sawmill produces a fairly large assortment of sawn timber. In order to determine the products being manufactured, you can take any sample of a sawmill business plan as a basis and choose the best option.
- Boards "container" and "cheese".
- Sleepers.
- Beam and bars.
- Lagging.
- Croaker.
- Cable reels.
- Pallets.
- Dowels (dowels).
- Semi-finished products for furniture production.
- Lining.
The enterprise will be profitable, even if you choose 2-3 options from the whole variety of sawn timber.
Sale value of lumber
One cubic meter of lumber has a price of about 5000 rubles, with delivery.
Companion material is considered a good source of income.
For example, the cost of one pallet ranges from 140 to 160 rubles. An employee can make 25-30 pieces per shift, receiving 25 rubles from each.
An entrepreneur who has opened a sawmill will start receiving a net profit in about a year and a half. A steady increase in income depends on taking into account the needs of customers, both real and potential.
The material discusses the main stages of organizing a sawmill: relevance, assortment, necessary equipment, Feasibility study, calculation of profit and payback.
Houses made of timber or laminated veneer lumber are replacing the old technologies of building from a log house. For frame houses it is necessary a large number of timber of various thicknesses. Wooden blanks are also used to create stairs, roof battens, fences, gazebos, etc. Each newcomer thinks about the environmental friendliness of his home and in apartment building.
The conclusion is simple - the volume of deliveries of wooden blanks (edged and unedged boards, beams, etc.) to carpentry and other woodworking shops will increase. The volume of sales in the wholesale markets is to grow. Therefore, the opening of the sawmill is promising business undertaking.
Range
The supplied range of the sawmill in question will include coniferous (pine) products:
- edged board, length 6 m, width 100mm, 150 mm, 200mm
first grade;
second grade;
- unedged board;
second grade;
- bar different sizes;
- fuel briquettes or pellets.
Buyers, sales
The main manufactured product is dried and packaged sawn timber. It is primarily used:
- in the production of windows and doors;
- in the construction of houses.
The main buyers of sawn timber are:
- wholesale bases, warehouses, large stores;
- furniture shops;
- carpentry shops;
- workshops for the production of laminated veneer lumber (construction of houses from a bar).
Required equipment
The following equipment will be used on the sawmill:
The workshop will require additional equipment for loading and unloading raw materials and finished products.
For unloading and transportation of sawlogs, an industrial loader (reloader) EK-18-51 or other similar equipment is used.
For transportation of finished products, komatsu FG15T-20 or any similar is used.
Machine productivity:
The main raw materials are logs with a diameter of 18 centimeters. After processing 1 m3 of sawlogs, 0.5 m3 of finished product is obtained.
Feasibility study of activities *
* To calculate the performance indicators of the sawmill, all calculations will be made based on 50% of the equipment load:
Capital expenditures
To open a sawmill with a capacity of 352 cubic meters. meters per month, investments of 4.2 million rubles will be required.
* Expenses for renovation and preparation of the premises are not included.
Revenue calculation
The monthly revenue of the sawmill, provided the production is 176 cubic meters. meters (50% of the installed capacity) and the price of 5,000 rubles. for 1 cubic meter will amount to 880 thousand rubles.
Cost calculation
Raw materials (for the production of 1 cubic meter of finished products, 2 cubic meters of raw materials are required). Price for 1 cubic meter meter of raw material (sawlogs) is 1,500 rubles.
Electricity: monthly consumption 8 800 kW.
Calculation of s / s: 352 cubic meters m * 1,500 rubles + 8,800 sq. * 4 rubles = 563 200 rubles.
Total expenses per month
Calculating the profit of a business at a sawmill
RUB 880,000 - 563 00 - 160 000 rubles. = 157,000 rubles.
The return on investment is 22 months. (When calculating the payback, the costs of repairs and preparation of the workshop premises are not taken into account)
To increase the profitability of the activity, you can install additional (eurowood) and equipment for the production of pellets (an increase in profit is formed by processing sawdust into an additional product).

Product description
Our organization plans to manufacture and market the following range of products:
- Timber - from 5000 rubles \ m3
- Edged board - from 5000 rubles \ m3
- Unedged board - from 3500 rubles \ m3
The enterprise will operate in a five-day mode in one eight-hour work shift... The approximate production volume is 330 cubic meters of finished products per month. This corresponds to 15 m3 of edged board per shift (8 hours). The main distribution channels for boards and beams:
- Frequent individuals
- Construction companies
- Wholesale resellers
- Construction Markets
Raw materials (round timber) are planned to be purchased from local logging enterprises at a price of 1.5-2.5 thousand rubles per cubic meter. meter.
Production plan
To organize a sawmill, it is planned to rent a hangar with an area of 500 sq. meters, warehouse - 300 sq. meters and land plot- 500 sq. meters. The total leasable area will be 1,300 sq. meters, with a monthly rent of 150 thousand rubles. The enterprise will be located at a distance of 40 km from a large city with a population of over one million. The considerable distance allows you to get cheaper rental rates and the availability of raw materials. At the same time, potential customer base is close enough to facilitate the marketing of the finished product.
The industrial premises will meet all the requirements for organizing production: sufficient space, availability of water supply and electricity (with a capacity of over 400 kW), convenient access roads.
For the operation of machines (circular saw, band saw, etc.), you will need to employ 3 operators and 5 assistants. Labor remuneration for working personnel - piece-rate, 200 rubles / m3 of finished product. In addition, auxiliary workers (2 people), loaders (4 people), sales manager (1 person), shop manager (1 person) will be hired. It is planned to outsource the services of an accountant.
Which taxation system to choose
An LLC (limited liability company) will be registered as the legal form of the enterprise. The number of founders is 2 people. The taxation system is simplified, 15% of the company's profits.
Financial plan
Let's move on to calculating the main indicators economic efficiency work of a sawmill with a production volume of 330 cubic meters. meters of finished products per month.
Fixed monthly expenses
- Premises rental - 150 thousand rubles. (454 rubles / m3)
- Utility bills (electricity, water supply) - 60 thousand rubles. (181 rubles / m3)
- Advertising - 30 thousand rubles. (90 rubles \ m3)
- Salary (shop manager, loaders, manager, general laborers) + insurance deductions - 160 thousand rubles. (484 rubles / m3)
- Outsourcing (accounting) - 10 thousand rubles. (30 rubles / m3)
- Depreciation - 25 thousand rubles. (75 rubles / m3)
- Other expenses - 50 thousand rubles. (151 rubles / m3)
Variable costs (depending on the volume of production)
- Raw materials (round timber, pine) with delivery - 2000 rubles / m3
- Labor remuneration (operators) - 200 rubles / m3
Hence, the production cost of 1 m3 is 3665 rubles / m3.
How much can you earn on the sale of finished products
The average selling price of edged boards and beams is 5,000 rubles / m3. Profit from the sale of 1 m3 = 5000 - 3665 = 1335 rubles. Less taxes (simplified taxation system, 15% of profit), the net profit will be 1135 rubles. Accordingly, the sale of 330 m3 of finished products per month will make it possible to receive a profit equal to 374,550 rubles. The profitability of the sawmill, according to the calculations of the business plan, is 31%. Taking into account the period for the promotion of the business, the payback of the initial investment will come in 12 - 15 months of work.
Preparation of documents
Experienced businessmen working in this sector of the economy recommend registering an LLC (99% of serious construction companies will never sign contracts with individual entrepreneurs).
In addition to papers confirming the fact of registration and payment of taxes, you must have:
- permits of the fire inspectorate, labor protection authorities and Rospotrebnazor;
- documents confirming the quality of products;
- contracts with suppliers and buyers;
- personnel contracts;
- magazines on labor protection.
In the application for registration of LLC, reports and many other documents, it is necessary to indicate the codes of your activity (according to all-Russian classifier). For the operation of the sawmill, these are OKVED 16.10 (production of wooden lumber and structures) and OKVED 46.73 (trade in wooden boards, beams, etc.).
