For its development, research methodologies were used, including qualitative and quantitative as well as field and documentary research. In addition, the following studies were carried out: a market study for which it was necessary to apply surveys to the population of the parish of San Juan to determine the demand, supply, and unsatisfied demand for construction materials. The technical study determined the type of machinery, equipment, furniture, and fixtures to be acquired, the macro and micro-location, the size of the plant, and the description of processes. The administrative study established the legal framework, mission, vision, corporate values, policies, and the structural and functional organization chart. Finally, a financial study was conducted to determine the initial investment, the income statement, and cash flow, which allowed the calculation of the indicators. The initial investment required is $ 30782.93.
