Thank you for bringing this factory to our attention. We need it badly, as most cement block factories use the wrong cement with the wrong aggregate ( sand & stone/gravel ), thus creating poor building materials. We need to up our game to meet international best practices approved by ISO- International Organization for Standardization. I will definitely buy from him for my project. Big ups man!👌💥

[@IshmealLamptey]

You're very welcome and i very much agree. We need to manufacture to meet international standards.

Only a Jamaican can present a block factory so easy and relaxing you can fall asleep listening. 🇯🇲 💚

[@mcclaink06]

Yo I cannot stand workers just sitting around and expect to get paid…no drive no vigor.

[@IshmealLamptey]

They had to halt work because of the video. The machines makes a lot of work. So that's why they were sitting down.

[@julanjoy]

And they are also entitled to a break during the working day 😢
