As a simplified example: If your total cost to produce a standard stock brick (materials, labour, power, machine depreciation) is R 3.50 and you sell it for R 5.00, your gross profit is R 1.50 per brick. A small semi-automatic machine producing 2,000 bricks per day could thus generate a gross profit of R 3,000 per day, before overheads like rent, admin, and marketing. Market demand, operational efficiency, and cost control are key.\">\nProfitability is highly variable.
