Business Research on African Roof Tile Manufacturing

I’m looking for someone in Africa (any country) to research the roof tile manufacturing business and provide real, on-the-ground information. I prefer someone who can directly contact business owners, factory operators, or craftsmen and gather first-hand insights.

Examples of the type of businesses I’m interested in:

* Very small-scale/manual production (home or workshop based), like:

Automated or semi-automated factory style

The goal is to understand whether this business could be profitable and scalable in Africa.

I need detailed information such as:

* Typical startup costs (machines, materials, workspace, labor, etc.)
* Profit margins and average selling prices
* Production capacity per day/week
* Demand in the local market
* How difficult it is to find customers
* Main competitors and pricing
* Best-selling roof tile types/materials
* Common business challenges
* Availability and cost of raw materials
* Whether small producers can realistically compete with larger factories
* Photos/videos or direct quotes from business owners if possible

Please include in your proposal:

* Your location
* Whether you can contact local businesses directly (phone or in-person)
* If you have experience with market/business research
* Estimated timeline
* What information sources you would use
* Examples of similar research work you’ve done (if any)

Bonus if you:

* Have experience in construction/manufacturing industries
* Can visit factories/workshops in person

This is initially a research project, but it could lead to long-term cooperation if the information is valuable and we decide to start that business.
