Kings tile
Specializes in the construction industry. Benin Concept has based its success on the roof. One way to avoid the tile
"I could have made imports and exports, as everyone but the construction industry (Building and public works). With his training as a mason (at heart), Dominique Sagbo manager Benin concept repeated desire that BTP is a profession that requires finesse, since the laying of the first concrete block to installing the last tile. The tile is his business. "Tiles in vibro-mortar, it is unclear. Without asbestos. These tiles are used for more than two decades in the world. Consisting of gravel, sand, cement and iron oxide, they can use up to 98% local raw materials. Appropriate technology, since it allows creating jobs in the field.
Benin's adventure concept, the company Sagbo Dominique and his brother, Leonard Padonou began in 1993. Registered with a capital of 500 000 FCFA, the company limited liability company (LLC) is operated in Paris by Dominique who is responsible for sending the mailings to win contracts and monitor the technological evolution of the construction trades. In Cotonou, Padonou Leonard's brother, Dominic provides technical direction.
The project was born as a flashback. "The quarantine was approaching, said Dominique Sabgbo, and I worked like crazy." Seventeen hours a day in a restaurant that I had created with friends. "The cement, and roofing parpains remain an obsession for Benin which was already twenty years of experience in the building.
"With the democratization of political life in Benin, I thought it was now or never return home. "Dominique Sagbo up his sleeves and go back to his first love: the building. Working weekends and holidays, employees earn leave that enable to travel to Benin eight days every month.
"I did a market survey in Benin and Togo to see what types of roofing were used." Corrugated sheets, concrete or clay tiles, nothing very convincing Sogbo Dominique, who remembers a vibro-tile grout than using a friend mason installed in Cote d'Ivoire. "The materials commonly used for roofing are too expensive as imported or as little insulating sheet.
found remained essential idea: find and train workers. Because the manufacture and installation of vibro-tile grout require appropriate technical staff. Investment departure is significant. "pendants year and a half, friends and journeyperson de France (a brotherhood of craftsmen) came to help me train volunteer workers". Sagbo Dominique has spent 12 million CFA francs to worker training and equipment purchases. At the finish: tiles available in several colors, certified ISO 9002 and ISO 9003 with a lifespan of more than fifty years.
Ten workers employed Benin Concept and everyone eager to show his skills. Versatile workers, trained to the required quality and safety of Benin Concept. Today each of them pocketing a percentage of each site removed. "Upon completion of training, we won our first contract: a small maternity managed by a nongovernmental organization."
Benin Concept works with architectural firms that have the same quality: the control is permanent from the beginning to the end of production. Dominique Sagbo will even ask their clients coming regularly on site. "When you build a house, one must understand how each element was made." And when the roof is finished, the client attends to all the tests and sign a release. The site manager may be called for any problem. Techinques checks are made twice a year. "Customers are satisfied and workers are proud of a job well done."
Benin Concept reinvests most of its gains in the purchase of equipment and the new fad of Freemasons ": the creation of a carpenter. We want to make our frames, doors, hinges and why not? furniture "concludes Dominique Sagbo." An African aesthetic for clients who appreciate the skills of local artisans.
