The distributor places the other half on the market.
Operation

b. On the date and time, the father and perhaps a support son come
c. If it is the first time, the materialist trains them to use the block machine or the reinforcement bench
d. With materials that are at hand in the materialist's inventory, they operate the tooling and produce construction elements
e. At the end of the operation, half of what is produced is taken to their homes and the rest remains in the facilities of the materialist who will offer the product to the market. Option to obtain other materials by barter with the materialist, from what is produced
