	Consulting Help with your Plant Purchases    Looking to buy a used asphalt plant?  Yes, I can help you. However, I should mention that I am not a plant broker. Plant brokers simply find you a plant, tack on 8% to 10% to the price, then sell you the thing. After that, they contact companies like mine to help you get it running.   Here at C.M. Consulting, we operate a little bit differently. First, we find out what you need, what you can afford, what the state requirements are for your area and what the EPA requirements are. Then we look through our inventory of 'owner direct' used plants to see if any of these would meet your needs. If so, we send you pictures and a description of the plant. If you are interested, we give you the owner's name and number and you call them to work out whatever deal you can. We make money off the deal only if you hire our company to help you set the plant up and train your operator.   If a used plant does not fit your needs, we go to our extensive contacts among the new plant manufacturers. We then negotiate on your behalf to get you the correct equipment at the best price possible. If you are interested in their proposal, we put you in touch with the highest ranking individual we know in that company (in several cases it will be the owner). You, again, will negotiate your best direct price, cutting out the middle men and saving around 10%. As before, we make money off the deal only if you ask the manufacturer to hire our company to help you set the plant up and train your operator.   As you can see, we are a different kind of company, unique in the industry. We have extensive experience with many of the manufacturers, having installed new plants for many of them in some very exotic locations. I, personally, have been to 85 countries on 6 continents in the last 10 years.   I would suggest that your first goal should be to obtain the “conditional use” permit necessary to operate an asphalt plant on your existing property. At the same time you should contact the local air quality authority and apply for a “source permit”. This rather ominous sounding item is simply a permit to pollute-- albeit in a limited and regulated manner. Next, you should contact whatever cities, counties and state entities that you hope to sell to and get a copy of their asphalt plant regulations. I do not charge anyone for phone consultations, so please call if I can be of any help.
