Just finishing up on my tower I have been working on for the past 45 days:
Hole (4x4x9') $300
Concrete, 7 yards $1400 (includes the cost of the pump truck to pump
it 75' to back yard.
Rebar $300
Did all the rest of the work myself.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Tower installation
I have purchased a US Tower TX-472(72') crank up tower. I am now
looking at having someone do the installation. Specifically, dig the
hole, fabricate the rebar, install the rebar and pour the
concrete(approx. 4 - 5 cu. yards) and lift the tower into place. Has
anyone had work like this done and what is the ballpark for such a job?
There is nothing special about the istallation, or location, or
accessability, and also no guy wires needed. Basically just a slab and
drop the tower on it. I have already pulled all required permits. I
have already received one quote which seems a little high( 2.5 times
cost of tower). I don't mind paying and figured the install would run
about the same cost as the tower or so, however, I don't like getting
taken as this quote seemed high? Looking for advice.
Thanks,
Bill
