Steve:
I posted this
http://lists.contesting.com/archives//html/Towertalk/2006-03/msg00168.html
regarding my own 2001 tower project. The costs I listed were for materials
at that time (plus and estimate of renting a crane to stand the tower on its
foundation, which I didn't use.)
Labot might run as follows:
o Excavation - half-day (at $x/hr?)
o Framing of the cap (above ground piece of concrete) two hours
o Placement of concrete - usually included in price of concrete, provided
it doesn't take more than an hour for the driver to reach your excavation
and dump his load.)
Erecton of tower, placement of guys were not part of my self-supporting
tower project, so I have no comment.
Installation of antenna might require a crew of three: one as a ground
crew member and two on the tower. You might get away with two crew if they
had worked together previously and know the job.
Feedline might require two, one at each end of a conduit run, then one
on the tower and one on the ground.
Hope that helps.
