That seems awful cheap to me...I would expect at least $50k or more. A 200' self-supporting tower cost me about $65k and I did all of the leg work. If you have a tower crew, I would expect $15k for labor, $2000 for earthwork, and I don't know the concrete requirements so maybe $1000, $3000-5000

A self supporting tower is more expensive to install sue to base requirements and construction techniques. When I quoted installation pricing I was quoting concrete and steel. I am not talking about zoning, fencing, shelters, or the cost of lighting systems. The number I quoted is foundation

It looks like we are saying the same thing, just differently...I said foundation and tower construction would be roughly $17-20k. My guestimate was for a turn-key, you provide the tower sections and when it is complete, your antennas are in the air. I re-read his email and it was only for tower
