The price of installing communication towers varies greatly depending on the type of tower, for example: small rooftop: 10k-50k; large monopole: 100k-500k+), the height, the geographic location (transporting and constructing in remote areas increases the cost), and the intricacy of the foundation. Other costs covered are: permits, materials, labor, equipment, and also reserve costs. Detailed site investigation and accurate engineering design mitigates expenses and maintains financial discipline.
