1. Rebar, 200
2. Hole, 100 (snagged a guy down the street who was digging a swimming
pool)
3. Concrete, 700
4. Crane, 270 (3 hour minimum, job took 1 hour, 30 min, which included
installing mast and beam)
5. Forming and rebar install, 150
These are ballpark, as I can recall the costs. The location was
accessible to the concrete truck, I ran the power to the tower. Not
knowing how much you paid I will assume it is new. Knowing the approx
cost of a new 472, I think 2.5 times the cost of the tower is far too
much. If you get separate prices for each operation and supervise the
job yourself, you might get a much lower number.
