Less the land lease

Painting - 50000
Foundations - 400000
Fencing if required - 11000 per meter

Damn, you guys don’t joke.

4

So many zeros in one place.

5

Foundation 400k?
My fren, bangi is managu

6

I think the figure is even higher… Those guys spend almost a month before the actual mast erection begins.

Enda pale Meuseum hill ulizia office inaitwa AllanDick…[SIZE=2]that name is just awesome…[/SIZE]
They do the Telectom Pylon thingymabobs

I don’t need one that’s going to hold heavy antennae, I don’t even need it to be 40’
Looks like I might have to build a tower to hold water tank and add an extra on top just to get away with stuff.

Thing is, am out of the country and looking at the viability of a project I want to start next year

10

i guess your initial question was vague.

11

think so too.
I only need to support a small ISP with a maximum of 8 antennae maximum load of 20 kg

12

Do you have a basic idea on what a foundation is?

13

yup,
but sio foundation ya high rise am not planning on pouring 10 feet of concrete, ama utasema ni chuma? seriously there wouldnt be more steel underground than above ground considering the cost of mast is 200k

15

I think comprehension is a problem…he quoted the mast itself at 2,000,000

16

mast kutoka china ni $2,000 ikifika kenya ndio $20,000 ? kwani inakuja business class?

And i think thats the problem there. there is an extra 0 for everything

17

Yap. Correct

18
