+1 to Josh. Anytime a tower company asks me for a structural engineering I ask them for a copy of the most recent one. I tell them I don’t want to waste my time on fees if it won’t pass as is. I they can’t provide me one I throw it back to them. Why do I want to do structural on something that has never had it done? Usually this can lead to a waiving of the structural costs or getting the company to reimburse the cost of the structural.
