The use of ANSI/TIA-322-A & ANSI/ASSP A10.48 promotes increased quality, efficiency, and safety by improving and encouraging effective communication between the contractor and involved stakeholders such as the owner/client, structure owner, and Qualified Engineer. Quality, efficiency, and safety are also promoted by the standards by establishing that contractors have a detailed and communicated Construction Plan. Construction Plans, among other things, provide a communications pathway for Qualified Engineers to review construction operations which facilitates the successful construction, demolition, modification, and/or maintenance of the telecommunications structures.
