Our readers were right when they challenged Billboard Insider’s estimate that it costs $80,000 to construct a 14′ by 48′ static billboard and $30,000 to construct a 12′ by 25′ steel monopole static billboard.  Here are the results of Billboard Insider’s survey on construction costs.  One in three of our readers spend between $80,000 and $100,000 to construct a 14′ by 48′ steel static monopole.  About an equal number spend more than that or less than that.

One in three Billboard Insider readers spend more than $50,000 to construct a 12′ by 25′ steel monopole.  Six of 10 readers spend more than $40,000.  Four of 10 readers spend less than $40,000.
