Make-ready is the process of preparing existing utility poles to accept new fiber attachments before construction begins. It involves structural analysis of each pole, identification of required remediation, NJUNS application filing, utility coordination, and post-construction verification. Make-ready is the longest lead-time item on most aerial fiber deployments — underestimating it is the single most common reason fiber builds run late. --- ## Draftech Make-Ready Services - **Pole Loading Analysis** — NESC-compliant structural analysis using O-Calc Pro and SPIDA Calc. Every aerial span analyzed before attachment - **NJUNS Application Processing** — Application filing, rejection resolution, and progress tracking for all utility owners on the route - **OTMR Coordination** — One Touch Make-Ready eligibility determination, contractor coordination, and bifurcated filing management - **Joint-Use Make-Ready** — Multi-attacher coordination, transfer notification management, and remediation tracking - **Make-Ready Cost Estimating** — Per-pole cost modeling based on pole condition, attachment counts, and utility owner timelines - **Post-Construction Verification** — As-built pole records confirming all attachments meet approved heights and clearances --- ## Make-Ready Cost Factors Make-ready cost is driven by pole condition, attachment density, utility owner responsiveness, and NESC loading district. Our estimating models are built from project records across all 48 continental U.S. states and account for regional variance in utility owner timelines and remediation requirements. --- ## OTMR vs. Traditional Make-Ready One Touch Make-Ready (OTMR) allows a new attacher's contractor to perform all make-ready work in a single visit. Eligibility depends on pole ownership, existing attacher types, and FCC OTMR rules. We assess OTMR eligibility for every route and structure applications accordingly. --- ## Make-Ready Timelines Realistic make-ready timelines on a moderate-complexity aerial project (800–2,000 poles) run 90–180 days from application to completion. Timeline is driven primarily by utility owner responsiveness, not engineering output. We track every open application and escalate proactively. --- ## Service Area All 48 continental U.S. states. Active make-ready engagements across Southeast, Midwest, Mid-Atlantic, and rural broadband markets. --- ## Contact - **Website:** https://draftech.com/services/make-ready-engineering.html - **Email:** info@draftech.com - **Phone:** 305-306-7406 - **Address:** 15280 NW 79th CT, Suite 102, Miami Lakes, FL 33016
