Step 2: Make Ready Construction – 4-to-12-Week Process

The timeline for make-ready construction can vary widely, typically from 1 to 3 months. During this phase, crews make the changes necessary to accommodate fiber. Line crews change poles, move transformers from one side of the pole to another, move wires on the pole, add new anchors to the poles, and perform other work to allow the fiber to be placed during the fiber construction phase.
