Its about being consistent for each pole making sure you do the first pole steps for each pole.

Do not change wires constantly for Comms 2.5 looks like a 2 on the next stick with 2.5. Change only if you see the comm change from 2.5 to 1.5 a big dramatic change. Always go with the bigger size.

As for power keep track of that single different wire size with in a line 1 – 336 ACSR & 3 – 653 ACSR. Do not lose track of what you are putting.

Utility equipment make sure to add everything on the pole street light, cut outs, and etc. Sometimes the raptor covers, or a street light can be easily missed. Also be aware what angle the equipment should be facing. Transformers using the correct sizes / style open delta, Single, or Bank.

Anchors & Down guys making sure the owners are matching with connected communication lines. Making sure angles are correct and IKE did not dramatically put it off. Just like checking the WEPs.
