Can you give me information on the construction steps and costs of building a large lighthouse (50-60 ft.)?

Thinking of building a lighthouse structure on a jungle property in Central
America that would be large enough at the base (approximately 30 ft. in diameter) to accomodate a living area and the top rising just above the jungle canopy.

Wow, should read the construction book for some idea.
Gud luck!
