Relocating fixed wireless antenna

I'm ordering fixed wireless internet service for a client (a construction company) who needs to have the ability to relocate the antenna periodically. The technology used would be LMDS (Telepacific) directional wireless for 15x15 speed.

How difficult would it be for me to relocate this antenna myself? I have easy access to crew to physically relocate and mount the antenna. However, I do not have the tools to aim and orient the antenna to ensure the best reception. I remember seeing meters for sale that an installer could use to aim a DirecTV dish. Are there any similar tools I can buy that would allow me to aim one of these antennas?
 
Your best option would be to ask the ISP what options/tools they have available to do this, and whether it is allowed at all.
 
Understood. There is always an option for us to pay for each antenna movement as a re-install. Even if we go that route, I still would like to have the necessary tools on hand which I can use in the field to re-orient an antenna (in case it's accidentally disturbed) at the job site, without being dead in the water while we are waiting for the installer to come out.
 
I didn't necessarily mean for you to just pay them each time. I meant to say that you should ask them if they allow you to move the antenna at all or if that violates the service contract. And if you are allowed to move it, if they can provide (rent or sell) the tools that you need to move their equipment properly.
