Rwanda 12-storey building: is a 6013 tower crane enough?

A 12-storey building, 42×24 m floor, crane planned at mid-north side.
A 6013 with 60 m jib covers it, but capacity at 27 m from the mast is only 1.3 t.
Formwork and rebar cages reach 2.1 t. Move to 6015 or add a mobile crane?

Short capacity at the tip is common; a 6015 still lifts about 2 t at 27 m, so changing model is simpler.

You can also reposition the crane or split heavy items; do not add equipment immediately.

A 6015 rents USD 800 a month more, still cheaper than a long mobile crane hire over 12 months.
