IRRIGATION / SPRINKLER ESTIMATING.

## Bid irrigation work in Austin without the spreadsheet grind Austin's growth hasn't slowed down. New subdivisions in Pflugerville, Hutto, and Kyle keep landing in your inbox. Commercial builds along the 183 and 45 corridors need full irrigation design. Every one of those jobs requires a priced estimate before you can move. Estimate.Pro takes you from a site walkthrough to a sendable bid in 8 minutes. That's the median. Not a demo reel number. --- ## What makes Austin irrigation estimating different **Water conservation rules are strict.** Austin Water enforces Stage 1–3 drought restrictions that can change week to week during summer. Your bid needs to account for smart controller requirements, WELS-rated heads, and drip-zone ratios before a permit gets pulled. Estimate.Pro lets you flag these line items and attach code notes directly to the scope of work. **Caliche and clay soils slow trenching.** The limestone caliche layer that runs through much of Central Texas—especially west of Mopac—adds time to every trench run. A flat-rate crew hour assumption will cost you money. Build soil-condition labor modifiers into your saved material cost workspace so you're not repricing the same adjustment job after job. **Expansive black clay in east Austin** moves seasonally. Irrigation systems installed in these soils need flexible swing joints and pressure-regulation at each zone head. Your estimate should line-item those fittings every time, not hope the customer notices it on value engineering. **Summer scheduling is compressed.** Austin's heat window pushes most residential installs into March through early June and again in September–October. You're bidding three jobs for every one you can actually schedule in that window. Speed matters. Eight minutes per bid means you can price 40 jobs in the time it used to take to do 10. --- ## How Estimate.Pro works for irrigation contractors **AR-assisted measurement.** Walk the property with your phone. On supported devices, ONNX-assisted live AR measurement captures zone boundaries, head spacing, and run lengths. On any device, camera and photo measurements give you a marked estimate you can refine before sending. No tape wheel on a client's lawn in August. **AI scope of work.** After the walkthrough, the app drafts your scope: zone count, head type, controller spec, backflow preventer, drip laterals, pressure test. You review and edit. The language is plain enough for a homeowner and detailed enough for a commercial PM. **Priced estimate in one pass.** Pipe, fittings, heads, valve boxes, wire, controller, labor by zone—all pulled from your saved material cost workspace where you've set your own supplier pricing. No markup math in your head at 9 PM. **Send from the field.** PDF or link. Customer signs. You're scheduled. --- ## Pricing that fits a one-truck operation or a crew - **Free forever.** No credit card.
