Salt Lake City, UT
IRRIGATION / SPRINKLER ESTIMATING.

## Bidding irrigation work in Salt Lake City is not the same as bidding it anywhere else The Wasatch Front has its own set of demands. You are working in a high-desert climate with a short install season, a municipal water authority that enforces tiered pricing, and a growing base of new construction in South Jordan, Herriman, and Lehi that expects detailed, line-item estimates before anyone turns a shovel. Estimate.Pro is built for irrigation contractors who need to move fast without leaving money on the table. --- ## What slows down a Salt Lake City bid Most irrigation bids get stuck in one of three places: - Measuring the site accurately when you are working across large residential lots common in Draper or Eagle Mountain - Pricing material that swings with Utah's construction demand, especially backflow preventers, valve manifolds, and drip components during spring rush - Formatting a bid that looks professional enough to win HOA and commercial contracts along the I-15 corridor Estimate.Pro cuts through all three. **AR measurement** on supported devices uses ONNX-assisted live augmented reality to map coverage zones and head spacing without a measuring wheel. On a standard residential lot in the Avenues or Sugar House, that alone saves 20 to 30 minutes per bid. Camera and photo measurements are marked as estimates so you always know what needs a field verification. **Saved material cost workspace** lets you lock in your current pricing from local suppliers — whether you source from Ewing Irrigation in Murray or SiteOne in Midvale — so your margins do not drift between Monday's bid and Friday's follow-up. **AI scope-of-work generation** turns your walkthrough notes into a structured, trade-specific scope: zone count, head type, GPM per zone, backflow preventer spec, controller model, and winterization callouts. Utah's freeze-thaw cycle means winterization is not optional language. It should be in every scope, and Estimate.Pro puts it there. --- ## The 8-minute bid target The median time from completed walkthrough to a sendable bid on Estimate.Pro is 8 minutes. For a Salt Lake City contractor running two or three site visits a day during April and May, that is the difference between quoting 15 jobs a week and quoting 6. You do not need to close every job. You need to close the right ones, fast enough to keep the schedule full. --- ## Utah-specific calculators that matter Estimate.Pro includes irrigation-specific tools relevant to Utah conditions: - **Precipitation rate calculator** — matches head spacing and arc to Salt Lake City's average ET rates so your designs actually meet the Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District's water-efficient landscape requirements - **Zone flow calculator** — checks GPM against typical residential meter sizes (5/8" and 3/4" are standard in SLC proper) so you are not designing a system that trips the meter - **Winterization scope builder** — generates a blowout protocol line item with compressor CFM spec, a detail that commercial property managers in the Sugar House and downtown corridor expect to see --- ## Pricing that matches how irrigation contractors actually work Free tier is free forever. No credit card. You can send your first bid today. When your volume grows: - **Pro** — $39 per seat per month. No platform fee on payments collected through Stripe Connect. - **Elite** — $79 per seat per month. Adds Stripe Connect invoicing and export workflows for QuickBooks or your accounting stack. - **Crew** — $399 per month flat for unlimited seats. Built for larger operations running multiple crews across Davis, Salt Lake, and Utah counties. There is no per-bid fee. There is no upsell to access the irrigation trade template. --- ## Built for 25 trades, sharp on irrigation Estimate.Pro supports 25 trades. The irrigation workflow is not a repurposed general construction template. It carries zone-level line items, head-type libraries, controller and decoder specs, and backflow preventer categories — the structure a Salt Lake City irrigation contractor actually needs to build a credible, winnable bid.
