IRRIGATION / SPRINKLER ESTIMATING.

## Irrigation Estimating in Tampa Moves Fast — Your Bids Should Too Tampa's year-round growing season means irrigation work never really stops. New subdivisions pushing into Hillsborough County's eastern corridors, commercial retrofits on Kennedy Boulevard, and drought-triggered replacements in established neighborhoods like Carrollwood and Westchase keep your schedule tight. Slow bids lose jobs to the next contractor who shows up with numbers already on paper. Estimate.Pro gets you from a site walkthrough to a sendable bid in 8 minutes. That is not a rounding number — it is the median across the contractors using the platform today. --- ## What Makes Tampa Irrigation Estimates Different **Sandy soils and reclaimed water systems change your material spec.** Tampa's Hillsborough County operates one of the largest reclaimed water systems in the United States. A significant share of residential and commercial irrigation runs on reclaimed supply, which requires purple-pipe fittings, backflow preventers rated for non-potable service, and signage per Florida Building Code and FDEP rules. If your estimate template doesn't account for that split — potable versus reclaimed — you're either leaving money on the table or eating the upgrade cost. **Florida Water Star and SWFWMD efficiency requirements add line items.** The Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD) enforces irrigation restrictions and incentivizes Florida Water Star certification on new installs. Certified designs require ET-based controllers, pressure-regulated heads, and soil moisture sensors. Each of those is a real line item. Estimate.Pro lets you build those material costs into a saved workspace so they populate automatically on every compliant bid. **Permit fees are real here.** Hillsborough County requires permits for new irrigation systems. Budget your bids accordingly — a missed permit line item shrinks your margin before the first head is installed. --- ## How Estimate.Pro Works for Irrigation Contractors **Walkthrough → AI scope-of-work → priced estimate.** You walk the property. The app captures measurements using AR on supported devices — ONNX-assisted live AR measurement that gives you zone coverage areas without a measuring wheel. On photos or older devices, measurements are marked as estimates so you know what to verify. Either way, the scope builds as you walk. The AI reads your walkthrough notes and generates a line-item scope: zones, head count, valve manifolds, controller type, backflow preventer, reclaimed versus potable supply, sleeves under hardscape, and anything else you flag. You review, adjust, and send. **Material costs stay current in your workspace.** Irrigation supply prices out of SiteOne, Ewing, and local distributors move. Estimate.Pro gives you a saved material cost workspace you control. Update Hunter or Rain Bird head pricing once, and every future bid pulls the current number. No more estimating off a price sheet that's six months old. **No platform fee on collected payments — on Pro and above.** If you collect payment through Stripe Connect inside the app, the platform fee is 0% on Pro+ plans. On the free tier it's 3%. That difference matters on a $12,000 commercial zone expansion. --- ## Plans Built for How You Actually Work - **Free forever** — no credit card, no time limit.

Irrigation is one of them — not an afterthought. The scope templates know the difference between a drip zone and a rotary zone, between a master valve and a zone valve, between a 1-inch backflow and a 2-inch. You're not forcing irrigation work into a generic construction estimator. Tampa contractors are running jobs in neighborhoods where HOA landscape committees want documentation, commercial property managers want line-item detail, and new construction GCs want a number by end of day. Estimate.Pro gives you a bid that's fast enough to send the same afternoon and detailed enough to hold up when the client asks questions. Start free. No credit card.
