Outdoor spaces and grounds: Quotation software for irrigation installers
Quotation software for irrigation installers that calculates zones, pipe lengths, sprinklers and trenching from the zone plan, with assumptions about pressure and ground conditions visible to the client.
Where quotes for irrigation installers get stuck.
A quote at irrigation installers starts from a zone plan, but is often built in a spreadsheet where pipe lengths, sprinklers and valves are counted by hand. An extra zone because the pressure is lower than hoped, a bore under a driveway, or trenching in a garden full of roots or rubble changes the price considerably. If those assumptions are not in the quote, disputes arise as soon as the technician needs more time. The difference between lawn sprinklers and drip line in the borders is also invisible to the client when everything sits in one total. And when the client wants to extend later, nobody remembers what is in which zone.

From enquiry to signed quote.
Record zones and assumptions
The zone plan supplies the zones, each with its type of emitter, the number of sprinklers or length of drip line and the distance to the valve box. The assumptions sit alongside: measured or estimated pressure, the flow of the source and the expected ground conditions. It is clear what the price is based on.
Calculate materials and trenching
The software counts pipe lengths per diameter, fittings, sprinklers, valves, valve boxes and the controller. Trenching is calculated per metre, with a supplement for difficult ground or hand digging between planting. A bore or duct under paving is a separate line, as is the commissioning day.
Prepare a proposal with choices
The client receives a proposal with the base system and optional extras, such as a rain sensor, a controller that works through an app or an extra zone for pots on the terrace. Each choice shows the difference. The chosen options and the zone plan are kept with the quote for installation and later extension.
Alongside your calculations and price lists.
Estimators currently work from spreadsheets, wholesaler price lists and experience. The quotation module takes over your existing items and standard times, so a standard lawn zone is not assembled from scratch each time. The zone plan comes from the adviser's design, the pressure from the measurement. An accepted quote goes to scheduling as a project, with the materials list as the basis for ordering. The buyer manages prices, the adviser the zone plan.
Fixed price or remeasured trenching
A fixed price gives the client certainty, but puts the risk of unexpected ground with you. Remeasuring trenching is fairer if the ground turns out full of roots or rubble, but leaves the client uncertain. A fixed price with a clear caveat for unusual ground is often a workable middle way.
Standard or smart controller
A simple controller with fixed times is reliable and cheap. A controller that works through an app and takes the weather into account saves water and effort, but needs wifi where the controller sits and more explanation at handover. The quote can show both with their effect on use and maintenance.
All at once or in phases
A client on a limited budget can start with the lawn and add the borders later. That only works if the main line and valve box are sized for extension in the first phase. The quote can propose phasing, with the preparation for later zones as a separate line.

Read the storyWhat we prepare in the quotes.
Zones and assumptions, calculation rules for pipe, components and trenching, and a quote with options are set up with you. Together we price a private garden with two lawn zones and one border zone, and a business site where the pressure turns out lower than estimated and an extra zone and a bore under a driveway are needed. Ordering materials from the quote and setting the estimate next to actual hours can be switched on once the first quotes are running.
View pricingSupport and updatesGood to know.
Explore pricing and optionsCan the quote be calculated straight from the zone plan?
Yes, if the zone plan holds the components and pipe lengths per zone. The software then counts the materials and calculates the trenching. The adviser checks the result and adds particulars not in the plan, such as an awkward duct.
How do we include uncertainty about the ground?
By stating it as an assumption with a caveat. For example, that the price assumes normal garden soil and that digging through rubble or thick roots is charged separately. The client then knows in advance what could happen and how it is charged.
Can we quote landscapers as a subcontractor?
Yes. A quote to a landscaper can have its own layout, without explanation meant for the end client, and with agreements on who does what during the build. The landscaper can then include the price in their own quote to the client.
How do we keep the zone plan for later extension?
The zone plan is stored with the quote and later with the project, including zones, components and pipe routes. If the client wants to extend after a few years, you can see straight away whether the main line and controller can take another zone.
What often connects to this.
- Enquiry form for irrigation installersAn enquiry form for irrigation installers that asks for the site plan, water connection and planting, so the adviser knows whether a pressure test is needed before drawing up a zone plan.
- Digital job cards for irrigation installersDigital job cards for irrigation installers on which technicians record the zone plan with sprinkler positions, the route of pipes and valves and the programmes set, so the system can be found again later.
- Invoicing software for irrigation installersInvoicing software for irrigation installers that combines connected zones, trenching, setup work and fault visits from approved job cards into an invoice with a payment link.
