What every irrigation estimate needs
- Your business name, contact details and license number
- Estimate number, date and how long the price is valid
- Clear options (good, better, best) with what each includes
- Warranty terms and any permit or inspection fees
- Deposit required, if any
- A place for the customer to approve and sign
Pricing irrigation work
- Seasonal visits: price = expected time per system (often scaled by zone count) × labor rate + a stop charge. A per-zone add-on above a base number of zones keeps large systems profitable.
- Repairs: a service call or diagnostic fee covering the first period on site, then flat-rate prices per repair (head, valve, line break) from your price book, so every tech quotes the same.
- Wire tracing and troubleshooting: bill by the hour after the first period, and say so up front.
- New installs: price per zone = (heads, pipe, valve, wire and fittings per zone) marked up to your margin + labor hours per zone × labor rate, plus controller, backflow device, permits and trenching conditions.
