Pricing guide

Costs are mainly driven by system scale — commercial, high‑capacity installs typically require heavier mains, multi‑station valve banks and more coordination. Controller selection (basic versus smart) usually increases material and commissioning time and may require electrician support for mains-powered units. Trenching depth, ground conditions and whether turf or hardscape reinstatement is needed also affect the overall scope.

  • System scale and capacity

    Commercial or very high‑capacity systems often need larger mains, multi‑station valve banks and heavier materials, which increases complexity.

  • Controller type and smart features

    Premium Wi‑Fi/smart controllers typically add to material costs and require extra commissioning and app integration time.

  • Water supply and pump requirements

    If mains pressure is inadequate or filtration/pumping is required, the installation scope usually becomes more involved.

  • Trenching and site reinstatement

    Deeper trenches or work through hardscape typically take longer and may need separate reinstatement arrangements compared with standard turf reinstatement.

  • Coordination and permits with other trades

    Jobs that need plumbers, electricians or specialist permits generally require additional coordination and may broaden the scope.
