Irrigation Design - Commercial
Commercial irrigation designs are based on an approved landscape plan. An irrigation design is required at the building permit application stage in most municipalities. The design can also be used in tender documents to ensure prospective contractors are bidding on the approved (same) irrigation design. We are familiar with the municipal requirements and irrigation bylaws of the local municipalities and will accommodate those requirements in your design. We can access specialized resources available from contractors and irrigation manufacturers to meet your project's specific needs.
