PropertyIntel Power Up: Map Irrigation Zones From an Aerial Image or a PDF Plan 🚀

Irrigation Zone Mapping in PropertyIntel

Some irrigation bids start with a pre-construction plan already in your inbox. Others start with a call about an existing property, and all you have to go on is the ground in front of you. PropertyIntel maps zones, heads, and pipe runs either way, so the estimate holds up no matter how the job shows up.

• Aerial Imagery Irrigation Design: When all you've got is the physical layout of the property, draw zone coverage areas, place heads, and trace pipe runs right on the aerial image, with square footage and quantities calculating automatically as you go.

• Pulling an Irrigation Estimate From a PDF Plan: When a pre-construction plan lands in your inbox, upload it as a project page. Use Dynamic Placement to highlight one head symbol and let PropertyIntel auto-place every matching instance across the page, then trace pipe runs by hand with Snap to PDF Lines locking your cursor to the routes already drawn on the plan.

• One Zone Map, Either Way: Export a branded PDF or share a read-only link so crews and property managers see exactly which zone is which, whether the job started as an aerial sketch or an uploaded plan.

The zone map you build becomes the reference your team pulls up for repairs, renewals, and every inspection after.

Enrich a Map with Custom Fields

Want more detail on your irrigation zone maps? With Map Metadata, you can attach custom fields directly to any object, line, or shape on your takeoff so zone labels, condition notes, and material specs live right on the map where your team needs them.

Your admin sets up the fields once (and can group them for easy reuse), then assigns them to the right catalog items so you're automatically prompted for the right information as you draw each zone.

You can even attach reference photos to any item, giving your team a clear picture of field conditions without leaving the map.
