He did it as part of the estimate as did the other. Neither charged me for it but they did not give me designs to keep.
He is all 1800 pop ups, 5000 series rotors, ESP controller and the RPZ backflow Ppreventor. He does not seem to be cutting corners in product or coverage, his design requires more labor on his part than the other. Again thanks, your input and this site has paid off.
Thank you for your input. I've decided to go with the company who uses Rainbird. Not because of the equipment but more for his design which seemed more taylored to the yard shape than the othervendor. He just brought the small business (he worked for years)and overall percieved best value. After the 2 yr warrenty I'll replaace items as they break with whatever is rated best at that time. Make sense?
I have 2 proposals. One uses Hunter products the other Rainbird. Is ther a clear advantage of one over the other?
