WAG helps irrigation contractors, landscapers, pump professionals, electricians and other qualified trades confidently introduce and deliver wildfire-defense projects.
You retain the customer relationship and perform the work your company is qualified and selected to complete. WAG provides independent assessment, technical guidance, system evaluation, proposal support, project coordination, commissioning and documentation.
Bringing WAG into a project does not mean giving up your customer. Our role is to strengthen the opportunity, reduce technical uncertainty and help qualified contractors deliver successful work.
You remain an active project participant and the recognized referring contractor.
Retain the irrigation, piping, pumping, landscape, electrical or installation work within your capabilities.
Bring WAG into assessments, customer meetings, planning, product evaluation and proposal development.
Add a high-value wildfire service offering without having to become the sole expert overnight.
WAG acts as an extension of your team when a project requires independent assessment, system knowledge, technical coordination, owner-facing documentation or support beyond your current capabilities.
WAG helps determine what the property requires before equipment, contractors or installation methods are selected.
We help translate property conditions and owner goals into practical technical requirements that contractors can price and build around.
WAG helps compare available approaches without forcing the contractor or owner into one manufacturer before the project is understood.
Contractors can bring WAG into customer meetings and proposal development when technical clarity helps move the project forward.
WAG can coordinate the multiple trades, vendors and technical dependencies that make wildfire projects difficult to manage.
We help close the project professionally with organized testing, owner training and property records.
The contractor identifies the project components it wants to retain when submitting the customer opportunity. WAG documents that intended participation from the beginning and builds its support around the contractor’s actual capabilities.
WAG’s role is to improve project definition, bring the right specialists together and help the owner and contractor make better technical and implementation decisions.
Mainline, branch piping, valves, irrigation integration, water distribution and related field installation.
Pump installation, filtration, storage integration, pressure management, controls and mechanical connections.
Electrical service, disconnects, generators, battery systems, controls, communications and power distribution.
Vegetation management, irrigation adjustments, landscape improvements, fuel reduction and ongoing maintenance.
Trenching, excavation, grading, access improvements, equipment pads, restoration and related site preparation.
Qualified installation, startup, testing, seasonal service, inspections, repairs and long-term maintenance.
Every submitted opportunity records the referring contractor, the existing customer relationship and the work the contractor wants to perform. WAG uses that information when structuring the engagement and coordinating the project.
WAG is designed to make it easy for contractors to identify an opportunity, bring in technical support and remain involved through assessment, planning, implementation and closeout.
You recognize a customer who may benefit from wildfire resilience improvements.
You explain WAG’s role and receive permission to bring us into the conversation.
You submit the opportunity and identify the work your company wants to retain.
WAG evaluates the property and develops project requirements and recommendations.
Qualified trades perform the selected work with WAG support as requested.
The system is tested, documented and prepared for long-term service.
The process begins with a contractor who already knows the customer, understands the property and recognizes a need for better wildfire planning or active protection.
The contractor explains that WAG provides independent assessment, planning and project support while working with qualified contractors rather than replacing them.
The contractor completes a short opportunity form documenting the customer, property, known concerns and the project components it wants to perform.
WAG qualifies the opportunity, coordinates the appropriate assessment and develops a property-specific basis for planning and implementation.
The referring contractor is invited to price or perform the qualified scope it identified, subject to owner selection and project requirements.
WAG and the project team verify operation, document the completed system and establish responsibilities for inspection, service and long-term performance.
A qualified referring contractor is recognized, included in the project file and given a fair opportunity to participate in the scope it is equipped to perform. Final selection remains based on the property’s needs, owner priorities, qualifications, pricing and project-specific requirements.
The referring contractor and existing customer relationship are recorded when the opportunity is submitted.
The contractor identifies the work it wants to retain before the assessment or proposal process begins.
The owner maintains control over vendor selection, contracting and final project decisions.
Referral status does not override property requirements or WAG’s independent evaluation process.
Submit the property, customer authorization and the work you want to retain. WAG will review the opportunity and coordinate the next step.
WAG contractor partners are evaluated using a standardized onboarding process. The goal is not to exclude capable trades—it is to clearly understand what each company does well, where it operates and which projects it is prepared to support.
Basic verification that the company is properly established and available to perform professional work.
Required licenses and registrations are reviewed based on the trade, jurisdiction and work the contractor intends to perform.
Insurance requirements are matched to the work being performed and the risk profile of the project.
WAG documents the company’s actual equipment, personnel, trade experience and installation capabilities.
Partner matching considers whether the company has the management, labor and scheduling capacity to support the opportunity.
WAG looks for contractors who communicate clearly, document work and operate professionally around owners and project teams.
Partner onboarding establishes a baseline profile. Individual projects may require additional insurance, licensing, references, technical documentation, bonding, safety requirements or owner approval.
WAG collects consistent information from every partner so opportunities can be matched based on verified facts rather than assumptions, marketing claims or one-size-fits-all classifications.
Each company receives a structured WAG Contractor Capability Profile documenting its strengths, service area, capacity, trade scopes, limitations and preferred project types.
The company submits ownership, contact, service-area, licensing, insurance, trade and capacity information.
WAG reviews submitted credentials, certificates, relevant project examples and other supporting information.
A focused onboarding conversation confirms what the company wants to perform, what it prefers not to perform and where support is needed.
WAG assigns the appropriate participation level and records approved trade scopes, geographic coverage and project limitations.
Qualified partners may submit their own opportunities and may be considered for projects that align with their documented capabilities.
Not every contractor needs to become a complete wildfire-system installer. WAG supports multiple participation levels so companies can contribute where they are strongest and expand over time.
For contractors and professionals who identify qualified opportunities, make customer introductions and remain involved without taking primary responsibility for complex system implementation.
For established contractors qualified to perform defined portions of wildfire-resilience projects while WAG coordinates the complete project requirements and additional specialists.
For highly qualified contractors capable of leading substantial portions of a complete wildfire-defense installation while meeting elevated project-management, documentation and commissioning standards.
A smaller specialty contractor may be highly qualified within a defined scope, while a larger company may still require support outside its core capabilities. WAG classifications are based on project fit, not revenue, headcount or marketing claims.
Complete the partner application so WAG can document your service area, trade capabilities, licensing, insurance, capacity and preferred project types.
WAG is structured to support contractors without creating confusion about ownership of the customer relationship, project scope, selection or professional responsibility.
You do not need to complete the full partner application before submitting an active opportunity. WAG can review the customer need while contractor onboarding proceeds separately.
Submit an Opportunity →WAG’s role is to support and strengthen the opportunity—not intentionally displace the referring contractor.
The existing contractor relationship, referral source and desired contractor scope are documented when the opportunity is submitted. The referring contractor may remain involved in customer meetings, planning and implementation as appropriate.
No. A qualified referring contractor receives recognition and a fair opportunity to participate in the work it is equipped to perform, but the referral does not create an automatic project award.
Final selection remains subject to owner approval, project needs, qualifications, licensing, insurance, pricing, capacity and performance.
Yes. WAG services can be tailored to the project. A contractor may request support for:
No. WAG evaluates property requirements and available system approaches before recommending a path.
Some projects may ultimately require a specific manufacturer, proprietary installer credential or product-specific training, but that decision should follow the property analysis rather than precede it.
Yes. This is a central part of the WAG model.
Contractors may participate within clearly defined scopes such as irrigation, pumping, trenching, electrical work, landscaping, controls, plumbing, installation, service or maintenance.
The contracting structure may vary by project.
WAG generally recommends that owners contract directly with WAG for advisory and project-management services and directly with qualified contractors for installation work. This keeps payment, warranties, licensing and trade responsibility clear.
Alternative structures may be used when specifically documented and appropriate for the project.
WAG’s primary revenue is intended to come from assessment, advisory, documentation and project-management services—not undisclosed pay-to-play recommendations.
Any contractor fees, program costs, shared marketing arrangements or compensation structures must be separately disclosed and documented in writing.
Yes. WAG can review an active customer opportunity while your contractor profile is being developed.
Participation in installation or project work will still depend on the company completing the required qualification process.
Helpful information includes:
Yes. Supply houses and distributors can help introduce WAG to contractors, provide educational materials, host training and support product sourcing.
Distributor participation does not automatically determine which manufacturer, contractor or product is recommended for a project.
WAG can help identify additional qualified trades while preserving your participation in the scopes your company is prepared to perform.
The goal is to build a complete project team rather than forcing one contractor to assume responsibility for unfamiliar work.
Yes. Contractor profiles can be updated as companies add licenses, insurance, training, equipment, personnel, service areas and successful project experience.
Expanded participation is based on documented capability—not simply a request to move into a higher partner level.
Whether you have an active customer now or want to prepare your company for future wildfire-resilience projects, WAG provides a structured path to assessment support, technical coordination, qualified project participation and long-term service opportunities.
Opportunity submission and partner application are separate. Contractors may complete either form first.
