Every trade professional knows the pressure of turning a homeowner’s idea into an accurate number—fast. Miss the window and the job is gone. Misprice it and profit evaporates. CountBricks answers this challenge with an ai estimate generator engineered for residential construction. By combining real-time voice input, live material databases and task libraries built by trade specialists, our platform produces line-item estimates as naturally as holding a jobsite conversation.
1. Open the CountBricks mobile or desktop app and start talking—no rigid forms, just plain language.
2. The platform converts speech to structured scope items, matching them with pre-built residential cost codes.
3. CountBricks pulls current supplier pricing, labour rates and equipment costs.
4. A complete estimate appears in seconds, ready for your markup or client discounts.
5. One click converts the estimate into a branded proposal, invoice or purchase order.
• Accurate line pricing pulled from live regional databases
• Framing, roofing, MEP and finish templates designed by licensed trades
• Voice-to-scope workflow—no keyboard hunting while on the ladder
• Automatic profit tracking so change orders stay profitable
• Integrated blueprint takeoffs without extra software
A typical mid-size remodel bid can take four hours in spreadsheets. CountBricks completes the same scope in under ten minutes, freeing your estimator to walk the next site or order long-lead items.
Supplier costs for lumber, copper and drywall can swing 15% monthly. Our ai estimate generator pulls nightly price updates, preventing outdated numbers from eating margin.
Homeowners judge competence by paperwork. CountBricks proposals include cover page, scope narrative, exclusions and digital signature blocks—all branded with your logo and colours preset in your CountBricks style profile.
Upload PDFs and let CountBricks auto-detect walls, doors, windows and fixtures. Quantities flow straight into the estimate so your voice session only has to capture the custom details—finishes, allowances, special-order items.
• Use the “Site Audio” toggle to record client conversations and auto-populate selections
• Create trade-specific assemblies (e.g., “Craftsman porch” or “Luxury primary bath”) to bid repeat scopes in seconds
• Sync CountBricks with accounting to push approved estimates directly to job cost codes
• Leverage the change-order chatbot to generate, price and send client revisions on the spot
• Set automatic procurement alerts when accepted bids exceed lumber or HVAC thresholds
Before CountBricks, Ridgeview Framing spent late nights crunching numbers after site work. Since adopting the ai estimate generator, the team bids twice as many projects per week and sees a 6% average margin lift thanks to real-time lumber pricing. “The voice capture feels like chatting with our lead carpenter,” says owner Miguel Ortega. “It thinks the way we build.” Explore more success stories at CountBricks.com/portfolio.
