Portland’s homeowners love their kitchens, laundry rooms, and outdoor living spaces—but they do not love surprise costs when a dishwasher fails or a whole-home appliance package is needed for a remodel. That is where CountBricks comes in. Our voice-driven AI estimation platform turns real-time conversations into fully costed appliance scopes—complete with local labor rates, materials, and timelines—within minutes. Whether you manage a design-build firm or you are a GC coordinating multiple trades, CountBricks keeps every appliance project in Portland, Oregon on budget and on schedule.
• Tight sustainability regulations demand ENERGY STAR ratings and precise spec sheets
• Space-saving floorplans in classic Portland bungalows leave no room for measurement errors
• Homebuyers expect smart-home connectivity, touch-free faucets, and induction cooking platforms
• Volatile supply chains make today’s pricing obsolete tomorrow—unless you have real-time data
Traditional estimating workflows cannot keep up. Phone calls, supplier PDFs, and handwritten notes lead to overruns. CountBricks solves that by linking live supplier feeds to your voice session. Tell the platform, “Add a 36-inch counter-depth fridge with an ice maker,” and watch the line item populate instantly—price, lead time, and install labor all pre-filled for the Portland metro area.
1. Full kitchen replacement after a water loss
2. Energy-efficiency upgrade for ADU conversions
3. Luxury appliance packages in custom builds
4. Warranty repairs on washers and dryers
5. Outdoor kitchen additions on rooftop decks
Each scenario has a different cost profile. CountBricks’ algorithm references historical Portland project data and current supplier pricing, so your estimate reflects real market conditions—no padded contingencies, no guesswork.
Speak naturally: “Remove existing slide-in range, install new 30-inch dual-fuel range.” Our natural-language engine translates that into tasks, materials, and labor hours, eliminating manual entry mistakes.
Upload architectural PDFs and mark appliance locations. CountBricks auto-detects wall elevations, clearances, and utility rough-ins, ensuring that the selected units will actually fit the space.
We refresh pricing multiple times a day from local distributors. If stainless-steel dishwasher prices drop 4 %, your estimate reflects it instantly—no spreadsheet edits required.
Click “Export” and receive a polished homeowner-ready PDF branded with your logo and the CountBricks cost breakdown. Conditional clauses, warranty language, and payment schedules are auto-filled to match Oregon regulations.
When work is complete, transform approved line items into progress invoices directly inside CountBricks. Sync with your accounting software and get paid faster.
Energy Trust of Oregon Rebates
Portland homeowners can earn cash back for ENERGY STAR refrigerators, heat-pump dryers, and induction ranges. CountBricks flags eligible SKUs and pre-populates rebate amounts, so your bid looks more attractive than competitors who overlook incentives.
City Permitting Nuances
Replacing a gas range with an induction cooktop may trigger an electrical permit. Our rules engine warns you during the estimate phase, reducing change orders mid-project.
Supply Lead Times
Some European appliance brands can take 14-20 weeks to land at Portland’s port. CountBricks highlights lead-time risk and suggests locally stocked alternatives if your schedule is tight.
• Verify door swing clearances on tight condo kitchens before finalizing specs
• Include anti-tip brackets for ranges—required by Oregon Residential Specialty Code
• Budget for haul-away fees; Metro transfer station rates just increased
• Add a GFCI upgrade line when replacing dishwashers in pre-1990 homes
• Offer optional smart-home integration to upsell tech-savvy clients
A design-build firm uploaded a 1920s bungalow plan to CountBricks and recorded a 12-minute voice session describing new appliances: counter-depth fridge, 30-inch range, drawer microwave, panel-ready dishwasher, and chimney hood. CountBricks generated a complete estimate—labor, materials, disposal, and permits—in under five minutes. The homeowner received the quote that afternoon, approved within 24 hours, and the GC’s margin held because pricing stayed locked thanks to our live cost feed.
