Residential builders and remodelers across Central Texas share one constant goal: keep projects on time and on budget without sacrificing craftsmanship. When it comes to a seemingly small scope such as a door replacement or a full-frame installation, hidden variables can derail that goal fast. CountBricks combines AI-driven estimating, real-time field data capture and automated material pricing to give Austin contractors total control over every doorway they touch.
• Temperature swings and high humidity demand door slabs that resist warping
• Energy-efficient entries lower cooling bills during the long Texas summer
• Proper flashing and threshold sealing stop wind-driven rain common in spring storms
• Local code updates require specific fire-rating and egress clearances for safety
• Fiberglass entry doors: Durable, paintable and highly insulating
• Solid core interior doors: Enhanced acoustic privacy between living areas
• Sliding patio units: Wide daylight openings with upgraded low-E glass
• Pocket doors: Space-saving solutions for urban infill and ADU projects
Material SKU pricing and labor availability change weekly in a fast-growing metro like Austin. Traditional spreadsheets struggle to keep pace. CountBricks.com/services connects live distributor catalogs to your estimate, auto-updating:
• Current slab or pre-hung unit cost
• Required jamb extensions for 2x6 walls
• Specialty hardware such as smart locks or multi-point latches
• Trim packages, shims, spray foam, waterproof tapes, and fasteners
The result is a quote that mirrors today’s supply-chain reality, not last quarter’s bid sheet.
1. Capture site conditions with CountBricks voice notes on your mobile device
2. Upload blueprint or doorway measurements for instant AI takeoff
3. Review generated scope—demo, framing tweaks, flashing, finish trimming
4. Approve auto-pulled materials list and real-time labor hours
5. Schedule vetted local carpenters through the CountBricks crew calendar
6. Track progress and photo logs inside your dashboard until punch-out
Rehanging a door due to a 1/8-inch twist can cost more than the original installation. CountBricks’ AI flags risk factors early:
• Out-of-plumb rough openings
• Unleveled sub-flooring affecting threshold fit
• Insufficient header sizing on widened entries
Each alert includes corrective actions, material adds and time impacts so you can present options to homeowners before work starts.
You are never waiting on email chains. Through CountBricks client portals residents preview door styles, approve finish colors and sign change orders digitally. Instant transparency builds trust and speeds decisions, a crucial edge when Austin’s permitting queue is long.
Local programs such as Austin Energy Green Building award points for advanced jamb seals, FSC-certified wood and U-factor thresholds. CountBricks AI auto-tags eligible line items so you can upsell sustainable options that may qualify homeowners for rebates.
• Pre-assemble hinges and locksets on the bench to cut on-site time

A homeowner in the South Lamar district discovered daylight around her warped front door during a spring storm. She requested a Friday evening quote and needed the security risk resolved before Monday. Using CountBricks voice capture, our project lead recorded measurements, dictated moisture readings and flagged the need for a wider trim to cover settled brick mould gaps.
1. AI processed the voice file and blueprint snippet, outputting a scope with demo, rough opening adjustment and a fiberglass, four-lite door option within 7 minutes.
2. Real-time pricing pulled from the distributor showed in-stock availability two miles away.
3. The homeowner digitally approved the quote at 10:00 PM via the CountBricks client portal.
• The crew calendar auto-assigned a two-person team for Sunday morning.
• Materials were will-called and delivered curbside by 8:00 AM.
• Live task tracking allowed the homeowner to watch threshold waterproofing and foam sealing in real time.
The new door was hung, finished and hardware-synced with a smart lock by 3:00 PM Sunday. Total variance from the original AI estimate: $18, reflecting one additional tube of low-expansion foam noted by the installer and approved instantly through the portal. The customer left a five-star review citing “unreal speed and zero surprises.”
• Leverage after-hours AI estimates to win business while competitors sleep
• Sync supplier stock data to avoid weekend material shortages
• Capture every field adjustment in the app to keep invoices airtight
