DIY kits rarely account for Hill Country soil conditions, HOA restrictions, or the electrical code specific to Travis County. CountBricks captures those variables in seconds through voice-powered on-site sessions, turning local expertise into a precise digital estimate.
1. Real-time Voice Capture: Our project manager walks your property with a mobile device, speaking dimensions, terrain notes, and design preferences. The CountBricks AI engine converts speech to a detailed material takeoff on the spot.
2. Instant Pricing Models: Lumber, steel, fasteners, automation kits, and labor hours update live from Austin supplier databases inside CountBricks.com/services.
3. Same-Day Quote Document: Within minutes you receive a branded PDF that includes 3D renders, line-item costs, and permit timelines—ready for HOA or lender approval.
4. Construction & Installation: Licensed trades break ground once permits clear. Our crews specialize in Central Texas caliche and expansive clay, ensuring footings won’t heave during the next wet season.
5. Close-Out & Maintenance Plan: Final inspection paperwork uploads to your CountBricks client portal, along with a 24-month workmanship warranty and automated maintenance reminders.

Traditional bids rely on spreadsheets that go stale the moment lumber futures shift. CountBricks pulls live numbers every time you refresh your quote, so allowance overruns disappear. Our clients routinely see cost variance drop below 2 %, compared with the 10 % industry norm.

• Power supply distance: Runs beyond 50 ft may require a subpanel upgrade
• Smart features: Video intercoms and app connectivity add hardware but increase ROI

Do I need a permit? Most motorized gates in the City of Austin require an electrical and driveway permit. CountBricks files all paperwork electronically, saving you multiple trips downtown.
Can you match my existing fence? Yes. Our AI library stores 2,500+ stain formulas and metal profiles, allowing our fabricators to replicate almost any look.
What if material prices drop after signing? Our dynamic contract includes a downward-adjustment clause—if steel prices fall more than 5 % before fabrication, we pass the savings to you.
A secure, beautifully crafted gate is more than a barrier—it’s a statement about your home and your peace of mind. Schedule a voice-powered walk-through today at CountBricks.com/consultation and experience the future of residential construction estimating.
