Our software ingests those variables during a live conversation with your client or field team. Within seconds, CountBricks translates spoken scope into quantities, assemblies, and labor hours—producing a defensible budget you can share on-site.

A 680-sq-ft master-suite addition in Oak Cliff originally budgeted drywall at $2.95/sq-ft using a generic calculator. After running the scope through CountBricks, the contractor:
• Selected 12' boards instead of 8' to cut seams by 35% • Bundled hanging and finishing with one crew from the CountBricks network • Locked pricing against weekly gypsum fluctuations
The final installed cost dropped to $2.38/sq-ft, saving the homeowner $390 on materials and the GC two days on schedule.
