A film or streaming production in Miami might look glamorous on screen, yet behind the scenes the clock is ruthless. Producers need a fully functional bathroom that meets residential code, blends seamlessly with the storyline, and can be struck the moment the director yells, “That’s a wrap.” CountBricks brings residential construction precision to the set, allowing art departments, location managers, and general contractors to move from concept to completion without guesswork.
• Realtime voice-to-estimate: Walk the location with your phone, describe what you see, and receive an instant scope and budget.
• Local Miami cost engine: Our AI ties directly into Florida labor rates and material availability, so your estimate mirrors market reality.
• Digital blueprint takeoffs: Upload a PDF of the set designer’s layout, and watch CountBricks convert walls, fixtures, and finishes into a quantity-driven bill of materials.
• One-click quote documents: Send professional proposals to producers with studio-ready formatting straight from CountBricks.com/services.
In residential construction, life-safety and plumbing codes set the baseline. On a film set, the bathroom also has to photograph well under high-lumens lighting. CountBricks’ spec library lets you sort fixtures by both photogenic style and Miami-Dade compliance. From vintage claw-foot tubs to sleek modern vanities, every item is tied to a live SKU, current price, and lead-time alert.
1. Pre-visualization: Import the art director’s mood board into CountBricks to auto-suggest fixture palettes that match color temperature and camera sensor preferences.
2. Site verification: A field lead records voice notes in the raw space. CountBricks flags conflicts with existing rough-in heights and Miami plumbing code.
3. Rapid estimate: The software combines fixture data, labor productivity factors, and set-specific temporary utility fees into a minute-by-minute cost timeline.
4. Producer approval: CountBricks auto-generates a PDF quote that highlights savings from modular wall panels and pre-finished flooring.
5. Build & shoot: Crews follow a QR-code task list. Each completed line item updates the live cost dashboard for the production accountant.
6. Strike & recycle: After filming, CountBricks issues teardown instructions and donation routes so materials can be repurposed on local residential remodels.
• Humidity mitigation: Specialty exhaust fans and mold-resistant drywall add 3-7% to material costs versus other markets.
• Union vs. non-union labor: Miami’s tiered wage scales can swing total labor spend by 15%. CountBricks allows side-by-side comparison.
• Permit fast-tracking: Productions often need a bathroom operational in days, not weeks. CountBricks’ code summary package streamlines municipal approvals.
• Hurricane readiness: Even temporary sets must meet wind-load thresholds. Our structural add-on modules price impact-rated glazing and anchoring hardware automatically.
• Test lighting on all surfaces before final paint to avoid unwanted glare.
• Choose slip-resistant porcelain tiles that won’t reflect boom mics.
• Run redundant water-supply lines so multiple takes don’t deplete pressure.
• Use removable wall panels behind the camera side for easy lens adjustments.
• Label every shut-off valve; a quick reset between scenes saves hours.
CountBricks bridges the gap between the construction trailer and the director’s monitor. Our cloud dashboard invites decorators, set designers, plumbers, and safety officers into the same live file, eliminating version chaos. Because the platform is rooted in residential construction logic, it feels intuitive to trades already familiar with home builds, yet it layers on film-set-specific scheduling, such as shoot day call times and wrap milestones.
During a recent streaming pilot filmed in Wynwood, CountBricks shaved two days off the schedule by pre-assembling vanity cabinets in a local millwork shop. The AI forecasted congestion on the load-in route near Northwest 2nd Avenue and automatically shifted deliveries to predawn windows, cutting overtime by 11%. Producers funneled the savings into extra camera coverage, ultimately enhancing the episode’s production value—all while the on-screen bathroom received rave reviews from the cinematographer for its balanced color palette.
