Every outlet, switch, and panel in a new home starts with a single question: how much will the Buffalo electrical supply package cost today? Western New York’s extreme weather, code updates, and shifting commodity prices make that simple question surprisingly hard to answer. CountBricks removes the guesswork. Our voice-driven AI connects in real time with local distributors, delivering accurate material counts, labor tasks, and current pricing while you speak. The result is a lightning-fast estimate, a polished client quote, and an invoice ready to send without ever opening a spreadsheet.
• Lake-effect winters increase demand for heat-trace cabling, AFCI breakers, and generator transfer switches
• Spring thaw tightens schedules, compressing lead times on conduit and service panels
• New York Energy Conservation Code mandates high-efficiency lighting, adding dimmers, sensors, and compatible drivers
• Local amendments require tamper-resistant receptacles in all habitable rooms, changing fixture counts
• Copper price spikes hit THHN and Romex first, often changing quotes within days
• Regional distributor inventories fluctuate, making availability as crucial as price
Most residential builders still rely on printed price sheets and manual takeoffs. CountBricks transforms that workflow:
1. Speak or upload your single-line diagram. Our AI extracts every circuit, breaker, and device.
2. CountBricks cross-references Buffalo electrical supply catalogs for live SKU pricing.
3. Labor tasks populate automatically, aligned with local union and non-union rates.
4. A branded PDF quote is generated, ready for client sign-off.
