Residential contractors once spent late nights poring over takeoffs, dialing suppliers, and tweaking spreadsheets. Today, CountBricks builder software replaces that grind with a single voice-driven workflow. While you discuss scope with a client or foreman, our AI captures every word, matches it to live material databases, and produces a ready-to-send estimate before the coffee gets cold.
When professionals type “builder software” into a search bar, they are looking for speed, accuracy, and a strategic edge. CountBricks delivers all three—custom-built for the tight margins and high expectations that define residential work.
The hidden costs of manual processes
• Hours lost copying data between sheets
• Missed price changes leading to under-quoting
• Disconnected notes that create scope gaps
• Stressful client follow-ups when numbers don’t add up
A single 15-line error on framing lumber can erase profit on a whole townhouse. CountBricks captures quantities directly from spoken specs or blueprint uploads, eliminating transposition mistakes.
While other tools require endless clicking, CountBricks lets you talk naturally:
1. Say, “We need 2,400 square feet of 5/8″ drywall on interior walls.”
2. The AI adds material, auto-calculates waste, and assigns taping labor.
3. You approve or adjust—done.
Voice recognition merges with our pricing engine to update costs in real time. If gypsum spikes overnight, tomorrow’s quote reflects it instantly.

When Redwood Builders secured a 1,200 sq ft master-suite addition, they decided to trial CountBricks.
• Two estimators spent 14 hours manually counting joists and insulation
• Lumber costs changed twice during client deliberations, forcing rework
• First invoice was delayed a week while data was re-entered into accounting
1. The PM spoke the scope into his phone while walking the site. CountBricks created a draft with live pricing in under 10 minutes.
2. PDF plans were uploaded, and the AI takeoff filled framing, drywall, and roofing quantities automatically.
3. The client signed the digital quote the same day, triggering automated purchase orders.
Measured Results
