Walk onto any active jobsite and you will hear the constant buzz of nail guns, saws—and now smartphones. Residential construction has moved far beyond clipboards and spreadsheets. Winning bids, controlling costs, and protecting razor-thin margins requires real-time data. That’s exactly where the CountBricks builders app changes the game. Designed for working tradespeople, our mobile platform combines AI voice capture, instant material pricing, and fully formatted estimates so you can quote a kitchen remodel in minutes—not evenings.
A builders app is much more than digital paperwork. It is a field-ready command center that connects takeoffs, labor forecasting, material procurement, and invoicing. By keeping those workflows in one secure place, CountBricks eliminates double entry and late-night math sessions.
• Voice-to-Estimate: Speak scope items into your phone and watch CountBricks convert them into line items with real-time regional pricing.
• AI Blueprint Takeoffs: Upload PDFs and let our computer vision detect walls, fixtures, and square footage in seconds.
• Smart Labor Libraries: Reference pre-built task templates aligned with residential codes and typical crew productivity.
• One-Tap Purchase Orders: Approved quantities flow directly to suppliers with current cost data, reducing price shocks.
• Branded Proposal PDFs: Generate polished client documents stamped with your logo and payment terms.
• Bid burnout—estimators stuck in the office while competitors meet homeowners.
• Cost overruns from outdated material price books.
• Fragmented communication between field crews, office staff, and suppliers.
• Manual data entry that introduces errors into invoices and change orders.
Real-Time Material Pricing
CountBricks connects to live supplier feeds, updating lumber, drywall, and finish prices every morning. You quote the exact rate you’ll pay tomorrow, protecting margins.
Field-First Design
Whether you’re in a basement or on a roof, tap the big blue microphone icon and talk through a scope: “Demo existing cabinets, install 42 linear feet of shaker uppers, add under-cabinet lighting.” The builders app timestamps the note, assigns labor hours, and calculates materials on the fly.
End-to-End Workflow in One Place
1. Capture scope by voice or blueprint. 2. Fine-tune quantities with drag-and-drop takeoff tools. 3. Auto-generate a professional quote. 4. Convert to a project budget when the homeowner signs. 5. Push live purchase orders to suppliers. 6. Create progress invoices tied to schedule of values.
