CountBricks Builders Quotes for Residential Pros

Builders Quotes That Win Jobs and Protect Margins

In the fast-paced residential construction market, accurate builders quotes are essential for maintaining profitability. With material costs ranging from $650-$1200 per opening, staying updated is crucial. CountBricks transforms voice conversations into detailed estimates, integrating live material pricing, labor tasks, and margins tailored to your business.

The Traditional Quoting Headache

Many builders rely on outdated methods, leading to:

• Missed material price rises that erode profit
• Hours lost duplicating data into job-management software
• Inconsistent formatting that confuses clients and financiers
• Limited visibility for the site crew who must build to the price

How CountBricks Re-imagines Builders Quotes

CountBricks listens as you describe the scope—on site, in the ute, or at the office. Our AI converts natural speech into a structured takeoff, then automatically pulls live material costs and award rates from your custom database.

1. Speak the plan: “Single-storey extension, 42 m² brick veneer, Colorsteel roof.”
2. AI takeoff: CountBricks maps quantities against your templates in seconds.
3. Live pricing: The platform checks supplier feeds and your negotiated discounts.
4. Margin control: Apply mark-ups or fixed margins per cost centre.
5. One-click quote: Generate a branded PDF or interactive web link ready for sign-off.
