Subcontractors and general contractors who type “buildzoom” into a search bar are usually chasing one goal—faster, more accurate residential estimates that win profitable work. While BuildZoom is a homeowner-facing marketplace, CountBricks was built specifically for construction pros who need production-ready numbers, not leads. Our AI does in seconds what used to take hours, turning measured quantities into clear, professional proposals without bouncing between spreadsheets and supplier calls.
Commercial keyword research shows three dominant motives for the query:
• Comparing estimating platforms
• Validating budget ranges for a residential project
• Finding ways to streamline bidding workload
CountBricks satisfies each intent in one environment. Estimators can speak scope into the app, receive a detailed cost breakdown tied to live material pricing, and export a branded quote ready to send—no extra steps, no generic homeowner estimates.
1. Voice-Driven Takeoffs
Speak “450 sq ft of 2 x 6 exterior wall, R-21 batt insulation, stucco finish,” and CountBricks instantly adds tasks, labor hours and line-item material lists pulled from current supplier feeds.
2. Real-Time Cost Engine
Our platform taps national and regional supplier APIs to refresh prices every few minutes. You bid at today’s rates, not last quarter’s averages.
3. Blueprint AI
Upload PDFs, mark rooms and openings, and the system auto-counts studs, sheets, fasteners and labor based on your production rates. The result appears in the same estimate you can edit by voice.
4. One-Click Proposal Output
Generate a polished quote document—complete with scope clarifications, allowances and T&M rates—then convert to an invoice once the homeowner approves.
1. Open a new project at CountBricks.com/services
2. Talk through scope while the homeowner is still on the call
3. Watch tasks populate with crew hours and live unit costs
4. Adjust mark-ups or production rates on the fly
5. Hit “Create Proposal” and email the PDF before leaving site

Material volatility has turned yesterday’s pricing into tomorrow’s loss leader. By syncing with supplier feeds, CountBricks updates unit costs every time you open a project. If dimensional lumber spikes overnight, your estimate reflects the change, not your balance sheet.
Easily export estimates to your accounting system in CSV or PDF.
Stay mobile with iOS and Android apps that record measurements by voice on site.
Collaborate with project managers who can comment on tasks, attach photos and lock pricing before a contract is signed.
• Tag assemblies you price often—decks, bath rough-ins—so AI completes them with one phrase
• Set crew production rates for each task once; the system remembers them job-wide
• Use conditional formatting to highlight any line with more than 5 % price movement
• Attach supplier quotes as backup docs inside the estimate for client transparency
• Convert approved quotes to progress-billing invoices with one toggle
