Margins in residential construction are getting tighter, schedules are under constant pressure, and homeowners expect transparent pricing. The difference between winning and losing your next project can come down to the speed and accuracy of your carpentry quotes. Manual spreadsheets and guess-work inflate risk. CountBricks solves the problem with AI-driven estimating that produces carpenter-ready numbers in real time.
• Speed: Clients compare at least three bids. The first detailed proposal often gets the callback.
• Accuracy: Missed line items or outdated material prices erode profit once the job starts.
• Clarity: Clear scope reduces change orders and protects your reputation.
• Professional presentation: A branded PDF with allowances and exclusions feels miles ahead of a text email.
Speak naturally on site or in the ute. CountBricks’ AI turns your conversation into structured tasks, quantities and labour allowances. No typing, no missed details.
CountBricks links directly to major timber and hardware suppliers. As you quote, current market rates for framing, flooring, fix-outs and finishes flow straight into your estimate.
Based on historic CountBricks productivity data, labour hours auto-populate for each carpentry task. Adjust crew size or rates on the fly to match project complexity.
When the numbers look right, tap “Generate.” CountBricks produces a branded PDF containing:
• Detailed bill of quantities
• Allowances and exclusions
• Payment schedule and terms
• Digital signature fields for rapid acceptance
A quote produced in CountBricks is more than a price. It is a database of tasks, costs and timelines you can track against as the job progresses. Link the accepted quote to CountBricks scheduling and invoicing to watch budget variance in real time.
• Auto alerts when timber prices shift beyond tolerance
• Variation generator that re-prices new scope instantly
• Crew timesheet comparison against quoted hours

They captured the scope in 18 minutes of voice notes, generated a comprehensive quote in under an hour, and beat two competitors still waiting on supplier callbacks.

The CountBricks team recently supported a two-storey beach house build on the NSW South Coast. The initial carpentry quote—covering wall frames, roof trusses, cladding and feature timber ceilings—was produced in 42 minutes with blueprint takeoffs and voice notes. Throughout the six-month build, CountBricks flagged a 7% spike in hardwood prices. The contractor issued a variation through the platform, complete with updated quantities and client sign-off in under an hour. Final profitability landed 3% above target, proving the value of real-time data.
