In residential construction, central trim & supply is more than decorative flair—it frames every doorway, crowns every ceiling, and ties every space together. Homeowners notice when casing lines are crisp and baseboards align perfectly. Builders notice too, because trim packages can account for up to 10 % of a project’s material spend and an even larger slice of labor time when measurements go wrong.
• Manual takeoffs from paper blueprints leave room for missed lineal footage and waste
• Pricing for MDF, poplar, and PVC fluctuates weekly, shrinking already tight margins
• Coordinating deliveries from multiple suppliers causes job-site delays and cost overruns
CountBricks was built to eliminate guesswork. Our AI-powered platform converts real-time voice conversations into detailed estimates, automatically matching every room elevation to its ideal trim profile.
Simply drag your PDF into the CountBricks interface or snap a photo onsite. Our computer-vision engine detects walls, windows, and ceiling heights—then calculates precise counts for crown, base, shoe, and casing in seconds.
CountBricks syncs nightly with regional distributors, so your central trim & supply estimate reflects today’s MDF board foot, not last month’s average. The result is bids that protect your mark-up and win more jobs.
Need to switch the dining room crown from 4 ¼″ ogee to 6″ stepped? Just tell CountBricks while you walk the site. The platform updates length, waste percentage, and cost line items instantly—no spreadsheets required.
• Separate install times for base, shoe, and crown moulding
• Regional wage presets or custom crew rates

When the Oak Ridge subdivision required 35 identical spec homes, the framing subcontractor relied on CountBricks to handle central trim & supply. Automated takeoffs shaved three hours per unit, and live cost locking saved $27,000 when MDF prices spiked mid-build. See more successes at CountBricks.com/portfolio.

At the Lakeshore custom residence, the client upgraded to a coffered ceiling after framing had begun. Traditional workflows would have stalled the project for days. With CountBricks, the superintendent captured ceiling dimensions via voice, selected a three-piece crown from the digital catalog, and received a revised proposal within ten minutes. Material arrived on the next truck, and finish carpenters stayed productive.
