Smart devices, high-definition streaming, and work-from-home offices have turned residential Wi-Fi from a luxury into a utility. If you are building or remodeling in Central Texas, “good enough” cabling will not satisfy homeowners who expect rock-solid coverage in every corner of the house and backyard. CountBricks leads the way in computer networking Austin projects for custom and production homes, delivering turnkey wiring, hardware selection, and system configuration backed by AI-precise estimating.
• Local expertise: Our Austin-based project teams understand limestone foundations, multi-story framing, and the city’s strict low-voltage permitting.
• All-in-one platform: Voice-driven site walks feed directly into CountBricks AI, producing same-day material takeoffs, labor hours, and cost breakdowns.
• Residential specialization: From garden homes in Cedar Park to luxury builds on Lake Travis, we focus 100 % on single-family and multi-family residences.
• Seamless coordination: Networking crews sync schedules with electrical, HVAC, and drywall trades through the CountBricks.com dashboard to avoid costly rework.
1. Pre-wire consultation and blueprint takeoff via CountBricks.com/blueprints
2. Low-voltage rough-in: Cat6 or Cat6A runs, coaxial, fiber drops, and conduit for future upgrades
3. Structured media panel installation in conditioned space
4. Access point placement modeling for full-home Wi-Fi coverage
5. Smart switch, PoE device, and rack configuration
6. Post-drywall trim, termination, and certification testing
7. Homeowner hand-off with labeled ports and cloud-managed dashboard
Traditional low-voltage bids rely on manual counting and outdated price sheets. CountBricks AI listens to your scope discussion, pulls real-time Austin material costs, and delivers a line-item proposal before you leave the site. The result:
• Average of 18 % cost variance reduction compared to manual bids
• Clear allowances for change orders, visible in the CountBricks.com/client-portal
• Instant “good-better-best” options so owners can weigh Cat6 vs. Cat6A or wired vs. wireless backhaul
Cable Path Length: Hill Country custom homes often sprawl over 6,000 sq ft. Longer runs mean more cable, labor, and testing time.
Exterior Penetrations: Stucco and stone exteriors common in Austin require specialized sleeves and sealants.
Heat Management: Attic temperatures can exceed 140°F. We place active equipment in conditioned closets and specify plenum-rated cabling when pathways cross hot zones.
Bandwidth Demand: Gamers and 4K streamers benefit from multi-gig switches and fiber uplinks, slightly raising material costs but future-proofing the investment.
The homeowner requested seamless outdoor Wi-Fi for poolside video meetings and barn security cameras. Using CountBricks AI takeoffs, we installed:
• 5,800 ft of Cat6A
• Two indoor 24-port PoE+ switches
• Four weather-rated access points on arbor and porch beams
• Fiber backhaul between main house and detached office
Final inspection passed in one visit, and speed tests show 940 Mbps across 2.5 acres.
CountBricks schedules low-voltage rough-in immediately after electrical wiring. Our platform flags conflicts—such as shared drill holes or overfilled conduits—before crews arrive on site. Builders see:
• Fewer sheetrock repairs from misplaced boxes
• Reduced inspection delays
• Streamlined close-out documentation accessible at CountBricks.com/portfolio
• Plan for at least one Ethernet drop behind every TV location—even if owners initially opt for streaming boxes.
• Add conduit from the structured panel to the attic for future antenna or Starlink cables.
• Use keystone-style wall plates; they simplify color changes during remodels.
• Label both ends of every run during rough-in—don’t wait until trim.
• Include a surge-protected UPS in the rack; Austin’s spring storms often bring power spikes.

Many general contractors admit low-voltage systems feel like a different language. CountBricks bridges that gap with a process designed for non-technical builders.
1. Upload PDFs to CountBricks.com/blueprints
2. Our AI highlights probable device locations—media panels, access points, cameras—using color-coded layers.
3. You approve or adjust with simple voice commands, and the software recalculates instantly.
• Swap Cat6 for fiber and watch material totals update in real time.
• Adjust labor rates to match your preferred subcontractor tier.
• Generate homeowner upgrade sheets directly from the same data, eliminating duplicate entry.
CountBricks field techs arrive with QR-coded plans linked to your digital dashboard. Each completed run is scanned, time-stamped, and certified. Builders view progress photos and test results without leaving their desk.
Every system ships with remote monitoring. If a homeowner calls about slow Internet, CountBricks can diagnose port speeds and Wi-Fi interference before dispatching a truck—reducing warranty costs for builders and ensuring 5-star reviews.
• Average 30 % faster rough-in completion compared to projects without CountBricks coordination
• Less than 2 % callback rate in the first year after closing
• Document packages that meet the strictest green-building certifications in Austin
With CountBricks, computer networking Austin installations become predictable, profitable, and homeowner-friendly. Schedule your demo at CountBricks.com/services and start wiring the connected residences Central Texas demands.
