Whether you’re pouring a new driveway in Bernal Heights or upgrading a Nob Hill patio, every residential concrete decision comes down to one number: concrete cost per square foot—often shortened to “concrete sf.” Understanding concrete sf lets San Francisco homeowners balance budget, strength, and curb appeal before the first truck rolls up. CountBricks specializes in turning that one metric into a full-scope plan, complete with real-time material pricing, labor benchmarks, and ready-to-sign quotes.
AI Voice Capture on Site
Our mobile app records your spoken measurements—“220 square feet, four-inch slab, 3,000-psi mix”—and instantly translates them into line-item estimates.
Live Material Feeds
CountBricks taps regional suppliers for up-to-the-minute concrete yard rates, reinforcement costs, and waste factors, ensuring your concrete sf stays accurate—even when cement prices fluctuate.
Blueprint Takeoffs in Seconds
Upload a PDF plan and watch CountBricks outline every slab and footing. The AI highlights square footage, thickness, and formwork so no dimension gets missed.
1. Surface Area (sq ft) × Thickness (in) ÷ 12 = Volume (cu ft)
2. Volume ÷ 27 = Cubic Yards Required
3. Cubic Yards × Current Yard Price = Concrete Cost
4. Add Reinforcement, Finish, Prep, and Pump Fees = Total Project Cost
5. Divide Total Project Cost by Surface Area = Concrete SF
• Basic broom-finish slab: $10 – $14 per sf
• Colored or stamped driveway: $18 – $26 per sf
• Structural podium deck: $30 – $40 per sf
• High-end terrazzo or exposed aggregate: $35 – $55 per sf
Note: Prices reflect Q2 2025 live data from CountBricks.com/services. Market volatility, hillside access, and HOA requirements can shift costs. Use our AI estimator for a project-specific number.
• Schedule pours mid-week when pump rates are lower
• Opt for broom finish in utility areas and decorative treatments only where they add real value
• Combine multiple small slabs into one pour to reduce short-load penalties
• Use CountBricks volume-based supplier discounts—shown automatically in your estimate
• Confirm rebar spacing on CountBricks.com/portfolio examples to avoid over-reinforcement
A homeowner needed a 420 sf, 5-inch slab for an accessory dwelling unit. Traditional bids varied from $11,000 to $14,500—a confusing $26-$34 concrete sf spread. Using CountBricks:
1. Voice-captured measurements created a digital slab model in 2 minutes.
2. Live supplier feeds quoted $222 per cubic yard—$17 less than the average phone quote.
3. AI highlighted an overlooked trench drain that would have added 14 sf of formwork.
Final signed contract: $9,870 or $23.50 concrete sf, saving the client over 20 % and two weeks of back-and-forth emails.
