The average homeowner used to replace counters once every 20 years. Today, design-savvy clients refresh kitchens in half that time, creating a steady stream of countertop jobs up for bids. Add the booming resale market in many suburbs and you have thousands of granite, quartz, and solid-surface projects competing for qualified residential contractors. Winning those bids quickly and profitably is no longer optional—it is the difference between surviving and scaling.
• Slow, manual takeoffs delay delivery of the price and let faster competitors slip in
• Guessing at real-time material pricing erodes margins when suppliers adjust rates overnight
• Generic quote templates fail to impress design-focused homeowners
• Inaccurate scope sheets trigger costly change orders once fabrication begins
• Poor communication between estimator, fabricator, and installer leads to measurable waste
CountBricks brings voice-driven AI estimating to residential construction. Instead of juggling spreadsheets, you open the CountBricks app, speak the room dimensions, edge style, backsplash height, and sink cutouts. Our engine instantly converts that conversation into an iron-clad estimate—complete with current slab pricing from partnered suppliers—all before you leave the homeowner’s driveway.
1. Speak or upload the kitchen plan—no typing required
2. AI measures all surfaces, seams, and overhangs to generate a precision takeoff

Fabrication waste dropped 6 % thanks to the AI takeoff, and the contractor pocketed an additional $1,200 in protected margin.

Many contractors focus solely on the kitchen. Upload the full architectural PDF to CountBricks and let AI surface vanity tops, laundry counters, and outdoor bar areas hidden in the plans. Bundling these spaces:
• Increases average ticket size without extra trips
• Gives homeowners a cohesive design palette they can’t resist
• Spreads fabrication setup costs across more square footage for higher profit
Use the CountBricks material library to group slabs, backsplash tile, and edge profiles into a single SKU. When you finalize the bid, reserve the inventory through your supplier API, preventing frustrating back-orders that derail schedules.
The majority of countertop jobs up for bids are lost in silence. CountBricks automatically sends personalized reminders at 24 and 72 hours, attaching the proposal and a quick-sign button. Contractors report a 19 % jump in acceptance rates after enabling the sequence.
