The North Texas climate begs for outdoor living. A professionally installed Dallas concrete patio gives homeowners a durable, on-trend space to grill, entertain and relax year-round. Yet too many projects stall because estimates are slow, prices shift and communication breaks down. CountBricks eliminates those frustrations. Our AI-driven platform captures real-time voice conversations, generates detailed takeoffs, and delivers locked-in numbers before your client’s coffee cools.
• Handles extreme heat without warping
• Requires minimal upkeep compared to wood decking
• Endless finishes: stamped, stained, broom, exposed aggregate
• Budget-friendly price per square foot for residential builds
• Adds instant resale value in competitive DFW neighborhoods
1. Contractors walk the site and scribble notes that get lost.
2. Office staff spend hours pricing rebar, mix designs and labor.
3. By the time the quote reaches the homeowner, material costs have changed.
The result? Lost jobs and thinner margins.

• Patio size: Average installs range 300–600 sq ft in DFW backyards
• Thickness: 4 in. standard slab vs. 6 in. for hot tub or outdoor kitchen loads
• Sub-base prep: Soil in Dallas county often requires 4-in. compacted gravel
• Reinforcement: Wire mesh vs. #3 rebar grid changes price per square foot
• Decorative finish: Expect a 15–25 % premium for stamped or stained designs
• Access: Tight alleys may need pump trucks, raising equipment costs

Day-to-day residential construction rarely goes exactly to plan, but CountBricks keeps Dallas patio projects on schedule and on budget. Here’s how a typical 400 sq ft install unfolds inside the platform.
1. Capture Scope: On site, the contractor dictates slab dimensions, drainage slope and a request for integral color. CountBricks instantly registers the audio and fills the project dashboard.
2. AI Takeoff: The attached backyard sketch is analyzed for perimeter length, total cubic yards and expansion joint count. No manual scaling required.
3. Real-Time Costing: The system pings preferred Dallas suppliers for today’s 3,500 psi mix, 6 mil poly and rebar bundles, then applies the contractor’s labor rate profile.
4. Client Proposal: A branded PDF with a 3-D patio rendering—generated by CountBricks’ visualization engine—arrives in the homeowner’s inbox within ten minutes.
5. Build Schedule: Once accepted, tasks auto-populate: excavation, formwork, inspection, pour, finish, cure. Crews receive notifications through the mobile app.
6. Final Invoice: Because every cost was tracked in real time, the final invoice pushes to the client with one click, matching the original quote line for line.
