The residential market is unforgiving. Lumber prices swing by the hour, homeowners demand same-day quotes, and municipalities tighten permitting windows. Relying on spreadsheets or generic software slows you down and chips away at margin. A live CountBricks demo shows how real-time voice capture, AI-driven takeoffs, and instant material pricing give you the speed edge you need to win more profitable work.
Picture this: You’re on-site with a homeowner and the framing crew lead. Instead of scribbling measurements, you open the CountBricks mobile app. The client describes the kitchen bump-out, you speak measurements aloud, and the platform converts every word into line-item tasks priced against today’s supplier feeds. Before the walk-through ends, CountBricks emails a branded quote that’s ready for e-signature. That’s the power demonstrated in a CountBricks demo.

CountBricks isn’t a one-size-fits-all template. During your demo we begin training the engine on the way you build.
1. You share two or three completed estimates in any format—PDF, Excel, or accounting export.
2. Our onboarding bot scans task descriptions, cost codes, and supplier SKUs.
3. Machine learning groups similar line items and suggests standardized assemblies.
4. A CountBricks specialist reviews every suggestion with you to confirm labor units and waste factors.
• Faster voice entry because you use your own terminology
• Consistent margins across all estimators on your team
• Seamless export to scheduling and accounting systems that already use your cost codes
Elite Homes ran three estimators, each with a different spreadsheet. After migrating to CountBricks, they unified 400+ unique tasks into 87 smart assemblies. Estimating time dropped 58 %, change order disputes fell to zero, and the team reclaimed eight billable hours per week. Explore additional success stories at CountBricks.com/portfolio.
• Start with your highest-volume assembly—framing or drywall—then expand
• Invite field supervisors to the demo so voice commands match site language
• Use CountBricks’ margin tracker to verify profit targets before sending quotes
