Austin’s booming housing market keeps homeowners searching for reliable partners who can deliver flawless finishes and transparent budgets. When it comes to drywall, small miscalculations ripple into visible seams, costly re-work, and schedule overruns. CountBricks eliminates those risks by combining local trade knowledge with AI-powered estimating and blueprint takeoffs. Whether you are renovating a Clarksville bungalow or framing a new build in Circle C, our platform generates real-time material lists, tasks, and labor costs the moment you say “add drywall.”
Central Texas humidity swings and cedar pollen put added stress on gypsum boards and joint compounds. CountBricks specifications account for:
• Moisture-resistant board for exterior walls and bathrooms
• Lightweight 1/2″ panels that reduce framing load on pier-and-beam foundations
• Acrylic, mold-inhibiting mud mixes that cure properly during spring rain spells
Austin code inspectors pay special attention to fire-rated assemblies along shared walls and garage ceilings. Our AI database references the latest IRC and City of Austin amendments, alerting you when Type X 5/8″ sheets or double-layer assemblies are required. That means fewer red tags and quicker Certificate of Occupancy sign-offs.
1. Sheet Count and Waste Factor 2. Level of Finish (Level 3 for garages, Level 5 for luxury interiors) 3. Ceiling Height and Architectural Details 4. Demolition or Overlay Requirements in Remodels 5. Market Labor Rates and Seasonal Demand

Say “Calculate drywall for 2,400 sq ft custom home” into CountBricks, and you instantly get sheet counts, tape lengths, mud pails, screws, and man-hours—plus a live cost breakdown that updates as material prices shift in Austin suppliers’ databases.
1. Import the architect’s PDF or speak dimensions to our voice assistant. 2. AI auto-detects wall types, ceiling heights, and soffits. 3. Confirm room finishes, fire ratings, and moisture zones. 4. Receive a ready-to-send homeowner quote branded with your logo. 5. Push one button to convert the quote into a purchase order and job schedule.
• Order 10 % extra board when performing fall installs—humidity swells sheets and increases breakage.
• Choose fiberglass tape for remodels where existing studs may have slight movement.
• Upgrade to Level 5 finish in rooms with south-facing windows; harsh sunlight highlights imperfections.
• Budget an extra day for compound cure during February cold snaps; CountBricks scheduling flags potential delays.
• Log field changes in the CountBricks mobile app to auto-adjust your final invoice.

• The platform auto-calculates additional labor days and paint gallons based on wall square footage already captured in your drywall takeoff.
• Combine baseboard and crown moulding profiles chosen by the client; CountBricks suggests optimal cut lengths to minimize waste.
