In Portland's competitive construction market, ensuring a reliable drywall supply is crucial for maintaining project timelines. Current drywall costs range from $650–$1,200 per opening, depending on specifications and supplier. CountBricks offers a seamless integration of real-time vendor feeds, AI blueprint takeoffs, and voice-driven estimating to ensure your sheetrock arrives on-site, on budget, and on time.
CountBricks tracks these variables in real time, automatically selecting appropriate board types and flagging potential shortages before they hit your schedule.
Every Portland builder has a horror story: a half-finished townhouse waiting a week for the last fifty sheets. The repercussions cascade—idle labor, rescheduled subs, annoyed homeowners, and loan interest ticking away. Traditional spreadsheets only update when someone remembers to open them. CountBricks eliminates that risk by tying live drywall supply Portland data directly into the estimate and schedule.
1. AI-Powered Blueprint Takeoffs
Upload your PDF set or speak through the plan during a CountBricks Live Session. Our engine quantifies every wall, ceiling, and soffit—then matches each area with the correct thickness, fire rating, or green board requirement.
2. Vendor-Synced Pricing
Because CountBricks is connected to leading regional distributors, you see current sheet pricing, delivery fees, and lead times inside the software. No more dialing yards for quotes.
3. Voice-First Change Management
Portland clients love last-minute design tweaks. Say "extend that kitchen wall by three feet," and CountBricks recalculates sheets, corner bead, compound, and labor seconds later.
4. Instant Documentation
Generate polished homeowner quotes and job-site pick lists with one click. All documents carry your logo and reference CountBricks.com for seamless client follow-up.
A recent CountBricks client building a seven-unit infill development shaved three working days off the schedule by locking in drywall orders early. Material waste dropped 8%, translating to a $2,400 savings—enough to upgrade every unit to level-5 finish yet still come in under budget.
Does CountBricks lock me into a single supplier?
No. You can pick from multiple vetted Portland distributors inside the app or load your own preferred account.
Can I integrate my accounting software?
Yes. Quick export to common accounting suites keeps books, estimates, and purchase orders synchronized.
What about remodels?
CountBricks excels at partial room takeoffs. Voice-note the change—"Add drywall to new half-bath"—and the system adjusts quantities and cost instantly.
When Rose City Builders planned a three-story duplex off SE Hawthorne, the firm faced two challenges: tight urban access and a six-week completion window. Traditional drywall supply Portland channels required multiple phone calls, manual PO creation, and on-site inventory guessing. Switching to CountBricks re-wrote the timeline.
The superintendent reported finishing hanging two days earlier than projected, freeing the crew for the next job and netting an additional $4,800 in labor revenue.
