Sacramento’s housing boom has stretched material yards and contractor calendars alike. When your remodel or ground-up build hinges on thousands of square feet of gypsum board, guessing is costly. CountBricks combines real-time voice capture, live material pricing and AI-powered takeoffs to keep every sheet of drywall, each box of screws and every roll of tape perfectly aligned with your residential construction schedule.
Sacramento’s hot summers and damp winters create expansion and contraction cycles that punish poorly specified drywall. Homeowners expect flawless finishes, and city inspectors demand fire-ratings that match ever-evolving codes. CountBricks’ estimating engine automatically maps local code tables and climate data to ensure you order the right type—whether 5/8” Type X for a garage separation wall or mold-resistant board for a Tahoe Park bathroom.
• Standard 1/2″ gypsum board for living areas
• 5/8″ Type X fire-rated sheets for attached garages and multifamily separations
• Mold and moisture-resistant greenboard for kitchens, baths and laundry rooms
• Lightweight panels that reduce crew fatigue on two-story infill projects
• Sound-attenuating drywall for home offices and ADU rental units
1. Sheet size versus waste: CountBricks calculates board lengths that fit truck beds and minimize onsite cuts.
2. Fastener counts: Overspend on screws and you shrink margins; underspend and you risk failures. Our algorithm balances code spacing with actual wall stud layouts.
3. Delivery staging: Downtown lots lack laydown space. CountBricks schedules phased drops so you pay only for what you can store.
Traditional blueprint takeoffs chew up evenings and weekends. With CountBricks, site supervisors simply speak room dimensions into a phone or upload a PDF. The AI instantly:
• Converts speech or drawings into square footage
• Suggests the optimal board type based on room use
• Adds joint compound, corner bead, backing and adhesive in one click
• Syncs live pricing from Sacramento supplier networks so your budgets reflect today’s numbers, not last quarter’s flyer
1. Capture: Discuss scope with our AI estimator in real time.
2. Calculate: Automated engine generates a full materials list with waste factors built in.
3. Confirm: Review quantities on the CountBricks dashboard, then lock pricing.
4. Coordinate: We notify partnered local yards for timed drop-offs at your site.
5. Invoice: CountBricks creates branded invoices that sync directly to your accounting software.
• Order by the lift, not the sheet, when projects exceed 200 boards—yard discounts kick in automatically through CountBricks.
• Swap to lightweight panels on second-floor retrofits; labor savings often exceed the slight material premium.
• Bundle acoustic sealant and corner bead to hit free-delivery thresholds shown on your CountBricks dashboard.
• Schedule deliveries before 10 a.m. to avoid peak traffic fees on I-80—our logistics tool suggests optimal time slots.
• Track change orders inside CountBricks.com/services to prevent over-ordering when homeowners shift layouts late.
A 1920s Craftsman required 1,400 sq ft of new interior walls plus fire separation to a converted garage. The GC spoke dimensions into the CountBricks mobile app while walking the property. Within five minutes he received:
• A materials list with 82 sheets of 1/2″, 24 sheets of 5/8″ Type X, and all finishing compounds
• A phased delivery schedule to suit limited curbside space
• A cost-saving recommendation to upgrade to lightweight board upstairs, shaving two labor hours per day
The project finished a week early and 4% under budget, directly attributed to CountBricks’ precise drywall supply planning.
Whether you’re framing a pocket-sized ADU in Oak Park or a 5,000 sq ft custom home in Granite Bay, CountBricks keeps your drywall supply in Sacramento accurate, on time and on budget.

Sacramento County amends the California Residential Code with stricter fire-rating requirements in attached garages and multifamily corridors. Missing those details can trigger costly re-inspections. CountBricks keeps your crew compliant without lifting a code book.
• County-specific code tables update nightly inside CountBricks.com/services
• The AI cross-references wall location with occupancy type to suggest 1-hour or 2-hour assemblies
• Moisture-risk zones pull from NOAA data, prompting mold-resistant boards in flood-prone basements
1. Always overhang Type X boards 1/2″ past joists on garage ceilings—CountBricks highlights this in install notes.
2. Use adhesive plus screws on walls shared with mechanical rooms; vibration can back out fasteners.
3. On summer installs, schedule board delivery after noon so conditioned spaces reduce ambient moisture before hanging.
An ADU addition required STC-rated party walls due to rental occupancy. CountBricks specified double-layer 5/8″ with Green Glue between layers, delivered as a packaged kit. The framing crew followed our step-by-step PDF, hitting a 55 STC rating on the first inspection.
• Voice-first estimating slashes office hours and accelerates client sign-off
• Integrated supplier network secures same-day board availability even during high-demand seasons
• Automated documentation—estimates, takeoffs, delivery slips and invoices—keeps project files audit-ready
