When you live in New York City, every square foot of space and every minute of downtime matters. Outdated or improperly sized wiring can stall renovations, trigger failed inspections, or worse—compromise safety. CountBricks brings the city’s most advanced blend of real-time AI estimating and seasoned field expertise to ensure your project moves from permit to power-on without surprises.
Voice-Driven AI Estimates
Speak your scope once and our platform instantly populates labor, material quantities, and today’s commodity pricing. No more chasing spreadsheets—just accurate numbers you can act on.
NYC Code Mastery
Our licensed electricians and plan examiners have navigated every edition of the NYC Electrical Code. We proactively flag amperage, conduit fill, and FDNY clearance issues before they reach the inspector’s desk.
Integrated Blueprint Takeoffs
Upload a PDF or snap a photo of your floor plan. CountBricks AI extracts circuits, panel schedules, and device counts in seconds, giving you a 3D view of cost hot-spots.
• Pre-war walls that hide decaying cloth-sheathed cable
• Limited riser capacity in high-rise co-ops
• Landmark district rules restricting conduit runs on façades
• Space restrictions that demand low-profile smart panels
• Tight DOB inspection calendars that penalize reschedules
1. Voice Scope Call: You outline rooms, loads, and finish dates. CountBricks captures every detail and auto-generates an itemized estimate within minutes.
2. Digital Walkthrough: Our technician uses a tablet to map circuit paths, joist cavities, and chase routes, syncing photos directly to CountBricks.com/portfolio for your review.
3. Permit & Planning: We draft filings, load calculations, and energy code forms. You receive status alerts through your CountBricks dashboard.
4. Demolition & Rough-In: Old wiring is safely removed, new NM-B, MC, or conduit is installed, and box locations are laser-measured for millimeter accuracy.
5. Inspection & Close-Up: A CountBricks supervisor meets the inspector, resolves red-tags on the spot, and releases drywall crews the same day.
6. Trim-Out & Testing: Devices, smart switches, and AFCI/GFCI breakers are installed. We megger-test every circuit and hand you a digital certificate of compliance.
• Copper pricing: Our software refreshes commodity costs hourly, locking in savings when the market dips.
• Smart home upgrades: Voice-controlled dimmers and energy-monitoring panels add roughly 8 % to upfront cost but slash utility bills long-term.
• Fire-rated cabling: Required in mixed-use buildings, this specialty cable can triple material costs—CountBricks forecasts the impact before you approve the job.
Full-Apartment Rewire (1,000 sq ft, pre-war): $18,500–$24,000
Panel Upgrade to 200 A: $3,200–$4,400
EV Charger Circuit (40 A): $1,100–$1,650
These figures include labor, materials, permits, and CountBricks project management. Use our free calculator at CountBricks.com/services to fine-tune numbers to your square footage and fixture count.
• Label every neutral and ground in the panel for the inspector’s thermal camera.
• Mount temporary lighting on GFCI pigtails so finish work can continue during rough-in checks.
• Photograph concealed splices before covering—CountBricks automatically timestamps and stores them for DOB review.
• Schedule inspections for mid-week mornings; Friday afternoons have the highest reschedule rate.
• Use color-coded staples to differentiate low-voltage runs and 120 V circuits, speeding visual checks.
A 1901 brownstone in Park Slope needed a complete electrical overhaul during a gut renovation. CountBricks imported the architect’s PDFs, produced a voice-confirmed estimate in 12 minutes, and shaved two weeks off the schedule by bundling demo and rough-in crews. The homeowner received a live budget dashboard, tracking copper price swings that ultimately saved $1,850 on material buys.
Whether you’re expanding a Tribeca loft or adding an EV charger in Queens, CountBricks couples AI speed with master-electrician precision. Visit CountBricks.com/consultation or start a voice chat in the app to lock in your wiring plan today.
Change orders are the silent budget killers of NYC renovations. Hidden knob-and-tube, undersized panels, or surprise conduit detours can inflate costs by 10 %–20 %. CountBricks attacks the problem before it starts.
The moment a floor plan is uploaded, our algorithm overlays proposed conduit paths onto existing plumbing and HVAC runs. If a chase is overcrowded or a soffit is already claimed by ductwork, the platform flags the conflict and suggests alternate routes—long before a single wall is opened.
• Copper and PVC prices sync hourly with supplier feeds.
• When you approve an estimate, CountBricks auto-generates purchase orders to lock quantities at that moment’s rate.
• Should prices drop before delivery, savings are passed back as a line-item credit, not pocketed as margin.
1. Crews receive mobile alerts when inspection windows open.
2. Slack time between trades is auto-compressed, reducing idle days.
3. Completion percentages feed dashboards you can view on CountBricks.com/portfolio, so you always know which room is ready for paint and which still needs a trim-out.
A homeowner in Astoria wanted a Level-2 charger but feared Con-Ed upgrade costs. Using utility load APIs, CountBricks projected the actual demand increase and proved the existing 200 A service was sufficient. Total turnaround: one site visit, zero change orders, and a final invoice within 1 % of the original voice estimate.
