Over the past five years, residential neighborhoods across Fort Worth have seen a steady rise in smart-home upgrades. At the top of the wish list sits one feature: security cameras. From new builds in the Cultural District to historic renovations in Ryan Place, homeowners want real-time visibility, insurance savings, and added peace of mind. CountBricks is meeting that demand with an end-to-end workflow that streamlines budgeting, blueprint takeoffs, and installation scheduling—all from a single voice conversation.
Traditional estimating methods require multiple site visits, handwritten notes, and manual spreadsheet calculations. CountBricks eliminates the lag by converting a contractor’s spoken walkthrough into a detailed line-item estimate within minutes.
