Every successful project starts with a clear plan. CountBricks replaces scribbled notes and vague budgets with real-time voice consultation and instant AI calculations. Here is how our residential team guides you from concept to completion:
1. Live Voice Walk-Through: Speak with a CountBricks specialist while standing in your yard. Our app converts the conversation into actionable line items.
2. AI Blueprint Takeoff: Upload a site plan or snap a photo. CountBricks auto-measures distances and slopes to find the optimal fountain location and utilities route.
3. Instant Estimate Generation: Materials, equipment, labor hours, permits, and disposal fees are priced in seconds using local vendor databases that refresh daily.
4. Digital Design Preview: Receive a 3-D rendering alongside your estimate so you can visualize height, basin shape, and splash radius before a shovel hits the soil.
5. One-Click Approval & Scheduling: Sign digitally, choose your start date, and track milestones inside the CountBricks client portal.
Pricing ranges from a few thousand dollars for a prefabricated patio fountain to five-figure custom masonry statements. Understanding the variables helps you set a realistic budget:
• Size & Complexity: Larger basins, tiered bowls, integrated lighting, or sculptures increase material and labor hours.
• Material Selection: Cast stone, natural granite, fiberglass, or copper each carry different price tags and maintenance profiles.
• Site Conditions: Excavation through rocky soil, relocating irrigation lines, or adding a dedicated GFCI circuit can raise costs.
• Water Management: Recirculating pumps, filtration systems, and automatic fillers protect water quality and reduce upkeep.
Pro Tip: Use the CountBricks app to test multiple design scenarios side-by-side. You will see live price variances as you swap materials or dimensions, making value engineering easy.
• Level & Compact the Base: A stable subgrade prevents future tilting or cracking.
• Integrate Drainage: Weep holes, gravel layers, and french drains keep the foundation dry even during heavy rains.
• Isolate Vibrations: Rubber pads under the pump housing eliminate hum that could travel into the house structure.
• Seal & Cure Properly: We apply waterproof admixtures and allow full cure time before filling to maximize longevity.
• Test Pump Flow: Adjust valves for gentler cascades that reduce splash loss and energy consumption.
CountBricks offers optional service plans that include seasonal cleaning, pump inspection, and winterizing. Homeowners who prefer a DIY approach can follow these guidelines:
• Skim debris weekly to prevent algae growth
• Top up water during hot months to maintain pump submersion
• Add eco-friendly clarifiers instead of harsh chemicals
• Drain and cover before first freeze to protect piping
Transparent Pricing: Our AI engine itemizes every bolt and bag of sand. What you approve is what you pay.
Speed & Accuracy: Voice-to-estimate technology cuts preconstruction time by 70 %, allowing earlier groundbreakings.
Local Expertise: CountBricks crews live where they work, understand regional codes, and source from nearby suppliers to keep costs tight.
Integrated Documentation: Permits, inspection photos, and invoices live in one portal—no more paper folders.
Post-Project Support: From pump upgrades to landscape lighting add-ons, our team remains a call away.
