Natural gas and propane lines power everything from high-efficiency furnaces to gourmet kitchen ranges across Augusta, Montana. Yet even a minor leak can endanger lives, drain wallets, and halt renovations. That is why homeowners, remodelers, and custom builders continually choose CountBricks for precise, code-compliant gas piping installation. We combine licensed mechanical craftsmanship with our proprietary AI estimating platform to slash guesswork, accelerate schedules, and keep your project on budget.
• Safety first: Incorrect sizing or poorly sealed joints can lead to carbon monoxide buildup and fire hazards.
• Performance: Appliances starved for BTU supply run inefficiently, shortening service life and inflating utility bills.
• Code compliance: The International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) adopted by local authorities demands exact calculations for pipe diameter, material, and support spacing.
• Resale value: Professional, documented installation assures home inspectors and buyers that the property meets modern standards.
1. Realtime voice scoping: Using the CountBricks mobile app, you walk through the home and describe appliance locations. Our AI converts the conversation into a digital plan within seconds.
2. Instant line sizing & materials list: The platform references Montana’s altitude, local supply pressure, and appliance BTU ratings to recommend pipe diameters and approved materials such as corrugated stainless steel tubing (CSST) or black iron.
3. Transparent estimate: Labor hours, fittings, shut-off valves, regulators, and permit fees are itemized instantly. Clients can adjust scope live and see pricing update in real time.
4. Permit & scheduling: Our licensed master plumber submits sealed drawings to Augusta’s Building Division while our scheduling bot finds the earliest installation window that fits both crews and homeowners.
5. On-site execution: CountBricks technicians arrive with prefabricated pipe segments labeled from the AI takeoff, reducing cut time and material waste.
6. Pressure testing & inspection: Every system is pressurized to 1.5x working pressure and monitored for a minimum of 30 minutes before the municipal inspector signs off.
7. Digital close-out: Homeowners receive a PDF of pressure test logs, permits, and warranty information stored securely at CountBricks.com/portfolio for future reference.
• Black iron pipe: Time-tested durability; ideal for exposed basement runs.
• CSST: Flexible, fewer fittings, perfect for retrofits in finished walls.
• Polyethylene (PE) tubing: For underground exterior runs to standby generators or outdoor kitchens.
• Copper (Type L): Limited to propane only; excellent for tight crawl spaces when allowed by local code.
• Total BTU load and pipe diameter
• Length of run and number of appliance drops
• Accessibility of framing cavities
• Choice of material (CSST premiums vs. black iron labor hours)
• Permit and inspection fees set by Augusta city ordinances
Because no two homes are identical, CountBricks’ AI provides line-by-line pricing instead of industry averages, empowering homeowners to make data-driven decisions.
• Voice-to-estimate in minutes, not days
• Automated clash detection with existing plumbing and electrical lines
• Cloud-stored change orders for airtight documentation
• Integrated invoicing syncs directly with popular accounting software, eliminating duplicate data entry

We perform a flow and leak assessment. If pipe sizing and material meet current code, we integrate the line into the new design; otherwise, we recommend replacement.
