Austin’s adopted 2021 IRC and energy codes require specific U-factor and SHGC ratings. CountBricks automatically flags non-compliant selections and suggests insulated, low-E options that meet prescriptive paths. The platform also highlights wind-load requirements for homes west of Loop 360 where gusts can exceed 115 mph.

A 1970s split-level wanted brighter interiors. The contractor used the CountBricks voice interface to scope two 10’ x 8’ multi-slide doors. The homeowner approved the bid in under an hour. Material was ordered the same day, and installers referenced the digital punch list on their phones. From first call to final inspection, the project closed in 18 days—five days faster than the neighborhood average—saving the builder $1,350 in overhead.
