Walk-in layouts, frameless glass, integrated benches, and dual rain heads have transformed the humble shower into the focal point of the contemporary bath. Homeowners now ask their builders for a 'grand shower' more often than a whirlpool tub, and the trend shows no signs of slowing. At CountBricks, we help residential contractors capture this opportunity with AI-powered estimating, blueprint takeoffs, and real-time cost control—so every grand shower is profitable as well as beautiful.
Uncertainty around labor hours, waterproofing systems, and custom glass has stalled many bathroom remodels. CountBricks eliminates guesswork by capturing your scope during a live voice conversation, matching it against our residential construction task library, and producing an instant line-item estimate. Materials—from Schluter shower pans to matte-black fixtures—pull pricing in real time, so you can lock a grand shower budget before demolition begins.
Traditional spreadsheets treat 'shower install' as a single number. CountBricks breaks it into granular tasks—pan setting, linear drain install, bench framing, and more—so your crew hours are transparent and trackable. If you choose a different drain style mid-conversation, the platform automatically updates both material cost and labor productivity factors. This precision protects your margin even when the homeowner upgrades to that oversized quartz bench at the last second.
A Grand Rapids remodeler recently used CountBricks on a 5 × 8 bath conversion. The AI estimate highlighted a $450 overage in specialty waterproofing tapes the contractor had missed. By catching it before ordering, the team substituted stock rolls and maintained the client’s budget. The project closed on schedule, earning a five-star review and an 18% gross margin—proof that smart data can be as valuable as skilled labor on grand shower builds.
Many residential builders still spend evenings clicking shower wall square footage in CAD. CountBricks AI takeoffs read your PDF plans, detect wet-area boundaries, and output tile coverage, linear drain lengths, and niche counts in minutes. Adjust tile size or orientation and the quantities refresh instantly—giving you the confidence to order exactly what the installer needs, no more and no less.
CountBricks exports every grand shower task to your preferred scheduling app or you can manage it directly in the dashboard. Color-coded timelines show when tile setters, glass fabricators, and electricians overlap, preventing the common one-day gaps that stretch a project into weeks. Homeowners receive automated status emails, reducing the daily 'when will my shower be done?' phone calls.
When the homeowner steps into their new grand shower for the first time, you’re ready to send the final invoice immediately. CountBricks converts approved change orders, actual material receipts, and tracked labor hours into a polished document branded with your logo. Payment links and financing options can be embedded, accelerating cash flow so you can move on to the next project sooner.
