General bookkeeping platforms capture dollars, but they seldom capture studs, drywall sheets, or the unique cash-flow realities of progress payments. Residential contractors juggle deposits, retainage, allowances, purchase orders, and rapid material price swings. CountBricks home builder accounting software bakes construction logic into every ledger entry, giving field teams and bookkeepers the same up-to-date picture.
Managing a kitchen remodel, a multi-lot subdivision, and a punch-list service call—all in one week—creates hundreds of data points. When those figures live in disconnected spreadsheets, profit disappears in the gaps. CountBricks eliminates that gap with a single platform that listens to you on site, turns spoken measurements into line-item estimates, and syncs those numbers straight into project financials.
• Real-time voice estimation that converts conversations into cost codes
• Live material pricing from regional suppliers for accurate budgeting
• Task-level labor benchmarks tied to your crews’ actual productivity
• Automated change-order generation with instant client e-sign capability
• Progress invoicing aligned with AIA or custom residential schedules
• Two-way QuickBooks Online sync to keep your CPA smiling
• Dashboard KPIs highlighting over-budget cost codes before they balloon
Blueprint takeoffs often mark the moment where accuracy derails. CountBricks AI reads PDFs, counts framing members, and routes quantities directly into the estimate. Because the estimate and accounting engine share the same database, your budget vs. actual report updates the moment a PO is issued. No exports, no re-keying, no missed markup.

Oakridge Custom Homes struggled with manual change-order tracking that left $25,000 per quarter unbilled. After adopting CountBricks home builder accounting software, every field-signed change order triggered an automatic invoice draft. Within the first six months, Oakridge recaptured $61,300 in previously lost revenue while cutting bookkeeping hours by 30%.
Many platforms promise “all-in-one” solutions, yet still require third-party add-ons for core tasks like blueprint takeoff. CountBricks owns the entire workflow—voice, vision, and validating numbers—so residential builders keep their focus on framing walls, not framing spreadsheets.
If your crew is still stitching together estimating apps, cost spreadsheets, and generic accounting packages, it’s time for an upgrade. Explore detailed feature sheets at CountBricks.com/services or book a live demo to see voice estimation and accounting in action. Your margins will thank you.
• Map your current chart of accounts to CountBricks cost codes before the first upload. Clear alignment prevents duplicate categories and messy reports.
• Turn on supplier price notifications. When lumber spikes overnight, your open estimates adjust automatically—protecting profit without manual edits.
• Use the mobile voice capture during site walks. Spoken notes instantly convert to potential change-orders, so nothing gets forgotten back at the trailer.
• Schedule weekly budget reviews from the Project Dashboard. Early warnings on over-budget tasks allow swift crew reassignments or supplier negotiation.
• Connect CountBricks purchase orders to your preferred delivery app. Foremen receive push alerts when materials arrive, tightening schedule coordination.
