In residential construction, margins are razor thin and timelines are unforgiving. Home Depot volume pricing—discounted rates on bulk material purchases—can swing a project from break-even to profitable. Yet many small and mid-size builders leave thousands of dollars on the table because the discounts are hard to track, manually intensive, or activated too late in the buying cycle. CountBricks solves that problem by injecting real-time Home Depot volume pricing into every material line item the moment you speak it into our estimating engine.
• Purchases over roughly $1,500 often qualify for tiered price breaks that average 6 – 12 % per SKU
• Savings scale rapidly when multiple trades combine orders under a single quote
• Consistency is key—Home Depot’s system rewards contractors who hit volume thresholds project after project
• Walking the aisles with paper quotes, only to find prices updated overnight
• Faxing or emailing material lists and waiting hours for an adjusted bid
• Reconciling change orders against dated pricing sheets weeks after the fact
CountBricks is purpose-built for residential contractors. Our AI listens to your site walk-through or blueprint review, converts it into a structured bill of materials, and then pings live Home Depot volume pricing APIs. The result is instant, discount-adjusted numbers delivered before your client has left the conference table.
• Lumber, drywall, roofing, fixtures—every commodity syncs to the exact store location you specify
