When Horizon Homes broke ground on Greenfield Estate, a 27-lot subdivision, they chose CountBricks to streamline every plumbing fixture. The objective was bold—trim two days off the final punch list without increasing labor hours.
• AI Blueprint Takeoff: The platform detected three rough-in misalignments on Lot 12 before slab pour, preventing costly core drilling later.
• Voice-Driven Field Updates: Crews used smartphones to log flange heights and torque values. Data flowed back to the office in seconds, giving PMs live quality-control snapshots.
• Dynamic Scheduling: CountBricks grouped all “install toilet new construction” tasks across four lots per day. Travel time dropped, and plumbers stayed in one zone until complete.
1. All 27 toilets set, tested, and caulked 48 hours ahead of the critical path date
2. Zero inspection callbacks for leaks or code violations
3. Labor efficiency improved by 14 %, freeing the crew to tackle water-heater hookups early
• Early detection of plan conflicts keeps margins intact
• Centralized data eliminates “he said, she said” between field and office
• Task batching is the fastest way to gain whole-project days without overtime
