An up-to-date insulation quote is the starting point for every energy-efficient home. At CountBricks, we combine on-site voice capture, AI material databases, and blueprint takeoffs to deliver numbers homeowners and contractors can trust. Instead of juggling spreadsheets, labor tables, and supplier calls, you simply talk through the project and let our platform do the math. The result is a clear, line-item estimate that lets you order fiberglass batts, blow-in cellulose, or closed-cell spray foam with confidence—often before you leave the jobsite.
• Energy codes tighten every year, and missing R-value targets can derail inspections
• Material prices fluctuate weekly, so outdated quotes eat into profit or force change orders
• Homeowners use competitive insulation quotes to pick contractors; accuracy builds trust
• Detailed quotes help lenders approve renovation budgets faster, keeping schedules on track
Manual takeoffs on printed plans lead to rounded guesses. Measurements scribbled in trucks get lost. By the time the office pulls local supplier pricing, the client has already moved on. CountBricks eliminates these pain points with real-time voice estimating and direct feeds from regional material vendors.
