Keeping Your Remodel On Budget

- Consider matte porcelain tile that mimics marble; it saves $12–$18 per square foot without sacrificing style.
- Bundle electrical and smart-device installs; CountBricks negotiates volume discounts with certified integrators.
- Approve change orders through the CountBricks client portal to avoid miscommunications and costly delays.
Five Pro Tips From CountBricks Project Leads
- Opt for a counter-depth fridge; it preserves aisle space in narrow Queens kitchens.
- Install pull-out pantry units between studs for extra storage without expanding the footprint.
- Use under-cabinet lighting on motion sensors—energy bills drop while evening ambiance rises.
- Select a single neutral grout for backsplash and floor to visually enlarge the room.
- Schedule DOB inspections on Tuesdays; data shows fastest sign-offs mid-week.

CountBricks Case Snapshot: Astoria Galley Goes Gourmet
When the Ramirez family bought their pre-war co-op in Astoria, the original galley kitchen measured just 7' x 9'. Using CountBricks’ AI takeoff tool, we discovered that by relocating the range to the opposite wall and opening a non-load-bearing section, we could create a peninsula that added 12 square feet of counter space.
Project Highlights
- Timeline: 21 working days from demolition to final DOB sign-off
- Budget: $27,800—locked on day one and delivered within 1.5% variance
- Materials: Stock shaker cabinets, recycled glass countertops, low-profile ductless hood
- Tech Integrations: Wi-Fi dimmers and leak-sensing shut-off valves connected to the CountBricks Home app
How CountBricks Made It Happen
- Real-Time Pricing: Our platform flagged a pending increase on recycled glass slabs and auto-recommended purchasing within 48 hours, saving $780.
- Board Package Automation: CountBricks auto-filled the co-op’s alteration agreement with scope, insurance certificates, and waste-hauling plans—approval arrived in a single review cycle.
- Predictive Scheduling: We sequenced electrical rough-in before plumbing to accommodate DOB inspector availability, shaving two days off the critical path.
Lessons You Can Apply
- Early material commitments protect your budget in volatile markets.
- Digital board packages reduce friction for multi-unit buildings.
- Data-driven sequencing keeps small kitchens from overrunning timelines.
