In a city where every square foot matters, a well-designed pergola can turn an ordinary Manhattan backyard, rooftop, or brownstone courtyard into a year-round sanctuary. CountBricks combines AI estimating technology with decades of residential construction know-how to deliver stunning pergolas that add shade, architectural character, and resale value—without the guesswork.
• Escape the concrete jungle without leaving home
• Increase usable outdoor living space for dining, yoga, or entertaining
• Boost property value with a feature buyers recognize as premium
• Comply with local zoning by opting for an open-air structure rather than a full addition
Urban residential projects encounter hurdles rarely seen in suburban builds. Tight alleyway deliveries, limited staging areas, and strict noise ordinances all inflate risk and cost. CountBricks tackles these challenges head-on by generating real-time material lists, labor schedules, and cost scenarios the moment you describe your dream pergola over the phone. Our software instantly factors in borough-specific permits, landmark restrictions, and freight surcharges, so you get a rock-solid number—not a ballpark guess.

CountBricks’ AI cross-references wind maps and snow loads while you describe your design, ensuring the proposal is not only beautiful but also fully compliant—saving weeks of redesign later.
• Annual sealing for wood species extends lifespan by 8–12 years

When a Midtown couple approached CountBricks to create a private dining nook atop their five-story co-op, space and schedule were non-negotiable. Using our AI blueprint takeoff tool, we mapped HVAC units, parapet walls, and allowable live loads in under 20 minutes. The software recommended a lightweight cedar-and-aluminum hybrid frame, reducing crane weight by 18 percent and saving $2,700 in rigging fees.
• Permit approval in 9 business days thanks to pre-validated structural calculations
