Homeowners are asking for larger, uninterrupted surfaces that look custom-installed yet fit within tight renovation timelines. “Mass tile”––the practice of ordering, cutting, and installing floor tile in large, precisely calculated batches––has become the answer. With CountBricks’ AI-driven estimate engine and voice-to-plan workflow, residential contractors can deliver mass tile projects faster, cleaner, and more profitably than ever.
• Scale: Instead of calculating room by room, CountBricks aggregates square footage across every space to minimize waste and maximize bulk discounts.
• Speed: Digital takeoffs and on-site voice commands convert field measurements into instant tile counts and layout maps.
• Consistency: A single production run means dye lots, texture, and thickness stay uniform across the entire home.
• Budget Control: Real-time pricing sourced by CountBricks locks in material costs before crews arrive.
1. Speak your walkthrough – CountBricks records dimensions and obstacles while you move from space to space.
2. AI blueprint takeoff – Our engine links voice notes to your uploaded plans and generates an interactive tile coverage map.
3. Dynamic wastage factor – Algorithms adjust overage percentages by room complexity, pattern choice, and trim requirements.
4. Live pricing – CountBricks.com/services pulls distributor costs every 15 minutes to keep your quote accurate at sign-off.
5. Instant proposal – The platform exports a branded scope, schedule, and payment schedule ready for your client’s e-signature.
• Porcelain Planks: Ideal for open-concept living areas seeking hardwood aesthetics with water resistance.
• Large-Format Ceramic: Perfect for bathrooms where fewer grout lines simplify cleaning.
• Engineered Stone Composite: Adds durability to high-traffic mudrooms without the weight of natural stone.
• Patterned Cement Tile: Creates visual interest on entries while benefiting from bulk cutting in mass tile workflows.
• Subfloor Precision: Laser levels linked to CountBricks mobile verify tolerance before the first trowel of thin-set.
• Dry Layout by Zone: Crews unbox a day’s worth of tile only, using QR-coded cartons that match the CountBricks layout.
• Expansion Joint Planning: AI prompts include required gaps per ANSI standards, reducing callbacks.
• Real-Time Progress Tracking: Supervisors update square footage installed; CountBricks auto-adjusts projected completion dates.
2,000 sq ft suburban remodel using 24″×24″ porcelain
• Tile material (bulk lot): $4.25/sq ft
• Adhesives & leveling: $0.55/sq ft
• Labor (crew of 3): $3.10/sq ft
• Waste & overage (7%): $0.30/sq ft
Total Installed Cost: $8.20/sq ft via CountBricks mass tile workflow
Traditional room-by-room ordering on the same project averaged $9.60/sq ft, proving the efficiency of mass tile estimation.
• Pair “running bond” patterns with rectified edges to hide minimal grout lines on large spaces.
• Use self-leveling underlayment in bulk; ordering pallets alongside tile reduces delivery fees.
• Schedule drywall sanding before tile delivery to avoid airborne dust settling into open cartons.
• Label pallets by floor level so the heaviest loads stay closest to their final location.
• Capture daily voice notes; CountBricks automatically archives them to your project log for warranty records.
CountBricks links its estimate to parallel scopes such as baseboard carpentry and plumbing trim. When tile thickness changes, the platform recalculates door clearances and cabinet toe-kick heights, saving coordination meetings.

Whether you’re retrofitting a Boston brownstone or finishing a new suburban build, CountBricks turns mass tile from buzzword to bottom-line booster.
When a developer asked CountBricks to modernize three stacked condos with cohesive flooring, our team proposed a mass tile approach using 12″×48″ porcelain planks. The goal: unify all living areas while meeting strict condo conversion budgets.
• Total area: 3,850 sq ft across three units
• Material selection: Grade-1 porcelain, maple-look finish
• Lead time: 2 weeks from estimate approval to first delivery
• Savings: $5,700 in material costs versus phased ordering
1. Voice Walkthrough: The superintendent recorded measurements on each floor in under 18 minutes.
2. AI Takeoff: CountBricks generated a single purchase order, grouping identical cuts by elevation.
3. Logistics Sync: Our dispatch module arranged a single lift-gate delivery, reducing on-site handling.
4. Installation: Crews tiled all living rooms concurrently, achieving 1,200 sq ft per day at peak.
The unified mass tile layout improved acoustic continuity between units and scored high marks during buyer walkthroughs. Closing dates advanced by one week, freeing capital for the developer’s next project.
• Early coordination with CountBricks prevented elevator weight restrictions from derailing the delivery plan.
• Ordering all transition strips with the initial tile batch ensured dye-lot consistency.
• Real-time labor tracking inside CountBricks.com/services revealed optimal crew size, informing future bids.
