New Haven’s beautiful housing stock ranges from historic colonials to modern condos. While each home tells a different story, they all share one common need: safe, efficient, and code-compliant electrical systems. Outdated wiring, undersized panels, and rising smart-home demand push homeowners to look for reliable partners who understand local regulations and budgets. CountBricks steps in with AI-powered estimating, real-time material pricing, and voice-driven job scope creation, bringing unprecedented speed and transparency to residential electrical projects.
CountBricks blends construction expertise with advanced technology. By capturing a short on-site voice conversation, our platform instantly converts homeowner goals into detailed electrical estimates—complete with labor hours, material SKUs, and permit fees specific to New Haven.
• Real-time supplier integrations mean wire, breaker, and fixture costs are always current
• Blueprint takeoffs powered by computer vision reduce manual plan reading errors
• Custom invoice templates allow contractors to win more bids with polished documents
• Homeowners see line-item clarity instead of vague lump-sum pricing
Older 60-amp fuse boxes can’t support today’s appliance loads. CountBricks calculates amperage demand, sources 200-amp panels at today’s prices, and schedules inspections with the city so you stay on track.
Knob-and-tube or cloth-insulated wiring is common in pre-1950 homes. Our AI estimates include:
• Circuit counts per room based on NEC and local amendments
• Material allowances for open-wall or fishing techniques to minimize drywall repair
• GFCI and AFCI protection requirements
Electric vehicle adoption in Connecticut is soaring. CountBricks specifies conductor size, conduit type, and load calculations for Level 2 chargers, ensuring utilities and inspectors sign off without delays.
From dimmable LEDs to whole-home surge protection, CountBricks details device counts, compatibility notes, and integration labor so homeowners know exactly what they’re paying for.
Labor Rates: Union guidelines and prevailing-wage projects influence hourly costs. CountBricks automatically updates labor line items so your budget matches field reality.
Permit & Utility Fees: Eversource service upgrades and City of New Haven inspection fees are included upfront—no surprise add-ons mid-project.
Historic Restrictions: Working in the Wooster Square or Edgewood Park Historic Districts often limits exterior conduit runs. Our takeoffs highlight routing alternatives that keep façades intact.
