The pace of residential construction across New Zealand keeps accelerating. Tight margins, material volatility, and a shrinking trades workforce leave little room for guesswork. Yet many NZ jobsites still rely on spreadsheets and paper plans for take-offs and quotes, losing precious hours on every build. CountBricks replaces that friction with real-time voice capture, AI-powered blueprint interpretation, and auto-generated costings that plug directly into your workflow.
CountBricks listens to these pressures and feeds field data straight into the cloud, so foremen can quote confidently from the driveway instead of the office.
On site, open the CountBricks mobile interface and start talking: “Three-bedroom timber frame, R2.8 insulation, Colorsteel roof.” Voice recognition converts speech to structured line items in seconds.
CountBricks pulls current merchant pricing from national databases and your preferred supplier accounts. No manual look-ups, no outdated rates.
Upload PDFs or photos of plans. Our computer vision counts studs, sheets, and fixings, then matches them to New Zealand standards. Adjust any quantity on the fly.
These variables flow into a transparent cost model your clients can trust.
