Owner-builder projects are reshaping residential construction. Homeowners acting as project managers expect trades to quote faster, communicate clearly, and justify every line item. Traditional methods no longer suffice. CountBricks owner builder software equips carpenters, electricians, plumbers, and subcontractors with digital tools for efficiency and accuracy.
Imagine walking a job with an owner-builder, phone in hand. As they describe their wish list, you speak into CountBricks. Our voice AI converts the conversation into a fully costed estimate in seconds, mapping tasks, labor hours, and material SKUs to current supplier pricing. No late-night transcribing and no missed margins.
Most owner-builder jobs start with hand-sketched plans or revised PDFs. CountBricks’ AI takeoff tool reads any digital blueprint, recognizes framing, fixtures, and finishes, and auto-populates line items. You confirm quantities and adjust mark-ups, resulting in a bank-ready quote that protects your profit and projects competence to your client.
Owner-builders often add “just one more” change. CountBricks’ versioned estimate history lets you reopen any quote, tweak quantities, and issue a revised price in minutes. Transparent change orders equal fewer disputes and faster approvals.
Our real-time pricing database shows material fluctuations the moment they hit suppliers, so you can renegotiate or pre-order before costs blow out. Show owners the live dashboard and demonstrate you’re guarding their budget while protecting your margin.
CountBricks stores every voice note, plan mark-up, and revision inside one project hub. Trade teams, site supervisors, and owner-builders access the same source of truth, reducing call-backs and conflicting instructions.
When AceFrame Carpentry partnered with an owner-builder on a 280 m² extension, their manual spreadsheet takeoff took 12 hours. After adopting CountBricks, the voice walk-through and AI blueprint analysis delivered a 72-line estimate in 30 minutes. Result: a professional PDF quote, signed within 24 hours, and a 9 percent higher gross margin thanks to accurate waste allowances. Explore more success stories at CountBricks.com.

When you adopt CountBricks owner builder software, you’re not just winning jobs—you’re winning back evenings, improving cash flow, and elevating professionalism on every residential build.
Assemblies are pre-built task bundles—stud wall, bathroom fit-off, deck framing—complete with labor hours, fixings, and waste factors. By loading your most common assemblies into CountBricks, you transform the estimating process from line-by-line data entry into strategic pricing.
Create a parent assembly called “Kitchen Renovation” and nest sub-assemblies—demolition, rough-in, cabinetry install, final fit-off. One measurement triggers a complete, detailed estimate that impresses owner-builders and speeds approvals.
CountBricks support staff are former builders, estimators, and quantity surveyors. Whether you need help fine-tuning waste factors or importing supplier price lists, you’ll speak to someone who has worn steel-capped boots on site.
