Residential builders juggle dozens of moving parts every day—labour schedules, supplier deliveries, change orders and a constant stream of client questions. When numbers live in scattered spreadsheets or generic accounting apps, profit can disappear without warning. CountBricks packaged accounting software plugs directly into your estimating, take-off and invoicing workflow, giving field supervisors and office managers a single source of financial truth.
CountBricks captures measurements and scope during a real-time voice conversation, auto-builds a detailed estimate and then exports every cost code into packaged accounting software. No re-keying, no translation errors—just a seamless hand-off that ties dollars to tasks instantly.
• Speak dimensions and materials on-site, watch line items appear on screen
• Apply live material pricing drawn from CountBricks supplier feeds
• Push approved budgets straight to your accounting ledger for purchase orders
Contractors looking for “packaged accounting software” want two things: an all-in-one solution and proof it works for construction. Generic finance platforms can track debits and credits, but they rarely understand cost codes, retention or progress claims. CountBricks bridges that gap. Our integration maps construction-specific fields—phase, cost type, variation—to your packaged accounting software so every transaction remains construction-accurate.
• Pre-loaded cost codes that match common residential CSI divisions
• Automated retention calculations on subcontractor invoices
• Progress claim templates that mirror milestone payments in owner contracts
• Built-in change order log that syncs new revenue lines to accounting in real time
