When the Reynolds family in Hyde Park wanted a 14' x 18' cedar pergola to tie their kitchen walk-out to an existing paver patio, they chose CountBricks for speed and transparency.
1. The homeowner used our mobile app to dictate requirements—cedar beams, integrated string-lights, and a natural gas fire feature.
2. CountBricks AI returned a 29-line estimate in 43 seconds, complete with 3-D visualization.
• Our software flagged an upcoming lumber promotion and automatically adjusted the quote, saving the client $410.
• Task sequencing ensured posts were set while footers for the fire pit cured, shaving a full day off the schedule.
• CNC-cut beam tails delivered perfect symmetry and reduced onsite saw time.
• Pre-wired LED fixtures plugged into a low-voltage transformer mounted discreetly behind a column.
• A water-based cedar tone sealer was spray-applied before assembly to protect hidden surfaces.
The project wrapped in four days—two days ahead of the original timeline. Final punch-list contained zero deficiencies, and the Reynolds family hosted a graduation party under their new pergola the following weekend.
• Early material locking prevents mid-build price spikes.
• Digital task lists align field crews with your approved budget.
