Cost certainty is the backbone of every profitable residential project. When you can forecast labour, materials and margins with precision, you win more jobs and protect your cash flow. CountBricks was created for that exact purpose—giving carpenters, builders and specialty trades instant clarity on what tomorrow’s project really costs.
For years, builders juggled spreadsheets, PDF mark-ups and phone calls to suppliers. By the time quotes reached clients, prices were already out of date. CountBricks flips that script by combining voice-activated estimating, AI-powered blueprint take-offs and live materials pricing from leading merchants. The result is an estimate that mirrors the market in real time—no more hidden contingencies or rushed allowances.
Our plans are built around project volume, not pay-walls on features. Every tier includes the same powerhouse toolkit—only your annual build value changes.
• Starter: Up to $750K in annual project value. Perfect for solo builders and small carpentry crews.
• Growth: Up to $3M. Designed for established contractors running multiple sites.
• Pro: Unlimited project value with multi-user access, advanced cost-code libraries and white-label proposals.
All plans include unlimited voice estimates, AI take-offs, branded quote documents and automatic supplier price updates.
• Voice-Driven Estimating: Speak line items as you walk the site; CountBricks builds the estimate instantly.
• Live Materials Database: Timber, steel, insulation and fixtures update automatically as supplier pricing shifts.
• AI Blueprint Take-Offs: Upload PDF drawings; CountBricks quantifies studs, rebar, sheets and fixings in minutes.
• One-Click Invoicing: Convert approved estimates into staged invoices synced with your accounting software.
• Custom Quote Docs: Generate polished, branded proposals—ideal for impressing homeowners and bank lenders alike.
The real question isn’t what you’ll pay for CountBricks, it’s what traditional processes are already costing you.
1. Re-work: Redrafting quotes after supplier price hikes can swallow five to ten admin hours per job.
2. Margin Erosion: Out-of-date rates shrink mark-ups by 2-5% on average builds.
3. Lost Leads: Taking two weeks to issue a quote when competitors answer in two days can cost you the project entirely.
CountBricks eliminates those leaks. Users report reclaiming up to eight hours per week and improving accepted-quote ratios by 17% within the first quarter.
• Starter: $99 per month. Single user, unlimited projects, email support.
• Growth: $249 per month. Three users, priority phone support, team permissions.
• Pro: Custom pricing. Unlimited users, dedicated success manager, API access.
A Brisbane builder on our Growth plan completed a $420K federation-style renovation. Using CountBricks:
• Estimate creation time dropped from 11 hours to 2 hours.
• Supplier price drift was caught early, adding $4,800 in protected margin.
• Faster quoting secured the job before the homeowner sought other bids.
The $249 subscription fee returned over 15-times its cost in a single project.
Do I need to sign a long-term contract?
No. All plans are month-to-month with discounts for annual payment.
How does user pricing work?
Each tier includes a set number of seats. Add-ons are available at a flat per-user rate.
Are material prices really live?
Yes. CountBricks integrates with major merchant APIs so timber, steel and hardware rates update daily.
1. Visit CountBricks.com/pricing and choose Starter, Growth or Pro.
2. Upload a recent blueprint or start a voice estimate.
3. Invite your team and suppliers to collaborate in the cloud.
4. Convert your first AI take-off into a branded quote in under 30 minutes.
Paper plans and manual formulas served builders for decades, but they no longer compete in a market of rising material costs and impatient clients. CountBricks transparent pricing, backed by AI estimate automation, gives residential contractors the edge to grow—without hiring more admin staff.

Every builder’s workflow is different, but administration hours and pricing errors are universal costs. CountBricks analyses three key metrics when projecting your return on subscription fees.
• Manual spreadsheet workflow: Average 8–12 hours per $300K project.
• CountBricks AI workflow: Average 1.5–3 hours.
Multiply the time saved by your hourly overhead rate—most contractors recoup the monthly subscription in two quotes.
• Without live updates: Timber or structural steel can climb 3–6% in a 30-day approval window.
• With CountBricks: Estimates refresh nightly, so variation clauses rarely bite into your margin.
• Studies of CountBricks users show proposal delivery within 48 hours increases acceptance probability by 35%.
• Rapid turn-around also supports higher deposits because clients trust timely, data-driven figures.
A boutique builder on the Starter plan completed six coastal renovations last year. By automating estimates and catching material spikes early, they recorded:
• $38,600 in protected profit.
• 62 admin hours freed—enough to supervise two extra site days each month.
• Zero budget overruns flagged by the client’s bank, accelerating payment drawdowns.
