Rhode Island homeowners love the charm of classic New England millwork, yet they still expect twenty-first-century speed and accuracy when estimating labor and material costs. CountBricks brings both worlds together. Our voice-driven AI captures every cabinet detail in real time, builds a line-item estimate, and turns it into a polished client proposal before your coffee gets cold.
• Shaker simplicity that matches historic Providence homes
• Contemporary slab fronts favored in downtown loft conversions
• Two-tone color schemes that balance coastal whites with rich walnut islands
1. Tight urban job sites often require smaller delivery trucks and additional handling time
2. Existing brownstone walls call for custom scribing and filler panels
3. Seasonal humidity swings influence material selection and install timelines
Hidden mechanicals: Discovering a surprise HVAC chase can derail install day and inflate costs.
Change orders: Clients tweak hardware finishes or add pull-out accessories mid-stream, throwing off original quotes.
Supplier volatility: Lumber prices fluctuate weekly, leaving contractors to absorb unexpected overruns.
• Voice Capture: Walk the room, speak dimensions and cabinet types, and let CountBricks convert speech to a fully detailed takeoff.
• Live Material Pricing: Our software connects to regional suppliers for current costs on maple, birch, hinges, and pulls.
• Auto-Generated Tasks: CountBricks inserts labor lines for removal, install, scribing, crown moulding, and site cleanup.
• One-Click Proposals: Brand-ready PDFs and e-sign quotes are produced instantly, cutting office work by up to 80 %.
• Speak in sequences: “Base forty-two sink, wall thirty-six, filler three” helps AI map runs accurately.
• Use room presets inside CountBricks.com/services to recall common layouts and speed data entry.
• Snap a photo of existing conditions; the blueprint overlay tool auto-detects stud locations for secure anchoring.
• Tag special finishes—lacquer, glaze, or distressing—to trigger correct cost multipliers.
• Sync to CountBricks.com/portfolio to pull previous project templates and avoid reinventing the wheel.
1. Voice walk-through captures dimensions and cabinet SKUs.
2. AI blueprint takeoff cross-checks the field data for accuracy.
3. CountBricks applies real-time lumber and hardware pricing.
4. Labor tasks auto-populate based on linear footage and install complexity.
5. A branded quote is generated and emailed to the homeowner for digital approval.
Project: 250 sq ft College Hill kitchen
Scope: 28 linear feet of custom shaker cabinets, crown, soft-close drawers, under-cab lighting channel
CountBricks Estimate:
• Materials: $14,850 (updated twice during a two-week decision window)
• Labor: $5,900 (six workdays with a two-person crew)
• Additional Services: $1,200 for old cabinet disposal and paint touch-ups
Because CountBricks locked in supplier pricing the moment the client signed, the contractor avoided a 7 % hardwood increase that hit the market only three days later.
• Accuracy: AI algorithm cross-checks every line item for omissions
• Speed: Full quotes delivered in under ten minutes
• Transparency: Homeowners see a task-by-task breakdown, boosting trust
• Flexibility: Edit on the fly from any device—site tablet or office desktop
