Residential builders wear multiple hard-hats at once—project manager, salesperson, estimator, accountant. CountBricks was created to lighten that load. Our real-time voice AI captures every material, task, and allowance you discuss on-site and instantly builds a detailed estimate. By pairing that workflow with qucikbooks online, trade professionals eliminate duplicate data entry, reduce errors, and gain immediate financial clarity.
1. Hold a natural conversation with CountBricks on your phone, tablet, or desktop.
2. Our AI tags each spoken item to the correct cost code, labor rate, and current supplier price from the CountBricks materials database.
3. Press “Send to qucikbooks online.” The estimate converts to an invoice or progress claim, complete with itemized lines and tax settings.
4. Payments and change orders posted in qucikbooks online flow back to CountBricks, updating project profitability in real time.

Imagine Sam, a residential carpenter–builder. On Monday morning he opens a new project in CountBricks while walking the slab with his client. Speaking naturally, Sam lists “90 m² engineered flooring, R3.2 ceiling batts, and an extra skylight.” CountBricks flags real-time pricing and generates a 12-page proposal, which Sam emails from his ute before starting the saw.
The client approves electronically. Sam taps “Convert to PO” and the material list drops into his merchant account. Once delivery is confirmed, CountBricks syncs the cost to qucikbooks online expenses and updates Sam’s gross profit forecast. When frame stage is complete, a progress claim pushes to qucikbooks online, journals GST correctly, and emails the home-owner. Payment lands, the bank feed matches automatically, and Sam sees an accurate profit-to-date without ever touching a spreadsheet.

Will it work with my existing price files? Yes—upload CSVs or connect supplier portals inside CountBricks.com/portfolio.
Does voice recognition handle technical terms? Our construction-trained model recognises “nogging,” “H3.2,” and even regional slang.
What about variations? Voice-log them on site and CountBricks creates a separate variation order that syncs to qucikbooks online for transparent billing.
Traditional estimating software captures numbers. CountBricks captures conversations. When that conversational intelligence feeds directly into qucikbooks online, residential contractors unlock real-time financial control without extra admin. Projects stay on budget, invoices go out faster, and cash flow stays healthy—so you can focus on building great homes, not chasing paperwork.
