The race to win profitable residential projects is won or lost at the quoting table. If your numbers are late, incomplete, or inflated, the prospect moves on. CountBricks has solved this problem with the quote access builder methodology—an AI-driven process that lets you speak your scope, pull real-time material prices, and generate a branded proposal while the client is still on the call.
At CountBricks, the phrase refers to a cloud workflow that gives builders instant access to quoting data—materials, labour, subcontractors, mark-ups, and compliance costs—directly from a voice or video conversation. Our AI engine listens, converts the conversation to structured line items, cross-checks regional price files, and builds a live estimate inside your CountBricks dashboard.
• Manual takeoffs that burn evenings and weekends
• Static price books that go out of date before the ink dries
• Copy-and-paste errors when moving data to invoices
• Lost opportunities when clients wait days for numbers
CountBricks eliminates each bottleneck by positioning the quote access builder in the centre of your sales, estimating, and accounting stack.
1. Start a live call in the CountBricks app or sync a site meeting recording.
2. Our natural-language AI converts the dialogue into detailed scope lines.
3. Real-time price feeds update materials, plant, and trade rates.
4. Mark-ups, overhead allowances, and tax codes auto-apply from your profile.
5. A branded PDF and interactive web quote drops into the client’s inbox—ready for e-signature.
• Speed: Five-minute turnaround on single-trade jobs, under an hour for full custom builds.
• Accuracy: Live merchant feeds and regional labour benchmarks limit guesswork.
• Consistency: Company-wide templates keep line items and margins identical across estimators.
• Professionalism: Every quote carries your logo, colour scheme, and digital acceptance button.
• Seamless Handover: Once accepted, one click pushes the estimate to scheduling and purchasing inside CountBricks.com/services.
Our blueprint takeoff engine reads PDF plans and exports quantities directly to the quote access builder. Door counts, wall areas, slab volumes—every measurement lands in the same estimate, so you never re-enter data. Builders who combine voice scoping with plan takeoffs report up to 93% time savings versus red-pen methods.
• Automatic contingency calculations protect against material volatility.
• Version tracking lets you revisit every change request without spreadsheets.
• Compliance prompts ensure that insulation, seismic, and energy allowances meet residential codes in your region.
When Oakridge Construction adopted CountBricks, they faced a 24-home subdivision with custom kitchens and high-spec cladding. Using our quote access builder, the team completed 24 individual homeowner quotes in three days—65% faster than their previous project. Material over-ordering dropped by 18%, saving $74,000 on framing packages alone. View more results at CountBricks.com/portfolio.
Internal tracking shows that for every $1 invested in CountBricks software, residential builders recover an average of $7 through time savings, avoided rework, and higher bid-win rates. That payback begins in the very first month once the quote access builder becomes your default estimating tool.

Clients change their minds—often. With CountBricks, site supervisors record the new requirement on a mobile device. The quote access builder recalculates quantities, updates cost lines, and issues a variation for e-approval before work resumes. • Outcome: variations approved 72% faster, preventing schedule drift.
Because material rates inside CountBricks refresh hourly, purchasing teams can spot price dips and lock in orders. Builders report saving an average of 4-6% on timber and cladding packages. • Outcome: stronger margins without raising client prices.
Accepted estimates flow straight into CountBricks progress-claim templates. Percent-complete data syncs from the site diary, generating invoices that match the original line items. • Outcome: fewer client queries and faster cashflow.
• Load your last six projects into CountBricks to build a personal cost library.
• Use voice tags like “prime cost item” or “provisional sum” during scoping—our AI flags them automatically.
• Schedule weekly price-feed updates with suppliers for ultra-accurate margins.
• Train apprentices on the takeoff module; they’ll master measurements while you focus on client relationships.
