In the competitive world of residential construction, speed and precision are crucial for winning bids. Many subcontractors and general contractors still rely on outdated methods, juggling paper plans and scattered emails. CountBricks revolutionizes this process with a voice-activated workflow that transforms quote requests into polished estimates, complete with real-time materials, labor tasks, and costings.
Start a quote request by speaking naturally: “I need a price on framing 2,400 square feet, 9-foot walls, including sheathing and engineered headers.” CountBricks converts this into structured line items automatically.
The platform checks national supplier feeds and your vendor price lists. If lumber prices spike, your quote reflects it instantly, protecting your margins.
Upload PDFs or use your phone to scan plans. CountBricks reads dimensions and calculates counts, feeding quantities directly into the estimate.
Click “Create Proposal” to generate a branded document with your logo, payment terms, and schedule allowances. Send it as a PDF or share a live link for client approval.
1. Open the CountBricks app and tap “New Quote Request.”
2. Speak or type project details—scope, timeline, quality level.
3. Attach drawings for AI blueprint takeoff.
4. Review auto-generated line items and adjust mark-ups if needed.
5. Hit “Send Proposal.” Your client receives a branded document and e-signature link.
