Margins are thin, clients are demanding, and timber prices change before the concrete dries. A spreadsheet cannot keep pace with today’s residential construction pressures. CountBricks quoting software replaces time-draining manual workflows with an AI-driven system that captures measurements, labour, and real-time material costs while you talk on site.
Residential contractors tell us two things matter most: speed and confidence. Homeowners want their quote yesterday, and you need to know every line item is profitable. CountBricks delivers both by combining blueprint takeoffs, voice-to-estimate capture, and live supplier feeds in one platform.
1. Upload plans or open an active mic on your phone.
2. Our AI measures walls, windows, slabs, and roofs or transcribes your spoken scope.
3. The engine maps tasks to CountBricks’ cost database, adjusting for region and supplier pricing.
4. A branded proposal is generated, ready to email or push directly to CountBricks invoicing.
• Blueprint takeoffs accurate to the millimetre
• Voice-activated line-item creation on site
• Automatic labour & material cost syncing
• Variation tracking that updates the client quote in seconds
• One-click conversion from estimate to invoice
• Branded PDFs and e-signature ready documents
Speed wins tenders. When you deliver a professional proposal the same day you meet the homeowner, you are already ahead of competitors still drafting numbers. CountBricks users report cutting quoting time by up to 70 percent, allowing them to bid on more jobs without adding staff.
Lumber, rebar, and insulation fluctuate weekly. Our quoting software pulls live supplier rates every time you open an estimate. You lock in up-to-date margins and avoid the painful conversation of repricing after a client signs.
Quotes are only valuable if they flow into site execution. CountBricks pushes approved estimates straight into the project schedule. Tasks, labour allowances, and purchase orders populate automatically, so your supervisor knows exactly what was promised and budgeted.
When Sunrise Builders took on a four-unit duplex project, they used CountBricks quoting software to complete takeoffs and pricing in 4 hours instead of their usual 2 days. The live pricing module highlighted a looming timber increase, prompting them to secure materials early and save 8 percent on framing costs. Explore more success stories at CountBricks.com/portfolio.

Result: zero downtime and full cost recovery.
