From Stone Oak to Southtown, residential construction in San Antonio never slows down. Homeowners expect crisp drywall finishes that withstand Texas heat, shifting soils, and day-to-day family life. Yet accurate drywall takeoffs and budget control can stall even the most experienced contractor. CountBricks removes that friction. Our real-time voice-powered estimating engine produces fully costed drywall proposals in minutes, turning on-site measurements into line-item quotes, schedules, and invoices—no spreadsheets required.
• Semi-arid climate demands moisture-resistant boards in bathrooms and kitchens
• Expansive clay soil means greater risk of wall cracks, elevating demand for Level 5 finishes
• Rapid suburban growth drives high search volume for local, responsive drywall crews
• Competition ranges from single-truck crews to national franchises—homeowners need proof of precision and transparency
Traditional paper takeoffs can misjudge waste by 10-15 percent, eroding profit. CountBricks AI listens as you walk the project: “Ten-foot wall, nine-foot ceiling, two standard windows.” Instantly our engine:
1. Generates square footage and board counts
2. Applies San Antonio–specific material pricing pulled from live supplier feeds
3. Calculates labor hours using local production rates
4. Adds waste, tax, and overhead with customizable templates
5. Exports a branded PDF ready to e-sign
• 1/2" regular gypsum board: $0.42-$0.48 per sqft
• 5/8" Type X fire-rated board: $0.57-$0.65 per sqft
• Moisture-resistant “green board”: $0.74-$0.82 per sqft
• Labor (hang & finish): $1.35-$1.60 per sqft depending on texture level
CountBricks auto-updates these figures weekly, so your proposals stay profitable even when supply chains shift.
• Precondition boards to the job-site temperature 24 hours before install to reduce future tape pops
• Use flexible corner bead on archways common in local stucco-style homes
• Order 12-foot boards when ceilings exceed eight feet—fewer joints, smoother finish
• Always request board delivery into central rooms to cut labor time
• Capture walk-through notes verbally in the CountBricks mobile app for instant documentation

3. Approve: Send clients a branded quote from CountBricks.com/portfolio with interactive options (e.g., Level 4 vs. Level 5 finish)
4. Schedule: Accepted quotes feed directly into your field calendar
5. Invoice: Completed tasks convert to progress draws with one tap
A 3,200 sqft post-war ranch required full drywall replacement after electrical upgrades. Using CountBricks:

Yes. Import the model plan once, duplicate, and adjust only the change orders per lot.
