Few upgrades elevate a Phoenix home like a custom sauna. Whether you are refreshing a master suite or building a full outdoor wellness zone, the right planning determines comfort, safety and lifetime value. CountBricks delivers everything homeowners and builders need to turn a great idea into a finished retreat—AI-powered takeoffs, real-time materials pricing, and on-site voice estimating that writes the quote while you walk the job.
• Year-round use thanks to dry desert evenings and minimal freeze risk
• Wellness benefits—improved circulation, muscle recovery, and stress relief
• Adds a premium feature that boosts resale value in a competitive housing market
• Pairs naturally with pool remodels and backyard hardscape upgrades
1. Size and seating capacity—two-person prefab units start lower, while custom cedar rooms scale up quickly
2. Material selection—clear Western Red Cedar, hemlock, or thermally modified aspen affect both aesthetics and budget
3. Heater type—electric wall mount, wood-burning, or infra-red panels each require different electrical and venting provisions
4. Site conditions—garage conversions differ from second-story bathroom additions or new backyard structures
5. Mechanical integration—proper vapor barriers, insulation, and dedicated circuits protect the rest of the residence
Upload PDFs or mobile photos to CountBricks.com/takeoffs. Our computer-vision engine identifies wall assemblies, finishes, heaters, benches and lighting, then compiles a materials list in seconds—no manual scaling.
Walk the project with your phone. Say, “8-foot cedar tongue-and-groove on this wall, R-15 mineral wool behind,” and our platform converts speech to a structured line item in your estimate. Adjust quantities or switch products on the fly while clients listen.
• Live feeds from regional lumber yards ensure cedar board-foot costs match today's market
• Electrical and mechanical assemblies pull from Phoenix distributor catalogs
• Labor rates auto-adjust using current local trade averages, but you control the markup
When the walkthrough ends, CountBricks assembles a branded proposal—including scope narrative, schedule, exclusions, and payment terms—ready for e-signature. Share it from your phone before you leave the driveway.
Ventilation: Phoenix’s low humidity helps sauna performance, but a fresh-air intake and ceiling exhaust remain essential. CountBricks suggestions include 4-inch inline fans controlled by the heater’s thermostat.
Envelope Protection: We specify foil-faced vapor barriers behind cedar and sealed LED fixtures rated to 194 °F, preventing hidden moisture damage.
Energy Efficiency: Our calculators model kWh demand based on square footage, recommending 240-volt circuits sized to NEC standards so homeowners understand ongoing operating costs.

The homeowners wanted a four-person traditional sauna tucked beside their pool house. Using CountBricks, the GC completed estimating in under an hour.
• AI takeoff measured 112 sq ft of interior cladding and flagged the need for 2 × 6 framing to accommodate R-21 mineral wool—details easy to overlook on paper.
• Real-time pricing showed cedar costs trending up 6 % that week, prompting an early material purchase that saved the client $780.
• Voice walkthrough captured eight client preferences—including a bronze door handle and low-voltage strip lighting—directly into the scope of work, eliminating revision emails.
1. Installation completed in seven calendar days, two ahead of schedule.
2. Final cost landed within 1.8 % of the original quote—evidence that CountBricks’ quantities hold up in the field.
3. The customer received a detailed maintenance guide auto-generated from the project data, increasing post-handover satisfaction.
• Pre-finish cedar boards with a clear paraffin oil before installation; it reduces onsite labor by one full day.
• Run conduit for optional future infra-red panels while walls are open—it adds pennies now and avoids demo later.
