The residential market moves fast. Homeowners expect accurate timelines, trade partners need clear hand-offs, and material prices change daily. CountBricks construction scheduling software delivers the control busy contractors demand by linking every task, cost code, and delivery date to a single real-time source of truth. By combining AI-powered estimating, live material pricing, and blueprint takeoffs with a dynamic Gantt engine, CountBricks keeps projects moving and margins protected.
CountBricks converts a jobsite conversation into a detailed estimate while you talk. The same data instantly populates your construction schedule:
• Rooms, assemblies, and allowances become task groups with start and finish dates
• Labor hours drive crew assignments and workload forecasts
• Supplier lead times auto-populate procurement milestones
With no double entry, the risk of missed line items or forgotten activities disappears.
Material volatility is the new normal—especially in lumber, HVAC, and finish packages. When CountBricks syncs to supplier APIs, any price shift triggers an optional schedule review:
• Cost spikes prompt value-engineering alerts before framing begins
• Back-ordered SKUs generate rescheduling suggestions to protect the critical path
• Accepted substitutions automatically flow to updated purchase orders and client change orders
The result is fewer surprises and more profitable jobs.
Whether you build custom homes or high-volume townhouses, stakeholders need different levels of information. CountBricks construction scheduling software lets you zoom from a bird’s-eye milestone map down to minute-by-minute crew calendars:
• Owners see overall progress and upcoming payment draws
• Trade partners receive daily task lists and delivery gates via mobile notifications
• Superintendents track inspections, punch items, and warranty follow-ups in one dashboard
Permissions keep proprietary data in the right hands while still exposing enough detail for accountability.
CountBricks reads PDFs, DWGs, and even photo scans to detect walls, openings, and materials. Quantities flow straight into the schedule’s procurement tasks, saving days of manual entry.
Adjust durations on the fly. Pre-built residential templates—foundation, framing, MEP rough-in, finishes—update dependencies automatically so you never break the logic chain.
When a customer upgrades to quartz or adds a deck, you can quote, win approval, and push the new tasks and costs to the schedule without leaving CountBricks.
See at a glance when your framing crew is double-booked or your skid steer is idle. Reassign resources with a click to level the week.
Foremen confirm task completion, upload site photos, and tag delays. Data syncs instantly so office staff spot slippage before it snowballs.
1. Voice estimate captures scope while walking the lot
2. AI takeoff validates quantities against client plans
3. Baseline schedule auto-generates with realistic lead times
• Daily field updates feed earned value reports so you know percent complete in real time
• Weather delays or inspection issues are logged, and critical path shifts are proposed instantly

• Punch lists convert to tasks with photos and due dates
• Warranty periods are tracked as future schedule events, ensuring no callbacks fall through the cracks
• Final invoices use the same cost codes the schedule tracked, so reconciliation is effortless
A CountBricks client in Austin trimmed 18 calendar days from a 3,800-sq-ft build by leveraging live material alerts. When engineered lumber lead times jumped two weeks, the superintendent pulled exterior masonry ahead of framing. CountBricks auto-shifted downstream tasks, preventing idle crews and saving $7,200 in extended general conditions.

In residential construction, timing is everything. CountBricks construction scheduling software turns unpredictable variables into manageable data, empowering contractors to deliver on budget, on time, and with confidence. When your estimate, schedule, and field updates live in one ecosystem, every stakeholder wins—and so do your margins.
CountBricks construction scheduling software is more than a visual timeline—it is the backbone of operational excellence for residential builders.
Accounting, purchasing, and field teams traditionally rely on separate systems that rarely agree. When everyone accesses the same schedule, discrepancies surface early:
• The purchasing manager sees framing lumber release dates and can align bulk orders for volume discounts
• Accounting tracks committed costs in real time, preventing budget shocks at month-end
• Field supervisors receive instant notification when change orders modify scope or deadlines
CountBricks studies historical schedule data and flags patterns that erode profit:
• Chronic framing delays on specific plan types
• Subcontractors with higher-than-average rework incidents
• Weather-related standstills that justify temporary enclosures
Armed with these insights, management can renegotiate contracts, refine plan sets, or invest in equipment that eliminates recurring bottlenecks.
Homeowners crave transparency. CountBricks lets you share a read-only portal showing milestone completion and upcoming selections deadlines. This proactive communication:
• Reduces “Where are we?” calls by 70%
• Increases upgrade revenue because clients understand the impact on timeline and cost before committing
• Enhances referrals and reviews, feeding your sales pipeline at no extra marketing cost
