A handshake may feel friendly, but only a signed proposal transforms a casual conversation into a legally binding agreement. For homeowners, it means predictable timelines and costs. For contractors, it locks in scope, payment terms, and materials before the first brick is ordered. At CountBricks, our AI-driven estimate engine converts field conversations into detailed proposals in minutes—then routes them for e-signature so work can begin without delay.
• Ambiguous scope leads to expensive rework and strained client relationships
• Verbal change orders create disputes over labor and material allowances
• Delayed payments jeopardize cash flow and subcontractor schedules
CountBricks eliminates those risks by marrying real-time pricing with digital signatures, giving both parties a single source of truth.
1. Voice-to-Estimate Capture: Speak measurements, materials, and tasks on-site—our AI drafts an itemized budget within seconds.
2. Automatic Markup & Tax: Regional material pricing, sales tax, and overhead are applied instantly for true job cost transparency.
3. Scope & Schedule: Pre-built residential templates outline demolition, framing, MEP, finishes, and punch list milestones.
4. E-Signature Workflow: Homeowners receive a PDF and mobile-friendly link. They sign digitally, triggering automatic notifications and a locked change-order log.
5. One-Click Conversion to Invoice: Once the signature lands, CountBricks shifts the estimate to an invoice, saving hours of manual data entry.
State-Specific Clauses – Mechanics-lien language, right-to-cancel periods, and warranty statements are inserted based on job ZIP codes.
Digital Audit Trail – Time-stamped signature certificates stand up to lender or courtroom scrutiny.
Automatic Version Control – Every revision is archived, so scope creep never goes unnoticed.
A Springfield homeowner needed a 450-sq-ft master-suite addition. Using CountBricks.com/services, our project manager generated a voice-captured estimate on-site. The homeowner signed on her phone before we left the driveway. Materials were ordered the same afternoon, shaving five days off the schedule and locking lumber at that morning’s market price—saving the client over $2,800.

A family in Denver wanted to transform a 900-sq-ft unfinished basement into a media room and guest suite. After capturing dimensions via voice, the contractor generated three scope tiers—standard, deluxe, premium—inside CountBricks. The homeowner chose the deluxe tier and signed that evening. Because the signed proposal locked framing lumber at the quoted rate, the contractor avoided a 7% price spike that hit the market the following week, preserving $1,450 in margin.
Signed proposals aren’t just paperwork—they’re data. Every line item feeds into CountBricks analytics, helping you refine labor productivity rates, forecast material demand, and benchmark profitability across projects. Over time, your proposals get sharper, your bids more competitive, and your jobs increasingly predictable.
