CountBricks Simple Innovation in Residential Construction

Simple Innovation: The CountBricks Way

In the fast-paced world of residential construction, staying ahead requires more than just hard work. With material costs ranging from $650-$1200 per opening, efficiency is key. CountBricks introduces simple innovations that streamline processes, from voice-driven estimating to AI blueprint takeoffs, allowing construction professionals to focus on building rather than paperwork.

Why Simple Beats Complex

Complex technologies often disrupt workflows, but simple innovations integrate seamlessly. Imagine calling in quantities while on-site or generating invoices instantly without new hardware. CountBricks enhances existing workflows with minimal disruption.

The Three Everyday Pain Points We Solved

• Estimating delays that push back project start dates
• Blueprint takeoffs that consume office hours
• Invoices that miss details and slow cashflow

Voice-Driven Estimating: Talk, Don’t Type

CountBricks’ AI listens to jobsite-friendly language, pulling live market costs and labor assemblies. Say, “200 linear feet of 2x6 treated sill, regional price update,” and receive a fully scoped estimate instantly.

How It Works in the Field

1. Open the CountBricks mobile mic.
2. Walk the site and narrate each scope item.
3. Review auto-generated quantities and costs in real time.
4. Hit “Send” to push the estimate to your client-ready quote document.

Cost Accuracy You Can Defend

Real-time regional pricing ensures accurate estimates, avoiding margin gaps. Each line item includes material, labor, overhead, and markup, ready for client scrutiny or internal audit.

AI Blueprint Takeoffs: 60 Minutes of Work in 6

Traditional takeoffs are time-consuming. CountBricks uses computer vision to identify walls, openings, and more, automatically transferring data into your estimate.
