CountBricks Simply Building Residential Estimates

Simply Building: The New Standard in Residential Construction

In 2025, residential construction costs range from $150 to $300 per square foot, depending on location and materials. Contractors face pressure to deliver accurate quotes quickly while managing fluctuating material costs. CountBricks addresses these challenges by providing a streamlined approach to construction management, enabling professionals to focus on building quality homes efficiently.

Why Contractors Struggle to Stay Simple

Three Hidden Time Sinks

• Manual quantity takeoffs that demand hours with a scale ruler
• Phone-tag with suppliers to check fluctuating material prices
• Re-entering the same data to create estimates, invoices, and purchase orders

Every minute spent on administration is a minute not spent managing crews or solving site issues. CountBricks steps in to alleviate these burdens.
