In 2025, the cost of residential construction can range from $150 to $300 per square foot, depending on location and materials. Walk onto any modern jobsite and you can feel it—the onsite build is no longer a paper-cluttered guessing game. Residential contractors now demand real-time data, voice-driven workflows, and lightning-fast takeoffs. CountBricks was built to meet that demand. By combining AI, live pricing feeds, and instant document generation, CountBricks turns your tablet or phone into the hub of a profitable onsite build.
Residential projects are margin sensitive. Even a 2% materials overrun can erase profit. Traditional workflows struggle because:
The onsite build collapses under this weight unless data moves with the crew. CountBricks keeps that data alive and talking.
1. Voice-First Estimating
Walk the foundation, speak quantities, and watch CountBricks auto-populate your estimate in real time. No clipboard required.
2. Live Material Cost Feeds
CountBricks pulls supplier pricing as you build the takeoff, so every stud, sheet, and screw reflects today’s costs—not last quarter’s.
3. AI Blueprint Takeoffs
Upload architectural PDFs, let AI trace walls and measure areas, then fine-tune on screen. The output flows straight into cost codes and labor assemblies.
4. One-Tap Quote & Invoice Generation
Create branded PDFs or client portals in seconds. Any onsite change order can be priced, approved, and invoiced before the concrete sets.
5. Cloud Collaboration
Everyone—from site supervisor to head office—sees a single source of truth. CountBricks syncs automatically, so the onsite build never stalls waiting for files.
1. Open the project file on CountBricks.com before stepping onto the lot.
2. Activate voice mode and dictate wall lengths, window counts, and fixture notes while you walk.
3. Let AI cross-reference your counts with the plan set uploaded to CountBricks.com.
4. Review the live cost-loaded estimate on your device; adjust crew hours or waste factors on the fly.
5. Tap 'Generate Quote' to deliver a professional proposal to the homeowner or GC before leaving the driveway.
6. When the work begins, track time and materials in the same interface. CountBricks rolls progress into invoices automatically.
One CountBricks client, Maple Ridge Renovations, faced a 2,400 sq ft kitchen-plus-addition with aggressive timelines. Using the onsite build workflow:
The result was an 18-hour labor saving and a quote accepted same-day—proof that digital speed pays.
“My crew isn’t tech savvy.” The voice-first interface feels like using a radio—only smarter.
“We already have spreadsheets.” CountBricks imports them, then enhances accuracy with live data.
“What if the signal drops?” Offline mode caches entries and syncs the moment connectivity returns.
The residential market rewards builders who quote faster, track tighter, and invoice sooner. CountBricks delivers each of those wins in one platform.

CountBricks encourages crews to submit quick voice memos at key milestones—“framing 80 percent, used 28 LVLs.” Those notes feed back into the AI model overnight, so the onsite build becomes incrementally smarter.
