CountBricks Case Study: Clinton Hill Loft Conversion
When a growing family purchased a 1,400 sq ft industrial loft in Clinton Hill, they needed child-friendly flooring that matched the space’s exposed brick and 12-foot ceilings. CountBricks recommended a 7 mm SPC vinyl plank with a wire-brushed oak pattern.
Project Highlights
- The homeowner used our voice estimate feature during the first walkthrough, receiving a full budget within 12 minutes.
- CountBricks’ blueprint takeoff detected a 3⁄8-inch subfloor height variation that would have created squeaks. A quick self-leveler calculation was added, preventing future callbacks.
- Material procurement synced with two local distributors. When one raised prices overnight, the locked-in CountBricks rate saved the client $820.
- Installation was staged over two evenings to avoid disrupting the family’s daytime home-office schedules. Negative-air machines kept dust out of the HVAC system.
Results
The final cost landed 1.7% under estimate, and the family moved furniture back in less than 48 hours after the last plank clicked into place. Post-project surveys, stored at CountBricks.com, scored 5/5 for cleanliness, communication, and overall craftsmanship.
Key Takeaways for Your Project
- Voice-driven estimates give you negotiating power with lenders or condo boards before you sign a construction contract.
- Real-time material feeds protect your budget against sudden supplier hikes common in the New York market.
- CountBricks’ AI avoids the measurement errors that inflate contingency allowances on many Brooklyn projects.
