Nashville’s booming residential market is matched only by its unpredictable weather. A sudden storm, burst pipe, or HVAC leak can saturate drywall, flooring, and framing in minutes. Left unchecked, that moisture invites mold growth, structural rot, and expensive re-work. Homeowners want answers now— not after a week of phone tag and manual data entry.
CountBricks steps in with AI-driven estimating, real-time materials pricing, and voice-powered onsite data capture to turn panic into a precise construction action plan.
Traditional contractors rely on manual takeoffs, outdated price books, and handwritten field notes. The result is slow turnaround and wide pricing variance. CountBricks replaces guesswork with data:
• Instant square-footage recognition from photos or blueprints
• Live material and labor feeds for Middle Tennessee zip codes
• Automated scope of work separating demolition, drying, and rebuild tasks
This transparency protects Nashville homeowners from surprise overruns while giving builders a profit-protected path to completion.
1. Voice Scan in the Field – The superintendent opens the CountBricks mobile app and narrates damage: “Kitchen ceiling collapsed, 200 sf hardwood affected, R-13 insulation saturated.”
2. Instant Quantities – CountBricks converts those sentences into line-items matched to I-Code assemblies and current Nashville pricing.
3. Automated Drying Plan – Our drying algorithm calculates required air movers, dehumidifiers, and run-time hours, adding them directly to the estimate.
4. Same-Day Proposal – Within minutes a branded PDF is emailed to the homeowner, complete with material SKUs and timeline milestones.
5. One-Click Invoice – When work is finished, the field manager says, “Close job,” and CountBricks generates an invoice that syncs with accounting software.

A July cloudburst overwhelmed a Bellevue homeowner’s sump pump, submerging 800 sf of finished basement. Using CountBricks:
• The PM captured site data in 11 minutes
• AI produced a $46,300 line-item estimate, including drying, framing, and LVP replacement
• Work commenced 24 hours post-loss, and an invoice synced to QuickBooks upon completion
The homeowner praised the clarity, and the contractor preserved a 12% net margin despite supply volatility.

1. Dynamic Drying Calculator
CountBricks factors Nashville’s average summer humidity into equipment runtimes. Enter room dimensions or capture a quick laser measurement and the platform recommends exact CFM airflow, pint-per-day dehumidification, and drying days. Builders avoid guesswork penalties from insurance adjusters and maintain a science-backed schedule.
2. Supplier Sync
Every morning, CountBricks pings regional distributors for updated pricing on lumber, drywall, flooring, and mechanical components. When you present a quote, SKUs are already validated for stock availability. That means fewer change orders, happier homeowners, and tighter project cash flow.
3. Voice-Activated Change Orders
Scope creep is common in water-damage rebuilds—hidden mold, code upgrades, homeowner finish upgrades. Say, “Add 120 sf porcelain tile at $4.10 per square,” and the system inserts the line-item, recalculates labor, and updates project gross margin in real-time. No clipboard, no spreadsheets—just spoken words converted to revenue clarity.
• Photograph moisture-meter readings and attach them in CountBricks for indisputable documentation
• Use the customer portal to let homeowners approve selections digitally, reducing site visits
• Bundle preventive upgrades—sump pump alarms, exterior drainage—within the same proposal to raise average ticket value
