Aging electrical systems, exploding renovation demand, and a tech-savvy homeowner base have made “wire austin” a breakout search term. But speed-hungry searchers want more than generic advice—they need precise numbers they can trust. That’s exactly what CountBricks delivers. Our AI voice platform captures room-by-room details while you walk the property, then instantly maps tasks, materials, and local cost data into a polished proposal. No clipboards, no guesswork—just professional numbers you can forward straight to a homeowner or lender.
• Real-time Austin supply pricing pulled directly into each line item
• NEC-compliant task library customized for Central Texas inspections
• Instant permit fee calculations based on City of Austin schedules
• Blueprint takeoffs that convert PDF plans into auto-counted circuits
• Voice-driven workflows that finish an estimate before you leave the driveway
1. Scope of Work – Are you replacing knob-and-tube, adding a Tesla charger, or performing a whole-home gut rehab? CountBricks assigns standardized tasks—“Pull new 12-2 to kitchen GFCI” for example—so labor hours scale accurately.
2. Material Volatility – Copper, conduit, and breaker prices shift weekly. Because CountBricks syncs nightly with Austin distributors, your estimate reflects today’s wire spool cost, not last quarter’s.
3. Home Age & Construction Type – Pier-and-beam cottages differ from two-story new builds. Our AI factors attic access, drywall removal, and existing panel capacity so nothing falls through the cracks.
4. Inspection & Permit Fees – City fees can range $200–$1,200. CountBricks auto-populates the correct line based on square footage and service upgrade size.
• 1,200 sf bungalow partial re-wire: $8,500 – $12,000
• 2,500 sf full gut rehab: $18,000 – $26,000
• Panel upgrade to 200 amp service: $2,400 – $3,600
• EV charger circuit (50 amp): $750 – $1,200
Because these numbers shift weekly, plug your site notes into CountBricks.com/services for an up-to-the-minute figure before sending out a quote.

A 1950s 1,600 sf home near Zilker needed a full re-wire before short-term rental conversion. Using traditional methods, the contractor budgeted two days for takeoff and pricing. With CountBricks, the voice walk-through lasted 43 minutes and produced a line-item proposal within the hour. Material pricing flagged an unexpected spike in 12-3 NM cable, allowing the contractor to lock in supply before costs rose again. The homeowner signed in 24 hours, citing “the most detailed bid we received.”
• Missing arc-fault protection in bedroom circuits
• Insufficient service conductor sizing for solar tie-ins
• Lack of GFCI outlets within six feet of laundry sinks
• Undersized bonding for metal water lines
Because CountBricks bakes code tables into every task, these oversights are flagged before an inspector ever steps on site.
CountBricks isn’t just for quoting. Once approved, convert the estimate into a phased invoice schedule, sync with QuickBooks, and track field progress with photo uploads. Whether you’re wiring a new ADU in South Congress or upgrading a Westlake estate, the entire financial path lives in one platform.

A full home re-wire often reveals hidden surprises—plaster walls, mixed aluminum branch circuits, or a cramped Zinsco panel tucked behind pantry shelving. Traditional estimating falls apart when surprises appear mid-job. CountBricks tackles uncertainty up front.
• Our AI studies historical Austin data to recommend a contingency percentage based on home age and square footage.
• You adjust the slider during the voice walk-through: “Set contingency to 12 percent.”
