Homeowners and builders are talking about one thing when electrical systems age out: wirehome. The term sums up every activity required to strip out unsafe conductors, bring panels up to code, and future-proof a property for smart devices. In fast-moving residential construction, knowing how to tackle a wirehome efficiently—and profitably—can make or break a project.
Before CountBricks entered the scene, contractors faced an uphill battle with every wirehome assignment.
• Manual blueprint takeoffs could take days and were prone to missed circuits
• Pricing fluctuations for copper, breakers, and smart switches turned yesterday’s estimate into today’s loss
• Homeowners demanded speed and transparency yet received handwritten quotes full of assumptions
• Field crews discovered scope gaps because office estimates did not match site conditions
CountBricks combines AI, real-time voice capture, and live cost databases to erase guesswork. Whether you are a solo electrician or a general contractor running multiple crews, our platform delivers:
• Real-time material pricing pulled directly into every estimate
• Voice-to-estimate workflows—speak on site, receive a line-item budget in seconds
• AI blueprint takeoffs that recognize outlets, panels, and run lengths without tedious clicking
• Instant quote documents branded with your logo and ready to e-mail before you leave the driveway
• Seamless conversion of estimates into invoices once the work is complete
Explore each feature in depth at CountBricks.com/services.
1. Upload PDF plans or snap smartphone photos of the existing panel and floor layout.
2. Walk the house, dictating circuit counts: “Kitchen GFCI—five outlets.” The AI captures every word.
3. CountBricks cross-references your voice notes with the plan set and auto-creates a circuit schedule.
4. Live databases inject up-to-the-minute costs for Romex, breakers, and smart dimmers.
5. Approve or adjust margins, then generate a branded proposal on the spot.
6. When the homeowner signs digitally, convert the estimate to a work order with one click.
Residential rewiring is never just about running new cable. Each jurisdiction applies its own amendments to the National Electrical Code. CountBricks stays ahead by mapping local code data to your job site’s ZIP code. If you forget AFCI protection in a bedroom, the platform flags it immediately, saving you costly re-inspections.

• Schedule inspections directly from the platform’s calendar to avoid downtime
• Generate progressive invoices synced to project milestones to keep cash flowing
Today’s clients rarely want “just wiring.” They imagine voice-controlled lighting, EV chargers, and solar inverters. CountBricks helps you map these add-ons during the initial walkthrough, positioning you as a consultant rather than a commodity electrician.

A Birmingham homeowner contacted CountBricks Certified Contractor, BrightSpark Electric, to replace cloth wiring and add smart controls. Traditional takeoffs projected three full days just to price the job. Instead, BrightSpark used CountBricks.
