The term wirehome has become the go-to phrase for homeowners and contractors searching for ways to modernize aging electrical systems. Whether you are tackling a complete gut renovation or upgrading a single apartment, correctly wiring a home is mission-critical for safety, energy efficiency, and future smart-tech integration. At CountBricks, we combine conversational AI estimating with seasoned field expertise to streamline every step of the rewiring process.
• A boom in remote work has driven the need for more outlets, higher amperage panels, and robust data cabling.
• Rapid adoption of EV chargers, heat pumps, and induction ranges requires upgraded service mains.
• Insurance carriers increasingly refuse coverage for knob-and-tube or aluminum branch wiring.
• Smart-home devices need clean, consistent power and structured low-voltage pathways.
1. Scattered jobsite data leads to change-order surprises.
2. Manual takeoffs delay bids and frustrate clients waiting for pricing.
3. Price swings for copper, PVC, and breakers erode profit margins.
4. Permit packages and inspection reports devour office hours.
CountBricks removes these bottlenecks by letting you speak naturally into our mobile app while walking the property. Our AI turns that conversation into a full material list, labor scope, and Gantt-style schedule before you reach the driveway.
1. Voice Capture: Dictate room-by-room details—existing service size, desired amperage, appliance loads, and special finishes—into CountBricks on your phone.
2. Instant Takeoff: The platform pulls blueprint data or feeds from LiDAR scans to calculate precise linear footage of NM-B cable, EMT conduit, and low-voltage runs.
3. Real-Time Pricing: CountBricks connects to live supplier feeds, updating copper and breaker costs by the minute.
4. Code Compliance Check: Our rules engine flags AFCI/GFCI locations, arc-fault panel requirements, and local NYC amendments so nothing is missed at inspection.
5. Client-Ready Quote: In seconds, a branded PDF and interactive web quote populate with scope, timeline, exclusions, and optional smart-home packages.
6. One-Click Invoice: When the homeowner approves, the estimate flips to an invoice synced with your accounting software.
• Slash estimating time by up to 80 % while boosting bid accuracy.
• Capture material cost fluctuations daily to protect your margins.
• Win trust with transparent, itemized quotes homeowners understand.
• Reduce inspection failures through automatic code verification.
• Integrate options for solar, battery storage, and EV circuits at the push of a button.
The Rodriguez brownstone in Manhattan’s Upper West Side faced flickering lights and insufficient amperage for a planned ground-floor rental unit. Using CountBricks, the electrical contractor generated a full wirehome estimate—panel upgrade to 200 A, 84 new circuits, and Cat6 data backbone—in 27 minutes during the initial walkthrough. Copper prices spiked 9 % two weeks later, but the live-pricing lock saved the contractor \$4,100. The project passed DOB inspection on the first visit thanks to CountBricks’ embedded NYC amendments checklist.
Our algorithm cross-checks blueprint areas, LiDAR measurements, and typical scrap factors. Most users report variance under 2 %, well below industry norms.
Absolutely. The same voice-to-estimate workflow supports stacked risers, meter banks, and shared service gear.
Speak the change into the app, and a revised quote is generated instantly. Homeowners e-sign digitally, keeping your paper trail airtight.
• Walk the route of every feeder run with CountBricks open so the AI catches joist bay obstructions.
• Photograph panel schedules; the images auto-attach to the estimate for quick reference.
• Offer surge protection and whole-home arc-fault upgrades as high-margin add-ons displayed in the interactive quote.
• Sync CountBricks with your preferred distributor account to reserve breakers the moment the estimate is sent.
• Use the blueprint overlay feature to color-code existing versus new circuits, preventing demo crews from cutting live feeds.
If you are planning a wirehome project—or bidding one this afternoon—head to CountBricks.com/services to start a free trial. Speak your first estimate into existence and see why leading NYC electricians rely on CountBricks to light up their bottom line.
CountBricks is more than an estimating tool—it is a full-cycle project platform built for residential electricians who refuse to leave money on the table.
• Our calculator auto-sizes service conductors, grounding electrodes, and overcurrent protection based on NEC demand factors and your spoken appliance list.
• If the homeowner adds an induction range mid-project, CountBricks recalculates service size instantly, preventing costly re-work.
1. Drag-and-drop tasks populate from the accepted estimate.
2. Dependencies (e.g., rough-in before insulation) alert you when drywall crews are scheduled too early.
3. Push notifications keep field techs updated without endless group texts.
• Once an estimate is approved, CountBricks auto-generates POs tied to your distributor’s SKUs.
• Real-time stock validation prevents last-minute breaker shortages.
A two-family duplex built in 1920 needed a complete wirehome overhaul to support mini-split HVAC and EV charging. By leveraging dynamic load calculations, the contractor discovered a 150 A service was sufficient—saving \$3,800 in unnecessary gear. Tasks auto-sequenced around plaster repair crews, trimming the schedule by four days. Supplier POs ensured every arc-fault breaker arrived on time, eliminating downtime and rental charges on a scissor lift.
