About

CountBricks is an AI-powered construction estimating software designed to help contractors, remodelers, and tradespeople bid faster and more accurately. By leveraging artificial intelligence, CountBricks eliminates the tedious manual work of construction estimation — users simply upload PDF plans or describe their project using natural language or voice input, and the platform instantly produces detailed, line-by-line estimates complete with materials, labor tasks, and locally-adjusted pricing. The platform doubles as an AI takeoff tool, automatically measuring lengths, areas, and counts from drawings or project descriptions. Once quantities are generated, users can build fully priced estimates, adjust assemblies, swap products, and tune pricing to match their local market and crew costs. Finished estimates can be exported as clean, client-ready proposals or quotes within minutes. CountBricks is built for a wide range of construction professionals — from general contractors and home builders to specialized trades such as plumbers, electricians, HVAC technicians, roofers, landscapers, and handymen. The platform is web and mobile-friendly, making it easy to generate estimates on-the-go during job walks. Users report saving 8+ hours per week on estimating and generating over $95,000 in additional annual revenue by closing more deals faster. The tool also includes client management, invoicing, change orders, and a Trade-Connect feature, making it a comprehensive business tool for construction professionals. A 7-day free trial is available with no credit card required.
