PALO ALTO, Calif. - Houzz Inc., the leading platform for home remodeling and design, launched new tools for residential builders, remodelers and designers to manage multiple projects, improve communication and enhance team collaboration using Houzz Pro, the industry’s leading all-in-one project management and design software.  

New features include: 
Team Chat is an instant messaging platform within Houzz Pro that enables pros to quickly communicate and share project-related files with team members in real-time, improving information sharing across platforms and between the field and office. 

Monthly Digest, a report of financial information on payments, time and expenses, daily logs and lead summaries across all of a company’s projects. Generated by Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Monthly Digest makes it easier for business owners and administrators of large firms to understand overall business progress and project status without having to manually check on each individual project.

Voice-Over-Notes, which transcribes commentary for daily logs and notes as pros speak into their devices while capturing images and videos of the job site. Powered by Houzz Pro’s proprietary AI technology, AutoMate AI, the tool uses voice activation to help pros create an organized and easily accessible record of their work.

"Managing large construction and design firms with multiple projects and teams requires smooth coordination and access to timely information," said Alon Cohen, Houzz co-founder and CEO. "With the new Houzz Pro features, we’re equipping our customers – whether in the office or on-site – with the tools and information they need to keep their projects on track and take on more business. And the results are undeniable. On average, professionals using Houzz Pro saw 40% revenue growth in their second year using the software.*"

Garrett Guthrie of Guthrie Construction, said, “We’ve tripled the capacity of the business in six months due to the organization and automation in Houzz Pro.”

The new tools are fully integrated into the software, which empowers pros to manage their entire project lifecycle in one place, including Estimates, Takeoffs, 3D Floor Plans, Online Payments, and more.
