Home renovation and design platform Houzz Inc. has announced the launch of new tools for industry professionals that make it easier to manage complex projects, stay organised and reduce costly errors using Houzz Pro, an all-in-one project management and design software. The tools include the Subcontractor Dashboard, Google Drive Integration and Photo Documentation.
“We understand the unique complexities that come with managing large teams and projects. With the release of these tools, we’re simplifying the process for larger firms, helping them track all the moving pieces of their projects in one place,” said Alon Cohen, Houzz co-founder and CEO. “By getting everyone on the same page, Houzz Pro software helps reduce errors and identify potential issues that could impact project timelines and budgets.”
The new tools include:
-
Subcontractor Dashboard: The Houzz Pro Subcontractor Dashboard helps building and renovation firms align with subcontractors (e.g., electricians and plumbers), giving firms the ability to share access to the project information subcontractors need to do work on time and on budget, including the project schedule, assigned tasks and key files.
-
Google Drive Integration: Houzz Pro’s Google Drive Integration enables pros to further streamline their project and file management. Now, pros can pull files and photos straight from their Google Drive into project documents within Houzz Pro, including estimates, invoices or daily logs. This helps pros both save time, eliminating the need to download and reupload files, and keeps projects organised by housing a single source of truth directly in Houzz Pro.
-
Photo Documentation: With Photo Documentation capabilities in Houzz Pro, pros can create an organised and easily accessible record of their work by saving an unlimited number of photos directly to a project’s Daily Logs or Files and Folders. Daily logs can be shared internally to track job-site activity, ensure crew alignment and safeguard against liabilities. Pros can also share daily logs (including photos) with clients, giving them transparency into project progress.
Houzz Pro helps pros win projects, collaborate with clients and teams, and run their businesses efficiently and profitably, while delivering an outstanding client experience. The new tools are fully integrated into the software, which empowers pros to manage their entire project lifecycle in one place including Estimates, 3D Floor Plans, Selections, Invoices and Online Payments, and more.
