WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Houzz Inc., the leading platform for home remodeling and design, has introduced a groundbreaking AI-powered feature in Houzz Pro that allows professionals to instantly generate project schedules from estimates. This new tool, part of Houzz Pro’s AutoMate AI suite, streamlines the schedule creation process by automatically generating schedule items based on key elements from estimates or proposals, saving professionals significant time and improving accuracy.
"Houzz Pro’s AutoMate AI makes work more efficient, informed and connected, boosting overall productivity and creating a competitive advantage for our customers," said Alon Cohen, Houzz co-founder and CEO. "Applying AI to create a project schedule from an estimate saves builders, remodelers and designers significant time so they can focus on more strategic and creative work. By expediting the schedule development process, pros can plan and get projects underway more quickly, including requesting bids from subcontractors."
To generate a Schedule from an Estimate or Proposal, pros simply click the "Create Schedule" button on their estimate. AutoMate AI will analyze the estimate items and generate a schedule with likely durations, which can then be customized by adding the project start date and adjusting the timeline.
Additionally, Houzz Pro now allows pros to convert any 3D Floor Plan into an estimate or proposal. Once the estimate or proposal is created, they can adjust quantities, duplicate items, or add pricing, saving time by eliminating duplicate data entry.
Houzz Pro offers an all-in-one platform that helps professionals win projects, collaborate with clients and teams, and run their businesses efficiently. These new AI-driven tools are integrated into the software, empowering pros to manage the entire project lifecycle, from takeoffs and selections to invoicing and online payments.
"By reducing manual work and enhancing efficiency, Houzz Pro’s new features enable professionals to provide a better client experience and streamline project management," said Cohen.
