Houzz Pro Simplifies Project Documentation and Communication

• New mobile capabilities help construction and design professionals document project decisions, reduce miscommunication and keep projects moving from anywhere

Houzz Inc., the leading AI-driven platform for construction and design, today announced a new suite of mobile documentation and communication tools within Houzz Pro, the all-in-one project management and design software that helps professionals win projects, collaborate with clients and teams, and run more efficient and profitable businesses. The new mobile capabilities help pros to capture in-person conversations, document site progress, communicate across language barriers and stay productive in areas with no cellular or Wi-Fi connectivity. 

At the centre of the update are new AI-powered documentation tools, including in-person meeting recording with automatic transcription and summaries allowing pros to capture important conversations about project changes, approvals and next steps with clients and leads, and two-way video walkthroughs that allow teams to document progress with narrated updates that are automatically transcribed and organised within the project. The release also includes multilingual messaging to support communication across language barriers and offline project access for working in areas with limited or no internet connectivity, all integrated directly into the Houzz Pro app.

"Every project depends on clear communication, yet critical decisions and details are often buried in phone calls, text messages or handwritten notes. By centralising communication and documentation directly within the project workflow, Houzz Pro helps reduce missed details, improve accountability and keep projects moving forward," said Alon Cohen, Houzz co-founder and CEO. "Advances in Houzz AI have also created new opportunities to turn videos into searchable transcripts and actionable next steps. With these new mobile tools, pros can automatically capture and organise critical project information, creating a reliable record that keeps teams aligned and reduces miscommunication, helping projects run more smoothly."

New Houzz Pro mobile communication updates include:

• AI Note-taking for Meetings: Pros can choose to record in-person meetings with clients and prospective clients through the Houzz Pro app, automatically generating a full transcript and audio file stored within the correct project. The feature helps reduce manual note-taking and ensures important details are not lost.

• Two-Way Video Daily Logs: A new camera walkthrough mode enables pros to capture both the jobsite and the speaker simultaneously, enabling field teams to document what was completed, why decisions were made and action items in a single recording. Houzz AI automatically transcribes the video and organises it within the project files, transforming a traditionally multi-step documentation process into a single action.

• Translations for Messages: Pros, teammates, clients and subcontractors can communicate more effectively across language barriers with built-in translations for Messages and Daily Logs. Pros can choose automatic or manual translations and view translated text alongside the original message or replace it entirely for a simpler view.

• Offline Mode: Pros can access essential project information and create typed or voice notes when working in areas with limited cellular or Wi-Fi connectivity. Ideal for remote locations, new developments, basements and other low-connectivity environments, Offline Mode automatically syncs information once a device reconnects, ensuring productivity continues uninterrupted wherever work happens.

"Before Houzz Pro, we were juggling phone calls, text messages, site videos and handwritten notes to keep projects documented," said Josh Brown, CEO and president of Brown Design and Construction. "Now we can capture jobsite updates directly in Houzz Pro, and everything is automatically organised within the project. It saves our team time, keeps clients informed and gives us confidence that important details won't slip through the cracks."

The new tools are available to all Houzz Pro subscribers. Houzz Pro keeps project conversations, site updates and documentation connected to Schedules, Estimates, Financials, Client Communications and other project information in a single platform. The new capabilities complement Houzz Pro's comprehensive suite of business management and design tools, including Invoicing, Takeoffs, 3D Floor Plans, Mood Boards and more.
