Built for: - Custom home builders managing a full pipeline of homeowner clients - Residential remodelers who also take on new-construction projects - Design-build firms that need the design and construction sides in one system ## Residential Construction Software FAQs ### What is residential construction software? Residential construction software is a business management platform built specifically for home builders, remodelers, and residential contractors—covering project management, scheduling, budgeting, and the client experience for custom home builds and renovations in one system. ### What is residential construction management software? Residential construction management software covers the day-to-day running of a residential job — scheduling, task management, budgets, and communication with clients and subcontractors — in one system. Houzz Pro brings all of it together with estimates, 3D visualization, and the client experience in the same platform. ### What software do construction professionals use? When looking for software that suits your needs, be sure to consider the following features: - Lead Management: Any construction business software should help you better manage your lead pipeline. It should be easy to see the status of all leads quickly, easy to find and communicate with leads and simple to tap into old leads when business is slow. - Project Management: Managing projects requires a ton of work, so your construction online software should come equipped with tools that help you prioritize projects, delegate work, build schedules and more. - Financial Tools: From getting paid on time to preparing for tax season, your construction business management software should have robust, yet intuitive financial tools that encourage you to keep your finances organized without taking up too much of your time. Houzz Pro’s construction app comes complete with all of these features and more.

Software built specifically for residential construction focuses on the parts of the job unique to working with a homeowner: visualizing the finished space, tracking selections, and giving clients visibility into budget and schedule, alongside the estimating and project management every builder needs. ### Can residential construction software handle both new builds and remodels? Yes—Houzz Pro supports new construction, remodeling, and design-build workflows in the same platform, so a business that does both doesn't need two separate systems. ### What features are included with a membership of Houzz Pro's residential construction company software?
