Hosted by Liza Hausman, vice president of industry marketing at Houzz, the series provides both inspiration and time-tested, real-world strategies for success.
In episode 7, “3D Visualization Today,” Houzz Pro’s director of product management for 3D tools, Sean Corriel, talks about how design and remodeling companies are using 3D visualization to wow clients and land projects — at a lower cost than ever before.

What’s in the Episode?
“Three-D has become so important, not just for the design and planning that professionals need to do, but also to communicate their designs to their clients,” says Corriel, who has a master’s degree in architecture from Harvard’s Graduate School of Design. And “being able to capture a 3D spatial plan and 3D model from the jobsite is a huge deal.”
In this episode, Corriel shares how Houzz Pro’s 3D floor plans combined with augmented reality can give clients an unbeatable way to visualize designs. Moreover, you can scan a 3D model of your job from your mobile phone, and start designing in 3D back at the office — meaning you can present designs in record time. Letting clients know about that upfront is “a big wow moment” in the sales process, Corriel says. “We hear that all the time.”
Corriel also discusses:
- The difference between AR and VR
- How to capture 3D data with Houzz Pro
- How to easily create photorealistic images from 3D plans
- Using 3D and AR to get buy-in from clients
- Artificial intelligence and where technology might be heading
