My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

What would you put in it to keep the strangers at bay?

    Lampreys. I just think they are creepy. Maybe with lasers, because who doesn't like lasers?
