Houzz Launches Selections for Houzz Pro
The tool gives builders and remodelers a platform to choose and review products and materials with their clients
Houzz has announced Selections within Houzz Pro, the all-in-one business management and marketing software for builders, remodelers and design professionals. The Selections tool provides a collaborative, highly visual platform for residential contractors and their clients to review and agree on materials and finishes for their project. Selections is available to all builders and remodelers who have a Pro or Ultimate subscription to Houzz Pro in the U.S. (and soon in other markets) and is fully integrated into Houzz Pro — making it easy to move from the planning phase into construction.
Compile and Present Project Materials and Products
With the Selections tool, residential builders and remodelers can create visually compelling digital product and material presentations for each room, area or product type in a project. These presentations can include all of the recommended product and material options, along with key details like prices and brands.

Integrate Your Houzz Product Library
To help clients see the bigger design picture, pros can also include design elements in their presentations, such as Houzz Pro 3D Floor Plans and Mood Boards. With the Budget Tracker, both the contractor and the client can see how each product or material selection impacts the budget or allowances for the space.

Meanwhile, builders and remodelers can easily reference all communication around each product or room, including internal and client-facing notes, via the project dashboard. A convert feature easily turns the list of approved items into an estimate, invoice or purchase order.
The tool has already garnered praise from Houzz Pro users.
“Selections has really streamlined our design team’s process and workflow, and we love that it’s so easy to use,” says Danny Wang, president, DW Development and principal designer of Danny Wang Design. “For design-build firms like ours, there’s huge value in documenting the interactions with our clients, together with their final decisions. Plus our clients, our design and our build teams are always on the same page because they can reference those selections anytime in the Houzz Pro platform.”
