Houzz Pro Launches Smart Contracts Tool for Faster Project Agreements

WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Houzz Inc., the leading all-in-one platform for construction and design, has announced a major upgrade to its project management software: Contracts within Houzz Pro, a new tool designed to simplify, accelerate, and centralize how professionals handle project agreements.

The new Houzz Pro Contracts feature gives construction, remodeling, and design professionals the ability to create, send, and finalize contracts directly within the same platform they already use to manage estimates, invoicing, selections, and client communications.

By eliminating the need for third-party tools, Houzz aims to help contractors and designers save time, reduce administrative burden, and move projects forward without unnecessary delays.

“Contracts are the foundation of every project, yet managing them has traditionally been a complex process,” said Alon Cohen, Houzz co-founder and CEO. “With the new Houzz Pro Contracts tool, building, remodeling and design professionals can finalize agreements quickly, stay organized and deliver an end-to-end client experience that inspires confidence and builds lasting trust.”

Streamlined Contract Management in One Place

According to Houzz, contracts sent through Houzz Pro are signed on average in just over two days, compared to roughly one week using traditional methods. The feature combines automation and real-time updates to make contract execution smoother and more transparent for both professionals and clients.

Key features of the new Houzz Pro Contracts tool include:

• Smart Text: Automatically fills in project, client, and subcontractor details with one click, reducing repetitive data entry.
• Built-in eSignatures: Enables fast and secure signing from any device.
• Preloaded Contract Templates: Eliminates the need to source agreements externally.
• Custom Branding: Allows users to include their own logo and letterhead.
• Centralized Cloud Storage: Keeps all signed contracts, revisions, and activity logs in one place.
• Comment Tracking: Makes it easy to review updates or requested changes.
• Notifications and Reminders: Alerts users in real time when contracts are opened, viewed, or signed.

These tools not only speed up approval processes but also help pros maintain compliance and clear communication throughout a project’s lifecycle.

Available to U.S. Pros with Custom Packages

The new contracts functionality is now available to all “Custom” package subscribers in the U.S. It integrates seamlessly into Houzz Pro’s existing suite of business tools, which includes Estimates, Takeoffs, 3D Floor Plans, Invoicing, Online Payments, and Client Collaboration features.

By combining financial management, visual design, and documentation in one hub, Houzz continues to position itself as a comprehensive platform for running efficient, profitable construction and design businesses.

Part of a Broader Digital Evolution

Houzz’s latest innovation reflects a growing shift toward AI-powered project management solutions in the construction and design industry. With over 3 million professionals and 70 million homeowners using the platform worldwide, the addition of built-in contracts aims to further streamline collaboration between pros and clients.

“By embedding contracts directly into Houzz Pro,” Cohen said, “we’re helping professionals reduce complexity, keep clients informed, and maintain the kind of transparency that drives long-term trust and repeat business.”
