Houzz Pro
Create a New Estimate
On the first version of the Houzz Pro mobile app, the pros could only view their estimates. We wanted to make a big change and to let pros create estimates on site. Therefore, this feature was highly anticipated.
Creating documents on a mobile screen could become a very complex task so my goal was to keep it as simple as possible.
Entry Point
When a pro is on a project page, he can tap the plus fab button and open a menu for creating an estimate. Once 'From scratch' is selected the doc is created in an empty state with a clear CTA to add parts.
Adding Parts to an Estimate
Houzz pro parts library is a huge database with more than 193 categories and thousands of parts.
The goal was to make the process of adding parts easy and quick while saving the need to edit the table later. Therefore, when a part is selected a from sheet would open where the pro can edit all the values. The fields are not mandatory and can always be edited later.
Create a New Part
Although Houzz pro parts library is huge, we know sometimes pros want to create their own parts. Tapping 'Create new part' will open a form sheet with fields to add parts values. Once done; the part is created and added to the estimate.
Create Part Empty State
To make the job of creating parts even easier, I have implemented an empty state when searching for parts. If a part does not exist, it will show on the search results with the button 'create'. This feature saves pro a lot of time creating new parts and saving them to their library.
