Houzz Pro: Remodeler business suite + takeoff
A Houzz Pro takeoff alternative
that reads the plans for you.
Houzz Pro is a business suite for remodelers and designers: leads, CRM, mood boards, invoicing, and a takeoff tool where you measure plans yourself. Vereyo focuses on estimating. The AI reads the plans and produces a priced, trade-by-trade estimate.
100+ Los Angeles builders trust Vereyo
The short answer
- Choose Houzz Pro if lead generation, client presentations and design tools matter most.
- Choose Vereyo if you need accurate, full-scope estimates from architectural plan sets.
What Vereyo does that Houzz Pro doesn't
Every trade, drawn on your plans
Not just areas or one trade's highlights: every wall, outlet, light, fixture, door, window, cabinet, room and roof plane Vereyo reads is painted right on the sheet, for all trades at once. You check the takeoff by looking at it, not by trusting a number. See something wrong? Fix it on the plan and the price updates.
Pricing calibrated on real local sub bids
Other tools hand you quantities and leave the prices to you. Vereyo prices every trade from assembly rates calibrated against real subcontractor bids in your market, and you can override any rate with your own.
State-of-the-art plan reading
Vereyo reads the PDF's own text layer for exact labels and dimensions, then uses modern vision AI to read the drawings: floor plans, elevations, RCPs, site plans, door, window and finish schedules. It sorts the sheets, finds each structure, and cross-checks one sheet against another.
Built by a GC with 25 years in the field
Vereyo wasn't designed by a software company guessing how builders estimate. It was built by a general contractor with 25 years of residential experience, and the trade breakdown matches how a builder actually prices a job.

Full plan sets need a reader, not a ruler
A small remodel is quick to measure by hand. A full new-construction plan set isn't. Vereyo reads the architectural, structural and MEP sheets and schedules together, paints what it found on each sheet, and prices it all.
Which one should you choose?
Choose Vereyo if…
- You price from full architectural plan sets.
- You want every trade estimated, not just the rooms you measure.
Choose Houzz Pro if…
- You're a small remodeler or designer who wants leads and client tools in one app.
- Your jobs are small enough that measuring by hand is quick.
