Problem

Getting a renovation quote is slow and opaque. Homeowners needed a clear path from services → quotation type → cost preview without calling multiple contractors first.

Research

  • Mapped homeowner jobs: browse trades, request estimate, review breakdown, share/download.
  • Studied service-category IA (painting, electrical, plumbing, carpentry) for scan speed.
  • Kept material vs labour vs tax as separate trust blocks on preview.

Process

  • Designed a welcoming home with promo, service chips, AI quotation CTA, and recent quotes.
  • Built quotation-type selection with radio cards and an “Other” free-text path.
  • Crafted preview with room detail, cost stacks, AR video and PDF download actions.
  • Anchored navigation around Home, Quotations, Marketplace, and Profile.

Solution

  • Home that makes AI quotation the primary action.
  • Type selection that stays simple even with an “Other” escape hatch.
  • Preview that separates room facts from money so users can validate before download.

Learnings

  • AI estimate products still need human-readable cost stacks, not a single magic number.
  • Service chips + recent quotes keep return visits oriented without a heavy dashboard.
