Switching from Houzz Pro to BuildX, in a weekend.
Self-serve import steps for contacts, jobs, and history from Houzz Pro. No sales calls, no migration fees, no downtime mid-season.
Step 1: Export what you own
Export contacts, projects, estimates, invoices, and client messages from Houzz Pro. Download design files, 3D assets, mood boards, and project photos per project before any cancel.
Save plan sets, contracts, and closeout documents to a folder per job. You will reattach the live ones in step 3.
Step 2: Import in this order
Contacts first with review and profile links saved, then cost database and assemblies, then open projects with current selections and payment status so nothing booked gets lost.
Open jobs next with current budget and schedule status, not full history. History follows once the crew trusts the new numbers.
Step 3: Cut over one job
Run one committed remodel fully in BuildX: selections with deadlines in a link-open portal, change orders that sign digitally, and invoices from budget lines. Prove it where the stakes are real but contained.
Then move the rest. Most shops finish the overlap in two to four weeks and wonder why they waited.
Questions shops ask
Do I need to talk to sales to migrate?
No. Every step above is self-serve. If you want help, the help center and contact page reach working humans.
What happens to my history?
Closed-job records import as reference files attached to customers, so the story stays searchable without polluting live budgets.
Do my Houzz reviews and profile survive?
Your Houzz profile and reviews stay on Houzz; link them from your BuildX Contractor ID profile so discovery compounds. Decide separately whether Houzz lead spend still pays, while every committed job runs on BuildX budgets, portals, and invoices you own outright.
How long does the switch take?
One weekend for setup and the pilot job, then two to four weeks of overlap while remaining jobs move. Most shops cut over fully once the pilot invoice reconciles.
