Homeline solves a common problem - communicating with contractors and tracking the progress of a remodeling project. Say goodbye to the vague and frustrating bills from your contractor, to the days playing phone tag and to the miscommunications. Homeline allows contractors and customers alike to track the progress, budget, and details of a remodeling venture. With this simple web app designed and built within a day, homes can be rebuilt, line by line. 

I worked side-by-side with the client to understand her vision. She'd recently been through a remodeling fiasco, so in this case, she was also a user. I could conduct user interviews and usability testing throughout the day as I was building screens.

To solve the communication issues between contractor and remodeling client, both would need to see the budget, schedule, and tasks of the remodeling project. 

I chose to let contractors and clients see the budget in two ways. First in a quick summary view, and second in an analysis-friendly view where either party can get down to the granular details and compare the bid of a project versus what was actually spent. This way everyone involved knows where the charges are coming from and communication between parties can be more direct and efficient.

Another source of confusion between clients and contractors is knowing what work is being currently being done, and what needs to happen next. Contractors managing several projects need to see what tasks need to be completed today, so I created the view below where they can see all their current projects with notifications for projects that require action. To make it even easier, there's another list at the bottom that shows all Scheduled Tasks for the day. 

But what if the contractor realizes they forgot a vital task? No problem, they can add it into the project and get approval from the client to proceed, all from within Homeline.
