Reconstruct

- An owner running projects in several countries who wants to cut executive site visits without accepting the contractor’s self-reported percentage completenot Houzz Pro
- A healthcare or data centre fit-out where above-ceiling services must be recorded before they are closed up, so later maintenance does not require demolitionnot Houzz Pro

Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Houzz Pro
- The Pro plan includes only 1 seat and additional users cost $60 per user per month
- Plans are gated by annual project volume, with Pro limited to up to $500,000, Custom covering $500,000 to $5M and Enterprise required above $5M
- Advertising packages are a separate add-on starting at $499 per month on top of the software subscription
- No monthly subscription price for any tier is shown on the pricing page
- Takeoffs, scheduling, selections boards, daily logs, budgets, bid management, change orders and financial reporting are not in the free basic plan
Reconstruct
- Pricing is quoted with nothing published, so a buyer cannot sanity-check a proposal against a list rate and has no way to know whether the price scales with projects, square footage or users until deep in the sales process.
- The whole value depends on disciplined recurring capture, and site teams treat walking the building with a camera as a low-priority chore, so datasets go stale exactly when a dispute makes them valuable.
- Photogrammetry from handheld footage is less accurate than laser scanning, so it is fine for progress and coordination but should not be relied on for tight as-built tolerances or prefabrication dimensions.
- Schedule alignment requires a well-structured schedule with activities that map to physical locations; on projects where the programme is a coarse rolled-up bar chart the progress calculation is close to meaningless.
- It is another platform alongside Procore or Autodesk Construction Cloud rather than a replacement, so buyers add a subscription and a workflow rather than consolidating one, and the business case has to survive that.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Houzz Pro: How much do additional Houzz Pro users cost?
Additional user seats on the Houzz Pro plan cost $60 per user per month.
SourceReconstruct: How much does Reconstruct cost?
Not published. It is quoted per project or portfolio. Ask specifically whether the price scales by project count, square footage or capture volume, because those give very different totals.
Houzz Pro: What is the cost of Houzz Pro's advertising package?
Houzz Pro offers an add-on advertising package starting at $499 per month.
SourceReconstruct: Do we need a drone or a laser scanner?
No. It works from 360 cameras and even smartphone video. Drones and scanners improve exterior and accuracy-critical coverage.
Houzz Pro: Is there a free trial for Houzz Pro?
Houzz Pro offers a 30-day free trial with no credit card required and includes a free basic plan with 3D Floor Planner, Estimates, and Invoicing.
SourceReconstruct: How accurate is it?
Accurate enough for progress, coordination and dispute evidence. It is not a substitute for survey-grade laser scanning where tolerances matter.
Reconstruct: Who owns the captured data at closeout?
The customer. Confirm the export format and retention terms in the contract before handover, because a reality archive is only useful if you can still open it in five years.
Reconstruct: Does it replace Procore?
No. It integrates with Procore and Autodesk Construction Cloud and adds the visual as-built layer.
