6 Time-Saving Strategies for Housing Pros to Stay on Task

Running a home building business is no easy task, so finding ways to work more efficiently without sacrificing quality is essential. To find more ways to save housing industry professionals time and money, home remodeling and design platform Houzz spoke with six industry professionals about the time-saving strategies they swear by.

Their suggestions include using pre-made email templates for responding to clients; planning out their schedule far in advance; and openly communicating with clients and team members to make sure all tasks are accounted for early on, among other tactics.

For Clark Harris, owner of Innovative Design Build in Atlanta, the key to daily efficiency is being intentional with his time.

“I am very protective of my time — all you have in life is time and I want to make the most of it,” he says. “If you are not intentional about how you spend your days, weeks, months and years, then someone else will control your fate. If, for example, you open up your email and work out of that, then everyone emailing you is controlling your day.”
