About

The Product

Brixem AI is a construction intelligence platform for homeowners and teams. Scoping, costing, scheduling, and contractor collaboration in one place.

An AI assistant sits at the center of every action, turning natural language into projects, rooms, tasks, budgets, and schedules. The experience was refined through UX testing for both homeowner and contractor workflows.

Problems

What I was up against

Problem 01
Trust in AI planning
Make AI renovation planning feel clear, trusted, and usable for everyone, not like a black box that invents rooms and budgets without consent.
Problem 02
Real stakes, nested progress
Budgets, tasks, and room-level status are interconnected. Users needed to see progress without drowning in every nested detail at once.
Problem 03
Two users, one product
Homeowners and contractors share the same platform but need different depth. One product had to work for both without forcing the same complexity.

Solutions

How I solved it

Confirm before commit
AI creates rooms, tasks, and budgets from natural language, but users always review a clear confirmation card first. That keeps output structured, trusted, and easy to correct.
Show only what you need next
Progressive disclosure surfaces simple KPIs first, then deeper rooms and tasks when needed. Homeowners and contractors get the same product without the same complexity.
