Manual work and rework.
Writing contracts, invoices, and calculating pricing by hand invites human error, inconsistent contracts, and hours lost dealing with the fallout.

More upgrades.
Less administrative burden.
HomeGyde removes the manual work of running upgrade programs. It eliminates long appointments, pricing errors, and contract mistakes.
This frees your décor consultants to focus on what matters: helping buyers select the right upgrades.
The Problem
Error-prone traditional methods.
Running a design program with spreadsheets and manual entry causes constant friction:
- Pricing calculation errors that eat into margins.
- Inconsistent contracts that lead to customer disputes.
- Onsite installation errors caused by inconsistent contracts.
This administrative burden pulls your team away from what matters most: driving upgrade revenue.
What décor consultants tell us
"We should be helping buyers buy upgrades, but we spend most of our time putting out fires."

The Stakes
When selections aren't streamlined, everyone pays.
A broken selection process is not just a décor problem. It runs straight through construction and lands on ownership.
Construction
Trades wait, construction stalls.
Construction waits on the selections team to finalize choices and sign off contracts. Every delay ripples downstream, pushing back installs, inspections, and closings.
Ownership
Slipped closings, carrying costs.
Pushed closings keep financing costs accruing and capital tied up. Lengthy buyer disputes drag on and weigh on reviews and referrals.
The Solution
A system that streamlines selections.
To eliminate the headaches of manual paperwork, you need a system that automatically handles the logic for your team.
HomeGyde is that system.
It automatically generates accurate pricing and contracts, so your consultants focus on what matters: helping buyers purchase upgrades.

End to End
Design selections, end to end.
HomeGyde runs design selections across the full buyer journey: from online browsing, to the décor center appointment, to final contract signing.
Your pricing logic and design rules carry forward across communities, so performance stays consistent with every new launch.
Stage 1 · Online
Design selections start at home.
Buyers receive a welcome email with a link that launches your branded online selections process. They can take their time choosing options, step by step.
Stage 2 · Design Center
Continue on the touchscreen.
Buyers walk into the décor center already informed. They continue from where they left off online, using the same interactive system.
Stage 3 · Signature
Auto-generated contracts.
Once selections are made, invoices and contracts are generated automatically, reducing errors, disputes, and costly construction rework.
The Critical Path
Selections sit on the critical path.
Every design selection contract feeds something downstream: a trade order, a bulk purchase, an install date. When selections stall, everything else stalls too.
Sale signed
Buyer commits.
Selections locked
Stall here and everything after stalls too.
On the critical path
Trade orders sent
Locked selections become bulk purchase orders.
Install & closing
Trades arrive; buyer takes possession.
