METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ESTIMATING HOME REMODELING COSTS

摘要

A home remodeling cost estimator tool is used to create a cost breakdown for use when remodeling a house or a room, based on user interaction with photos, for example from such sites as Houzz.com and other proprietary data sources. For any photo in a photo database for such design sites, a user can work with the estimator to generate a price estimate and a breakdown for a building project.
