Home Depot Launches AI Material List Builder to Speed Job Planning for Pros
The Home Depot, the world's largest home improvement retailer, has introduced Material List Builder AI, a new tool designed to help professional contractors quickly assemble complete materials lists for construction and renovation projects. The AI-powered feature leverages AI to understand project intent and allows pros to describe a job or upload project details, then generates a tailored list of products needed, helping teams stay on time and within budget. The goal is to reduce time spent planning and sourcing materials while minimizing errors that can delay jobs or require additional store runs.
The launch reflects broader adoption of AI tools aimed at improving productivity in the construction and home improvement sectors. Pros can write up project details, use voice-to-text options, paste an existing list or leverage an existing template when looking to generate a materials list. For Home Depot, embedding AI directly into the pro purchasing workflow aligns with its strategy to deepen engagement with contractors and small businesses. For pros, faster and more accurate materials planning could translate into tighter schedules, better cost control and improved customer satisfaction.
