Hey everyone 👋 Today, we’re rolling out one of the most practical AI tools you can use on site or during quoting - Google’s new Nano Banana image editor. This tool lets you take a photo of a driveway, fence line, yard, or any site condition… and instantly generate a realistic “after” version right in front of your customer. No design team, no special software — just your phone. If you quote work, manage projects, or deal with clients at all, this is a complete game-changer. With it, you can: ✅ Show clients exactly what the finished job will look like ✅ Offer upgrades on the spot (fence styles, concrete types, edging, etc.) ✅ Avoid misunderstandings and disputes ✅ Build trust instantly with visuals rather than explanations ✅ Put yourself miles ahead of contractors still saying “trust me, it’ll look good” 👉 The full lesson is now live in the Classroom (Under Solutions – Show Clients the Job Before you Start) 👉 Make sure to download the resource pack — it includes prompts, workflows, and examples you can take straight to site. This is one of those tools that pays off the same day you try it. Whether you’re quoting fences, driveways, or renovations, you’ll immediately see how powerful visual clarity is for customers. 💬 Once you’ve watched it, share an example image in the comments. I’d love to see what you create and the reactions you get from clients. More lessons coming soon!

Hey everyone 👋 Today marks the start of something big... The first lesson in our AI for Construction course inside The AI Construction Academy. This series is designed to take you from beginner to expert, giving you a complete, real-world understanding of how AI actually fits into construction. We’re kicking things off with the foundations, a clear breakdown of how AI actually works so you can finally understand what’s happening behind the scenes when you use tools like ChatGPT, and how that knowledge helps you get more out of every prompt, workflow, or automation you build. 👉 Watch the full video in the Classroom (under Foundations - How AI Actually Works) 👉 Grab the free resource pack while you’re there. It ties the lesson back to real construction examples you’ll recognise on-site and in the office. Over the coming days and weeks, I’ll be rolling out the full set of lessons covering everything from prompting and platforms to custom GPTs, job-site use cases, and hands-on tools you can start using straight away. This is where it all starts, the foundation for every AI workflow we’ll build together inside AICA. 💬 Once you’ve watched it, drop a comment below sharing what finally clicked for you. I think a lot of things are about to.

Here’s a quick sneak peek into one of my favourite and easy solutions. A Custom GPT trained on WorkSafe NZ guidelines that acts like a 24/7 safety advisor in your pocket.The best part?
