WEEK 12: Render the Sale — AI Visuals & Nano Banana for Contractors

Clients can't buy what they can't see. A line-item quote asks them to imagine the finished job and imagination loses to whoever shows up with a picture. AI changes that.

This week John walks through the full workflow: record your site visit, let a Claude skill extract the client's specs, generate a photorealistic render in Google AI Studio, and drop it into a branded proposal all before a competitor has even followed up.

🧠 What you'll learn:

- A Claude skill that reads your site visit transcript and outputs a ready-to-paste image generation prompt (including materials, colours, camera angle, and lighting)

- 8 prompting techniques that make AI renders look photorealistic: referencing actual product SKUs, marking up images to scope the exact area to change, using negative prompts, and specifying camera settings and time of day

- A live backyard transformation demo in Google AI Studio, from unfinished construction photo to fully rendered pergola and landscaping in under 30 seconds

- Why editing and rerunning a prompt beats retyping in chat, and how to iterate without burning context or tokens

- How one company cut their proposal turnaround from 2 to 3 weeks down to a single day using this exact workflow

Three skills are attached: the site visit to image prompt skill, the branded proposal skill, and a standalone photo to image prompt skill for quick renders without a full transcript. Drop them into your Claude project and run the workflow on your next site visit.
