In this lesson, we're solving one of the most expensive problems in construction: missed change orders leaving project revenue on the table every year — not because the work didn't happen, but because it never got written up at the end of a long day. I break down how to build an automation that turns a 60-second voice note into a professionally formatted change order request — complete with justifications that reference your actual contract. What you'll learn: - The Revenue Leak Problem: Why friction (not laziness) is costing you on every project - Voice-to-Document Automation: How to capture change order details from site using JotForm with voice dictation, then automatically generate professional documentation - AI-Powered Contract Referencing: See how we use Gemini (or ChatGPT/Claude) to read your project contract and write justifications that cite specific articles and sections - The Make Workflow: A complete walkthrough of connecting JotForm → Google Drive → AI → Google Docs → Email notification - Customization Principles: How to adapt this starting point to fit your exact workflow — whether you use Procore, WhatsApp, or something else entirely Resources can be found in the classroom section of the community.

The construction game is changing. In 2026, the most professional outfits aren't the ones with the biggest crews; they're the ones with the smartest systems. Most companies lose profit through "leaky processes", missed change orders, forgotten material deliveries, and undocumented site issues. My latest video reveals the exact tech stack you can use to automate site admin: - Retell: Voice AI that sounds and acts like a human PM. - Make: The "digital duct tape" connecting your field data to your office docs. - Google Docs/Airtable: Creating a searchable, professional paper trail without lifting a finger. Next Step: If you want me to look at your current site workflow and help you implement this automation, DM me "WORKFLOW" and let's chat. 🚀

First post for the new year 👋 2026 is shaping up to be a big year for AI, and an even bigger year for construction companies that decide to lean in early and adopt it practically. The reality is: construction is getting harder, even when you’re doing everything right. Labour is tight, prices move constantly, and timelines keep slipping. It’s not just bad luck on one job, it’s bigger industry forces stacking up. I just dropped a new YouTube video breaking down what’s actually driving it, and why the “wait and see” approach is quietly turning into a competitive disadvantage. As always, let me know what resonated (or what you disagree with). And if you want help applying this to your business, DM me “AI” and I’ll point you to the best next step inside the Academy. We have a ton of content lined up for this year and I am super excited to share it!

I’m adding a new Tools section to the community. The goal is simple: I’ll share practical tools I’m using (or testing) that make life easier for small contractors and home service businesses — less admin, smoother comms, better systems. No fluff. First tool up: Trakst (Demo + Free Trial) Trakst is a voice-powered site reporting app I’ve been building with a small team. How it works: talk your updates on site → Trakst turns them into a structured site report. Why I’m sharing it here: it’s a great example of using AI to remove the boring stuff (typing notes at night) and make reporting more consistent and actually useful. 📲 Download + free trial: https://apps.apple.com/app/trakst-tradie/id6754073908 We're actively looking for feedback, so please let me know what you like and what you don't like about the app!
