At Canibuild, we’re all about making your digital build experience smoother, smarter, and more visual.

We’ve rolled out three exciting updates focused on helping you, the builder, sell faster, quote smarter, and bring your clients’ vision to life effortlessly.

1. A Clearer, Smoother 3D Sundial & Shadow Time Selector

We have improved the 3D Sundial and Shadow Time Selector to make it easier to use, anywhere, anytime. These updates deliver a smoother experience when demonstrating sunlight and shadow movement on-site or during client presentations.

What’s New

• Snappier Time Dial: The selector now snaps in neat 1-hour increments. You can quickly set times without endless fine-tuning.

• Compact Popup: A modern, space-saving view that shows the current date, season, and time — with an option to expand if you want full control.

• Better Map Visibility: The new design keeps the map front and center, so you never lose sight of the block layout.

• Smarter Defaults: It now automatically starts from today’s full date, giving you realistic lighting and shadow simulations instantly.

Why it matters: When you’re walking clients through their site or presenting on a tablet, every second counts. These refinements make your demonstration smoother, faster, and more professional — letting you keep the focus on the design from the get-go. 

2. AI Pool Visualiser in Lead Converter

Your clients often ask, “What will it actually look like when it’s done?” Now, you don’t have to just tell them — you can show them in seconds.

What’s New

• Pick Your Pool: Choose the design that suits your project.

• Customise It: Tweak the edge, test different decking textures, and even add a spa with ease.

• Get a Preview: Clients enter their email and instantly receive an AI-generated image of their chosen pool setup — complete with water, tiles, and decking beautifully rendered in a realistic setting on their unique property lot.

Why it matters: This feature helps your clients see before they sign. It turns curiosity into confidence and helps you move from inquiry to commitment faster.

3. Plan Options for Pools in Lead Converter

Your clients love flexibility, and now, they’ll have more of it right inside LeadConverter.

We’ve added a new Plan Options tab on the Design Detail Page (starting with Pools). Builders can now offer configurable design options to end-users — directly within the quoting and inquiry flow.

What’s New

• Plan Options Tab: Easily configure options per widget — starting with Pools.

• Customisable Options: Clients can select from Spa, Tiles, Coping, Deck, and Plaster categories.

• Seamless Integration: Every choice syncs across inquiry, payment, and reporting workflows — no double-handling needed.

• Visual Previews: Real-time map updates, thumbnails, and image carousels bring every selection to life on-screen.

Why it matters: This release gives your clients a more engaging, transparent way to personalise their build — while you keep every detail tracked, visualised, and reportable. It’s a powerful tool to make your quoting experience stand out and empower potential clients to execute contracts quickly, thanks to more confidence in their high-dollar value purchase.
