Excel Tool Building Workshop

Join this practical, hands-on 1-day workshop designed for engineers, designers, and technical professionals who want to dramatically speed up their workflows by building powerful, reusable Excel tools.

By the end of the day, you won’t just "learn formulas" — you’ll build two fully-functional engineering calculators from scratch, using the exact workflow used by top-tier engineering teams.

This workshop is designed to help you:

• Stop doing repetitive manual calculations
• Automate your day-to-day engineering tasks
• Build tools that your team can use again and again
• Stand out as the “Excel expert” in your organisation

You will follow a structured, step-by-step process to learn the fundamentals of tool design, including:

• Input structure
• Error-proof layouts
• Logical formula flow
• User-friendly tool design
• Testing and accuracy checks

This first calculator teaches you the system for building tools — not just formulas.

In the afternoon session, you will apply what you learned by building a second engineering tool yourself.

You will:

• Design the layout
• Build the logic
• Implement formulas
• Test your outputs
• Present your tool (optional)

This is where the skill “locks in.”
By the end, you will genuinely understand how to build tools — independently.

Most Excel courses teach functions.
This workshop teaches tool-building thinking — the ability to take a calculation you normally do manually and turn it into a professional tool.

Participants leave with:

• Two completed engineering calculators
• A repeatable method you can use for any future tool
• A massive boost in speed and productivity at work

Designed for:

• Civil, mechanical, structural, electrical engineers
• Designers, drafters, estimators, project professionals
• Anyone who uses Excel for technical work
• Anyone who wants to get faster and more accurate

You don’t need to be an Excel wizard.
If you can use formulas, you can do this workshop.

• A Windows laptop with Excel installed
• A mouse (highly recommended)
• Basic Excel knowledge (SUM, IF, simple formulas)

Everything else is provided on the day.
