SpreadsheetWeb for construction
Build web workflows around construction spreadsheet expertise.
Estimators, engineers, contractors, and operations teams build valuable project logic in spreadsheets. SpreadsheetWeb helps deliver those models through guided applications that clients and colleagues can use without handling the source workbook.
The operating challenge
Project-critical logic is difficult to scale as a workbook.
Construction spreadsheets often combine estimating assumptions, engineering calculations, product rules, and document templates. They are flexible for the experts who built them, but sharing the files with customers or project teams can expose formulas, invite accidental changes, and create repeated back-and-forth whenever inputs or outputs need clarification.
Common construction workflows
Turn field and office calculations into guided applications.
Give each participant the inputs and results they need while keeping the spreadsheet model controlled on the server.
Project estimates
Collect project quantities and assumptions through a clear form, then calculate consistent estimates from the approved workbook model.
Engineering calculators
Let customers or staff enter design conditions and receive model-driven selections or calculations without opening the source workbook.
Proposals and work orders
Use calculated results and entered data to support consistent documents for review, handoff, or signature workflows.
Reviews and approvals
Route spreadsheet-based submissions through a defined process instead of coordinating separate files and email threads.
SpreadsheetWeb capabilities
Keep the model familiar and make the experience usable.
SpreadsheetWeb separates the protected workbook calculation layer from the browser interface, allowing teams to improve delivery without recoding every formula.
Guided project inputs
Present only the required fields, units, choices, and validation for each construction workflow.
Protected calculation logic
Run engineering and estimating formulas server-side rather than distributing proprietary workbooks.
Calculated documents
Use model outputs to support proposals, reports, or work-order documents in a consistent process.
Workflow and data capture
Move submissions, reviews, and results into an application flow that can be shared across project participants.
Construction customer proof
Axiom Structures brought an engineering selection model to its clients.
Axiom Structures used SpreadsheetWeb to turn structural-analysis spreadsheet logic into an application where clients enter window and door information, cross-check products, and continue the purchasing process.
“We used to use Microsoft Excel since it was the easiest way. At some point, we needed a way to have our clients enter the information about their windows and doors themselves, so they can cross-check the appropriate product and then use the application to purchase sealed Engineering from us.”
