The brief

The same shoring load calculation came up again and again, done by hand each time. That's slow, and it's exactly the kind of repeated manual work where small mistakes creep in.

What I did

• Turned the repeatable calculation into a single tool with consistent inputs and outputs.
• Built it to support planning and internal decisions, not just to spit out a number.
• Designed in checks so the result is something people can actually rely on.

The interesting part

The interesting bit of any tool like this is the guardrails — making it hard to get a wrong answer, not just easy to get an answer.
