Are You a Valuer, or an Excel Mechanic?

Are You a Valuer, or an Excel Mechanic?

Rashdan·24 Sep 2026·2 min readPersona

Most valuers and consultants are secretly overworked Excel mechanics.

You charge for your expertise, your judgment, and your market knowledge. But what do you actually spend 80% of your time doing?

  • Fixing broken circular references
  • Formatting PDF charts to look "professional"
  • Manually updating generic templates for new jurisdictions
  • Starting the model over when the client changes their mind on the unit mix

The 80/20 Problem

The dirty secret of the industry: Clients pay for the final 20% (the analysis). But you are burning your weekends doing the first 80% (the formatting).

The Workhorse's New Workflow

I built FeasiBuild specifically for the Workhorse.

You input the raw assumptions and the capital stack. The platform handles the jurisdiction logic (HDA, 10/90, Escrow), builds the dynamic financial waterfall, and auto-generates the bankable PDF report.

You get your weekends back. Your clients get faster turnaround. Your margins explode.
