A clearer way to plan
About AdditionPilot
Free tools for informed homeowners—not a contractor directory pretending to know your exact project price.
AdditionPilot is a new independent project built to help homeowners understand budgets before discussing a construction project with local professionals.
Why we built it
Typical renovation articles give a single national average and a long list of variables. We wanted a simpler way for homeowners to change project assumptions, see each budget line and understand why different quotes could vary.
What we do—and what we do not do
We publish interactive early-stage calculators and educational content. We do not currently refer visitors to paid contractors or sell contact lists. We do not issue construction bids, provide regulated financial advice or employ fictional “review panels” sometimes found on template websites.
We are not a licensed design or engineering firm. Our methodology documents the public sources and editorial assumptions behind calculations. For feedback, correction requests or inquiries, see our contact page.
Editorial principles
- Show assumptions and display broad ranges instead of false precision.
- Separate U.S. average scenarios from property-specific contractor pricing.
- Explain paid relationships if they are added in the future.
- Do not claim reviews, certifications or independent testing without proof.
- Correct material errors and date significant content revisions.
