About MaterialPilot

MaterialPilot is the most transparent and independent knowledge base and calculator tool for DIYers, carpenters, and homeowners.

Our Mission

We started MaterialPilot because we were tired of complicated building instructions, hidden fees, and apps that required you to create an account just to calculate how much decking was needed for a patio. Our mission is to provide the most accurate, easy-to-use, and fastest tools for calculating material consumption - completely free, without login, and with 100% transparency.

Who Are We?

Behind MaterialPilot is a dedicated team of developers and industry experts with long experience in both software development and practical building. We understand the frustration of standing at the lumberyard and realizing that you have miscalculated the waste. By combining industry-standard formulas with modern web technology, we have created tools that you can trust.

Independence and Transparency

MaterialPilot is an independent initiative. We are not owned by any hardware store or manufacturer. The recommendations and guides we publish in our Knowledge Base are written from an objective perspective to help you as a consumer make the best decisions. Our revenue model is based on display advertising and affiliate links, but this never affects our mathematical formulas or independent assessments.

The Technology Behind It

We believe in a fast, accessible, and privacy-friendly web. Therefore, all our calculators run directly in your browser using modern JavaScript technology. Your data (your measurements and inputs) is never sent to our servers - everything is calculated locally on your own device.
