DIYers waste time and money planning projects because they have to manually juggle multiple websites for instructions, materials, and cost comparison, often giving up and overpaying for professionals.
Existing solutions treat research, sourcing, and cost comparison as separate steps, forcing users to manually switch between YouTube, supplier sites, and mental math to estimate total project cost and savings.
