AI agent for architects
Door and Finish Schedule Coordination Agent
Issue a door, hardware and finish set where every reference agrees.
What it does
Door, hardware and finish schedules, plan tags and specification sections all have to agree, and small mismatches cause expensive change orders. This agent compares every schedule entry with the tag on the plan and the product named in the spec. It flags doors on plans with no schedule entry, schedule entries with no door, hardware sets that do not exist, and finishes missing from the spec. It drafts fixes for each. After edits, it compares again and repeats until no cross-reference fails. You approve the issued set. Edge case: door 214 appears on the plan as 214A, and the agent catches the mismatch before issue.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
Read the steps as a list
- Drawing issue date is set
- Read plan tags, schedules and spec sections
- Match each plan tag to a schedule entry
- Match each schedule entry to a spec section
- Does every reference agree across all three?If not: List missing, extra or conflicting items with their locations. Back to step 4.
- Draft a fix for each item
- Architect approves the changesThe agent waits here for your OK.
- Apply the fixes in the draft schedules
- Rerun the cross-reference check
- Are all references clean?If not: Return the remaining items and repeat the fixes. Back to step 3.
- Coordinated schedule set with issue log
How it decides
It matches by tag and room number. A reference is valid only when plan, schedule and spec all name it.
- A tag on the plan with no schedule entry is a high priority
- Hardware sets must exist in the specification
- Finishes must match the room finish schedule
- Never edit a tag without checking its room number
