AI agent for carpenters
Door and Window Rough Opening Check Agent
Every rough opening framed to fit the units actually ordered
What it does
Each door and window needs a rough opening sized to the unit actually ordered, not just the plan label, and a wrong opening means reframing on delivery day. This agent reads the door and window schedule and the order confirmation, looks up the manufacturer's rough opening sizes, and builds a list by location. If the ordered unit differs from the schedule, it flags it to confirm with the builder. After framing, the carpenter enters measured openings, and the agent compares them with the required sizes and a default 1/4 inch tolerance. Openings outside tolerance are flagged to reframe and re-measure before units arrive. Manufacturer sizes always rule. The carpenter approves the list and the fixes. Edge case: an order mismatch is never quietly corrected in the list.
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.
