Follow every door and frame from the builder’s door schedule to the fixed opening.

Door orders rarely arrive as a single size. A builder sends a schedule of openings by floor and flat, each with its own swing, frame section, veneer and lock position. The factory seasons timber, makes frames, presses shutters and mortises hardware. A shutter that fits tower A will not always fit tower B.

The software ties every opening on the schedule to its timber moisture reading, its press load and its polish coat, so a fault on site has a traceable cause. It follows each opening from timber receipt to the fitted door and the signed handover. Start by sharing one floor’s schedule.

Timber arrives by the cubic metre as sawn logs or planks, and the yard records species, size and moisture reading. Boards are stacked for air drying or sent to a kiln, then ripped and planed into frame sections and shutter stiles. Flush doors take a core of block board or finger-jointed strips, with face veneer or laminate pressed on in a hot press.

The schedule decides what is made and in which order. Frames go to routing and rebating, while shutters go to sizing, edge lipping and the lock and hinge mortise, in an order set by door type. Finished doors take sanding and a polish or paint coat, then move to the dispatch bay by floor. Fixers hang them on site. Any gap or rubbing goes onto a snag list.
