A shared project platform for commercial door, frame, and hardware work — Division 8 and Division 10 — connecting every party around one persistent record, from the first opening on the schedule through installation.
Every party in Division 8 and 10 rebuilds the same information from static PDFs. An opening gets renumbered, a hardware set doesn't match the code condition, a conflict slips through the cracks. By the time anyone catches it, it's a change order — and it crosses the architect's desk on its way to the owner.
Instead of flattening every opening into a PDF that each downstream party has to reverse-engineer, Rainforest gives each opening a persistent identity that carries its full context from design to install.
Number the opening and answer a few guided questions about occupancy and code factors. Rainforest assembles the hardware set and drafts the specification.
Architects, contractors, distributors, and installers all work from the same living record — not four disconnected copies drifting out of sync.
Numbering and hardware conflicts get flagged while they're still an RFI — not after they've become a change order in the field.
Originate openings and generate specifications with the code context built in.
See the real, current state of every opening — no reverse-engineering PDFs.
Estimate against clean, structured data instead of re-keying schedules.
Know exactly what each opening needs, with its full history intact.
Every rule in Rainforest is drawn from real Division 8 and 10 project work — not assumptions about how the process should go.
Every avoidable error in a door package becomes rework — a remade door, a reordered frame, hardware that ends up in a dumpster. Getting the opening right the first time is faster and cheaper, and it's less material wasted: fewer trees cut to hang the same set of doors. That's the name, and the point — build more with less.
KONGRA Rainforest is in active development. Early partners help shape what gets built first — and get a first look before anyone else.
