Cutout for window seems to be in the wrong place by about 1-2"
I'm going through a full kitchen remodel. This is not DIY. I have a GC who has subs doing everything. I'm in the final stages with countertops about to be installed. This remodel involved turning a door into a window (the new window is the window on the right of the range in https://imgur.com/LHJVWEK ). The window hasn't arrived yet, but it doesn't affect countertops and cabinets so we've been proceeding with the interior work.
Today, I just noticed that the cutout for the 36x38" window seems to be too far to the left, by about 1.5", which ruins the symmetry (you can see in the above pic that the design is based on symmetry around the hood and range), and it's very noticeable to me in person (see the actual pic in https://imgur.com/mitRxne ) it's a bit harder to see in the pic but you can still see it). The right edge of the window should be 32" from the right wall, but it's currently 33.5" ish from the right wall.
For this window cutout, I was told they had to add some kind of header and also had to expand the opening; iirc the door opening was only like 33-34" or something.
I brought this up with my contractor earlier today but haven't heard back yet...
But this seems like a pretty difficult fix? it seems they'll need to expand the opening to the right by about 1.5" and close the left side by the same amount.....
also note that the exterior is brick but the masonry work hasn't been done yet so there shouldn't be any redos there.
