Frequently Asked Questions
An RFI (Request for Information) log tracks all formal questions and clarification requests between the contractor, design team, and owner. It records the question, who it's directed to, response deadlines, and the official answer — creating an auditable record of project decisions.
The aging tracker calculates days open for each RFI and applies color-coded bands: green (under 7 days), amber (7-14 days), and red (over 14 days). This instantly highlights overdue items that are blocking progress or creating delay exposure.
Yes. When an RFI response results in a scope change, you can link it directly to the corresponding PCO or change order. This creates traceability from the original question through the cost impact resolution.
