RFIs

An RFI (Request for Information) is a question for the architect or owner — a missing item, a conflict between documents, or a clarification you need (including non-technical ones).

  • Generation. Struction generates RFIs automatically when you upload a project. You can also add one by hand, or ask chat to create one or find more.
  • Editing. Each RFI carries a number, name, type, scope, rank (Critical / Med / Low), status (Open, Risk Accepted, Resolved, Archived, Deferred), source page, description, and a recommended resolution. Edit any of these inline.
  • Verifying. Review the generated RFIs, sharpen the wording, and confirm the ones worth sending.
  • Exporting. Export the RFI ledger to Excel to send to the owner or architect for resolution.

Workflow example — Struction flags that the fire-sprinkler heads aren't specified for the second-floor mezzanine. You open the RFI, confirm it's real by checking the source sheet, adjust the wording, and export it with the rest of your open RFIs to send to the architect — instead of discovering the gap after you've already bid.
