The Ins and Outs of Construction RFIs

With an average of 9.9 RFIs for every $1 million worth of construction on the global level, and nearly 800 RFIs per individual project, it’s clear RFIs aren’t going anywhere. While it’s impossible to eliminate all chances of having to file or answer an RFI, contractors and architects alike can still work together to reduce the total number per project and keep each request as streamlined as possible. Unlike change requests and routine communications and questions, RFIs need to be tightly focused to avoid problems and excessive levels of requests.
