RFI stands for “Request for Information” in the context of construction project management. An RFI is a formal document used to fill information gaps about certain aspects of a project. It is typically initiated by the party (contractor, subcontractor, or architect) seeking information from another party involved in the project.
RFI construction software refers to specialized tools and platforms designed to streamline and automate the process of managing RFIs in project management. RFI construction software is used to simplify the creation, submission, tracking, and answering of RFIs in a centralized and efficient manner.
RFI & Submittal Management Software is a digital solution designed to streamline the management of RFIs (Requests for Information) and submittals within the construction industry. This software facilitates efficient communication, collaboration, and document management among project stakeholders, ensuring timely and organized project completion. By centralizing the management of RFIs and submittals, it reduces errors and improves project outcomes. Essential for construction project managers, architects, engineers, contractors, and subcontractors, submittal management software helps keep projects on track and ensures that all necessary documentation is easily accessible and properly managed.
Contractors can keep track of RFIs through a variety of methods including paper filing, spreadsheet tracking, cloud-based file storage, or RFI management software like Knowify.
With Knowify, you can keep RFIs organized by project so you’re always able to find important documentation should the need arise.
A submittal in the context of construction refers to the process of submitting various documents, materials, and shop drawings to the project’s design team (including architects and engineers) for review and approval. Construction submittals are an essential part of the construction process and are typically submitted by contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, or manufacturers. The goal is to ensure that the proposed items or materials align with the project specifications and requirements.
Similar to RFIs, contractors have many options for tracking submittals and monitoring submittal status. As with RFIs, the simplest and most foolproof way to organize and track submittals is with construction project management software like Knowify. You can attach submittals to each project so you can easily find documentation and paperwork when you need it, and because it’s stored in your Knowify account, there’s no risk of losing a critical document.
The ability to manage RFIs and submittals is just one of the many features Knowify offers. Although hundreds of GCs and homebuilders use Knowify’s software to run their business every day, Knowify is a full construction management platform, built from the ground up to support trade contractors. Knowify’s workflows are designed to help specialty trade subs keep track of project data, provide transparency to relevant parties, keep project teams on track, and improve communication with everyone involved. Knowify’s document management features keep important information from every step of the project lifecycle automatically organized in one place.
Although we recommend handling your RFI management from a web browser or tablet, Knowify’s web app is full mobile responsive, meaning you can see all the same data, attach important documents, and send out RFIs or submittals in a timely manner no matter your device.
