RFI stands for “Request for Information” in the context of construction project management. An RFI is a formal document used to get clarification or additional details about certain aspects of a construction 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 construction 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.
