Construction Request for Information Best Practices

 

Make sure you provide sufficient resources to answer all RFIs.

If an issue requires longer to answer inform the contractor prior to response due date and outline timeline for response. Contractors should have their own engineers/professionals capable of reading the contract documents. Ensure responses are distributed to all affected parties. Don’t wait to issue an RFI until it’s on the critical path or the activity is critical. This video reviews best practices to ensure you are handling RFIs appropriately while keeping in mind that RFI’s are intended to provide interpretations or clarifications.
