By choosing RForm, companies are not simply adopting new software; they’re embracing a philosophy of innovation that prioritizes time, accuracy, and the integrity of their work.

RForm is not a replacement for your core project management, accounting, or design tools. Instead, it acts as a powerful complement, specifically designed to manage the complexities that arise from project changes. Construction projects are rarely straightforward. Unexpected issues, design modifications, and site conditions often necessitate changes to the original plan. These changes can lead to confusion, disputes, and cost overruns if not managed effectively. This is where RForm shines.
While many software solutions focus on the “ideal” project – where everything proceeds smoothly according to plan – RForm acknowledges the reality of construction: change is inevitable. RForm simplifies the complex and often fragmented contract administration process by offering a centralized platform for managing essential project documents.
These foundational blocks are:
- Submittals and Transmittals: Essential for tracking and confirming the exchange of information and materials.
- Request for Information (RFI): A critical process for clarifying and resolving uncertainties that arise during construction.
- Changes and Cash Allowances: Manage financial aspects and modify the original contract terms.
- Project Files and Document Management: A robust system for organizing and retrieving project-related documentation.
- Schedule of Values and Certificates for Payment: Ensuring that payment processes are transparent and aligned with project progress.
- Supplemental Instructions: Provide additional guidance and directives as the project evolves.
- Site Reports: Real-time data and collaboration capabilities, improving efficiency, compliance, and overall project outcomes. It is also available as a stand-alone project when you only need a site report.
Demos are available two times a month or create an account, and your team can access our streamlined Site Reports Project or our comprehensive Core CA Project.

Requests for Information - RFI
Managing RFIs traditionally can consume precious time, introduce errors, and even lead to costly project delays. In an industry where efficiency, precision, and resource management are paramount, such challenges can prove detrimental.
In construction contracts, the Request for Information (RFI) process serves as a formal avenue for seeking project-related clarifications or reiterating critical details. RForm software offers a powerful solution by centralizing and optimizing the entire RFI process. It provides a unified platform for creating, submitting, and tracking RFI requests and responses.
Efficient workflow processes are fundamental to achieving successful project outcomes. The responsibility for this efficiency rests on the shoulders of architects, construction professionals, project managers, and contract administrators.
