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.

RForm’s Request For Information (RFI) feature is purpose-built to simplify and elevate your construction contract administration. It’s designed to empower you with a streamlined and enhanced experience, ensuring that RFIs no longer hinder your construction projects.
