RFI in Construction: A Quick Guide for Contractors
Summary
The general contractor or the subcontractor will submit an RFI in construction, which isn’t only a process for clarifying issues, but it’s also a contractual obligation. Clarifying information that wasn’t included or unclear in the scope of the construction contract is critical to delivering a project on time, within budget and meeting quality standards. The general contractor will create project plans and schedules with Gantt charts, but subcontractors need different tools to execute their work. The RFQ asks how a vendor or contractor should handle a specific aspect of a project, from cost estimation to work descriptions. For instance, if Acme Construction was working on erecting an apartment building, but the subcontractor responsible for the flooring noted that the initial drawing needed to be clarified because the specs didn’t identify the type of wood required, an RFI would be issued to the general contractor.
