Construction RFI process template

A request for information is how the site asks the design team a question that the drawings do not answer. This board follows one RFI through six stages, showing who holds it and how many days it sits with them, with a filled-in example RFI, an open RFI log with days open and a reminder to raise a change order when the answer changes cost or time.

How to use this template

  1. Write a good question

    Ask one question per RFI, reference the drawing and grid, and suggest an answer. A proposed answer gets a faster reply.

  2. Say what it blocks

    Give a required-by date tied to the work it holds up, so the design team can prioritise.

  3. Chase by days open

    Review the log every week and chase anything overdue. When an answer changes cost or programme, raise a change order.
