How It Works
From setup to rollout
A team member creates a construction RFI log record with required details and supporting files.
The responsible owner reviews the record, assigns next actions, and updates status.
Queues show overdue, blocked, high-priority, or awaiting-response items.
Dashboards summarize volume, status mix, categories, owner workload, and closure progress.
Completed records remain searchable for reporting, audit review, and future planning.
FAQs
Common questions about this template
How is an RFI log different from an RFI form?
An RFI form captures a new question. An RFI log tracks the full status history, reviewer ownership, due dates, responses, impacts, and closeout after submission.
What should a construction RFI log include?
Include project, trade, question, drawing or spec reference, reviewer, due date, response, impact, attachments, status, and field implementation notes.
Can RFIs link to change orders or submittals?
Yes. RFIs often clarify work that affects submittal packages, change requests, delay notes, or project status reports.
