This RFI log template is a simple tracker for every request for information on your construction project. List each RFI, see what is due and what is overdue, and make sure responses come back on time so questions do not turn into delays.<\/p>\n
An RFI log, or RFI tracker, is a list of every request for information issued on a project, with its number, title, dates, who it is assigned to and its current status. While each RFI form records a single question and answer, the log gives the project team one place to see all open and closed RFIs. It is used in project meetings to chase overdue responses and to show how RFIs affected the schedule or cost.<\/p>\n
An RFI gets a written answer from the design team when the drawings or specifications are unclear, conflict or are missing information. It keeps work moving with the right information and creates a record of the question and answer if cost or schedule is affected.<\/p>\n
At minimum: RFI number, title, date issued, date due, date returned, who it is assigned to, status and comments. Many teams also note the drawing or specification reference and whether the response may affect cost or schedule.<\/p>\n
Usually the general contractor’s project engineer, project coordinator or project manager. The design team or construction manager may keep their own log too. Whoever owns it should update it as soon as an RFI is issued or answered.<\/p>\n
The reviewer, usually the architect or engineer, answers the question in writing, references any revised drawings or sketches, and notes if the answer changes scope. The contractor records the response in the RFI log and shares it with the affected trades.<\/p>\n
An RFI is a request for information, usually a question about the design during construction. An RFP is a request for proposal or pricing, asking firms to submit a price for a scope of work before it is awarded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
