RFI text sits in one system. Contract drawings and specifications live in others. Field teams submit questions, but scope review often happens after the RFI reaches the design team's queue.
That delay carries real cost. Each RFI can consume significant administrative and technical effort, and response cycles can stretch across more than a week. Some RFIs are unnecessary because the answer already exists in the contract documents. Out-of-scope RFIs that slip through can surface in claims proceedings and blur design liability lines.
