Issue a construction RFI before work proceeds
Practice the CSI / contract-admin RFI order from project-controls training. The questioned work is not installed before the written answer is distributed.
- Identify the drawing or spec conflict and the location.
- Stop or hold only the work that depends on the answer.
- Draft the RFI with the proposed interpretation.
- Attach the marked drawings or photos.
- Submit through the official project system, not a side channel.
- Receive the written response and any sketch.
- Distribute the answer to the affected trades.
- Update the field set.
- Resume the held work only after the response is posted.
