How to complete rfi creation
- 01
Understand the objective
An RFI (Request for Information) formalizes a technical question that needs an answer before work can proceed correctly. It records the question, context, owner, due date and official response. This guide focuses on ask every question with complete context.
- 02
Prepare rfi creation
Enter the title and question; add a proposed solution, drawing, specification section, location, priority, due date and ball-in-court. Record potential cost or schedule impact, distribute to reviewers/watchers and attach evidence.
- 03
Complete the workflow in Perfour
Save as draft or open the numbered request, assign the ball, receive comments, record the official response, and then close, reopen or void it with a reason. Responsibility can pass between participants. Title, question, location and references provide enough context to answer.
- 04
Review relationships and traceability
An RFI can connect with drawings, files, tasks, schedule and conversations. Declared impact helps prioritize questions that block work or change cost. A good RFI asks for one decision, cites the correct document and avoids ambiguity. Do not close it until the official response is actionable and the required participants have been informed.
