RFI Submission & Tracking for Drywall

The RFI Submission & Tracking workflow supports drywall contractors by organizing how requests for information are submitted and logged. It includes drafting clear questions, sending them to designers or builders, and documenting responses in a central system. By following this process, drywall companies reduce miscommunication, improve coordination, and prevent costly rework. Clients benefit from smoother schedules and confidence in the contractor’s professionalism. Teams gain accountability and efficiency by tracking every RFI. With this workflow in place, drywall contractors can protect profitability, strengthen relationships, and deliver projects with fewer delays and higher quality.
