RFI Submission & Tracking for Masonry

The RFI Submission & Tracking workflow supports masonry contractors by standardizing how requests for information are handled. It includes preparing clear RFIs, sending them to designers or inspectors, and tracking responses. By using this system, masonry companies reduce miscommunication, improve coordination, and prevent errors. Clients benefit from smoother timelines and reliable communication. Teams gain accountability by documenting every clarification. With this workflow in place, masonry contractors can protect profitability, strengthen credibility, and deliver projects with greater efficiency and professionalism.
