RFI Submission & Tracking for Roofing

The RFI Submission & Tracking workflow provides roofing contractors with a structured way to handle questions and clarifications before work starts. It includes drafting detailed RFIs, submitting them to designers or inspectors, and documenting all responses. By using this checklist, roofing companies avoid confusion, reduce errors, and improve coordination. Clients benefit from transparency and assurance that technical details are resolved. Teams gain accountability and efficiency, while contractors protect margins by preventing rework. With standardized RFI practices, roofing contractors can improve professionalism, reduce delays, and deliver projects with greater accuracy and confidence.
