No More RFI Nightmares

Jet.Build’s Refreshing Approach to RFIs 

If you ask any project manager about their least favorite acronym, “RFI” might top the list. The Request For Information process is supposed to bring clarity, but too often it becomes a source of frustration. Lost emails, delayed responses, version confusion – a poorly managed RFI can hold up an entire job. The good news? It doesn’t have to be this way. Today, let’s explore how Jet.Build is taking a fresh, efficient approach to RFIs – turning a notorious pain point into a smooth conversation.

The RFI Headache, Diagnosed 📋🤕 

Managing RFIs is like chasing the wind. A superintendent finds a conflict and fires off an email… which someone in the office logs in a spreadsheet… then tracked manually. These outdated methods cause RFIs to get misplaced, delayed, or mismanaged – with serious impacts to schedule and cost. 


How Jet.Build Does RFIs Differently 🚀🗂️ 

Jet.Build addresses the chaos with structure, accountability, and speed: 
- Structured Templates: Standard fields ensure no detail is missed. 
- Ball-in-Court Accountability: Always know who’s responsible. 
- Real-Time Collaboration: Everyone sees the same info, instantly. 
- Integration: RFIs tie into drawings, specs, and other modules. 
- Speed & Accessibility: Submit or answer RFIs from anywhere – mobile or desktop. 

Why It Matters: Keeping Projects on Track 🏆 

Efficient RFI management reduces rework, schedule delays, and finger-pointing. With Jet.Build, RFI turnaround improves drastically, and documentation is always accessible. 

A Quick Success Story

Redstone Developers used Jet.Build on a 100-unit project. Their average RFI response time dropped from 6 days to just 2. One RFI was answered same-day thanks to a photo submitted from the field and a marked-up drawing uploaded by the architect within hours.
