RFI management software
RFI management software for construction teams
An RFI is only useful if it reaches the right people, has a deadline and ends in a recorded answer. BuildRevu routes each request through the receiving organization's responsible team and keeps the whole exchange on one record.
Where RFI tracking breaks down
- RFIs are raised by email, so nobody has a single list of what is open.
- The request sits with the wrong person for a week before it is redirected.
- Response deadlines are agreed verbally and never tracked.
- The answer arrives in a thread and is never attached to the drawing it affects.
What you get for RFI tracking
Standard reference numbering
Every RFI carries a project, organization, type, discipline and serial reference, so it can be cited in correspondence.
Routing to the receiving team
Project settings define which team in the receiving organization is responsible, so requests land with the right people immediately.
Deadlines and reminders
Review days are set per project and per record type, with reminders before the response is due.
One open list per project
See every open, answered and closed RFI in a single feed, filtered by organization, discipline and status.
Answers that stay attached
The response, attachments and closing decision remain on the RFI record and in the project activity trail.
Reporting
Export RFI status for progress reports, with QR-verified PDFs for anything issued outside the system.

Start with the whole project position, then open the exact workspace behind each figure. Documents retain their revision, redline and approval history; progress, quality, safety and handover use the same controlled-record principle.
Common questions
- What is the best software for RFI tracking on a construction project?
- The right tool is the one that keeps RFIs in the same place as the drawings and submittals they affect. BuildRevu tracks RFIs alongside the controlled document register, so an answer can be tied to the revision it changes.
- Can sub-contractors raise RFIs?
- Yes, if their profile carries the right to submit that record type on that project. Access is scoped by organisation, project and permission.
- How is an RFI closed?
- The responsible team answers it, the decision is recorded against the RFI, and the closed record stays available with its full history.
