Requests for information (RFIs) are a common task on a construction project that are often related to something specific shown on the construction drawings. In this video, Jim shows you how to use the tasks feature to attach RFIs directly to the plan sheet so that the entire project team can see the question and answer.
- [Instructor] When all the different trades…get their contracts and they start working…on a construction project,…they ultimately end up with questions.…Some of these questions are handled in a formal process…called a request for information, or RFI.…There's a couple of different ways that you can handle…requests for information from within Fieldwire…to make the process a little more organized…and a little easier, and I'm gonna show you…one of those ways here in this video.…So one way that we can handle RFIs is to go to our Files tab…on the left side of the screen, and if you recall…earlier in the course we created a folder…to house our RFIs, our requests for information.…
