CONSTRUCTION PROJECT COORDINATION · Workflow idea

Keep every project question moving toward a clear answer.

Give requests for information a consistent record, route them to the right project team, and make due dates and unanswered items visible. Keep cost or schedule decisions with the project manager.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

An email request, optionally with an attached document

“Review the question, identify its project and any related earlier response, and route it to the design team with a requested response date.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

7 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Organizes incoming construction questions, helps match them to open projects and prior responses, and keeps the design team and project manager informed as work progresses.

  1. Review each new question

    Read the message and any attached document, then capture the question and the details needed to understand it.

  2. Match it to the right project

    Compare the available project details with open project records. Send uncertain or incomplete matches to a person rather than assigning them by guess.

  3. Check for an earlier answer

    Compare the question with existing records. Have a reviewer confirm a likely duplicate before reusing a prior answer.

  4. Set a response date and notify the team

    Record the next RFI number and requested response date, then share a new question with the responsible design team and acknowledge receipt to the requester.

  5. Review design-team responses

    Match each response to an open question. Send unmatched or unclear answers for human review.

  6. Approve impact-related answers

    Ask the project manager to review an answer that indicates a cost or schedule impact before it is sent to the requester.

  7. Follow up on open questions

    Bring due and overdue questions to the design team’s attention and give each project manager a summary of open items.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A project-linked question record, an acknowledgment for the requester, and a clear view of answers, approvals, and overdue follow-up.

The handoff

A project-linked question record, an acknowledgment for the requester, and a clear view of answers, approvals, and overdue follow-up.

Keep in mind

Review uncertain project matches and possible duplicates before relying on an earlier answer. A response that may affect cost or schedule waits for project-manager approval; keep source messages and attachments available to authorized reviewers.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Prepare project and question records

List open projects, responsible design teams, project managers, and the information needed to track each question and answer.

Set response and escalation rules

Agree on response periods, when an item counts as overdue, and who reviews answers with possible cost or schedule effects.

Decide how uncertain matches are handled

Name the person who reviews unclear project matches, repeated questions, and answers that cannot be tied to an open item.

Check the process with sample cases

Walk through a new question, a confirmed duplicate, an unmatched answer, an impact-related answer, and an overdue item.

Put your next idea to work.

Start with your brief. Make the process your own.
