Reduce RFIs with AI
Using AI to identify and resolve issues that would otherwise become RFIs during construction.
Definition
Reducing RFIs with AI involves using artificial intelligence to identify potential questions, ambiguities, and coordination issues in construction documents before they become Requests for Information during construction. AI can analyze drawings and specifications to flag incomplete information, conflicts, and unclear details that contractors would need clarification on. By addressing these issues during design, teams can significantly reduce costly RFIs during construction.
In Depth
RFI volume correlates directly with construction document quality — better documents generate fewer questions. AI reduces RFI volume by improving document quality through pre-issuance checking: verifying cross-references, checking consistency between drawings and specifications, and identifying ambiguities that would otherwise generate field questions.
Examples
Identifying ambiguous specifications before they generate RFIs
Flagging coordination conflicts that would require clarification
Detecting missing information that contractors will need answered
