As a Construction Administrator working with architects in US, nothing slows a project down faster than a flood of Requests for Information (RFIs) that were already answered in the drawings. RFIs are supposed to clarify real ambiguities
One of the most common communication tools used on construction projects is the Request for Information (RFI). But one question comes up repeatedly: Who is responsible for answering an RFI?
Many architecture firms approach Construction Administration as a series of individual tasks. RFIs arrive. Submittals are reviewed. Site visits occur. Change orders are processed. Each task is handled separately.
Site visits are one of the most important responsibilities architects perform during the construction phase. These visits allow the architect to observe progress, identify potential issues, and verify that construction aligns with the design intent.
