Why should I use RFIs?

• Improved Clarity and Avoidance of Errors: The purpose of RFI documentation is to seek clarification or additional information about project details that might be ambiguous or unclear. By obtaining clear and concise information early in the process, you reduce the chances of misunderstandings or errors that cost your projects time and money. 
• Compliance and Quality Assurance: RFIs ensure that the work being performed aligns with the intended design, specs, and requirements of the final product.
• Documentation and Record-Keeping: RFIs create a documented trail of communication that is useful and valuable for future reference, especially in cases of legal disputes or claims.
