To ensure that your construction project stays on track and on schedule, use software that will automatically schedule service and maintenance work and will send out work orders to the most qualified engineer that is currently available.
Scheduling: Produce Accurate Work Plans
Convey the scale of your construction project by displaying all of the project data as well as the timetable in an one perspective. This will allow everyone to quickly get an idea of where things stand with your project. By the use of our construction project scheduling software’s time-distance location diagram viewing, you will be able to coordinate fleet, equipment, and people in a single comprehensive perspective. With construction scheduling software, you will be able to easily identify the location of the construction work that is being conducted as well as the timing of when it is executed.
Intuitively Create Civil Engineering Marvels
Create a detailed plan of action that prioritises the free flow of people and materials across the building site. Make use of time location diagrams and other capabilities of linear scheduling software to organise your linear building projects. In order to keep projects on schedule, it is important to keep track of specific data on those activities as they occur in different locations.
Facilitated Coordination & Project Scheduling
Krion6D’s construction scheduling software includes a time chainage diagram that may be used to help team members work together and see potential conflicts before they escalate. In today’s construction climate, it is crucial for all parties involved to work together across teams and organisations to ensure that project timelines are met.

RFIs
Quality in Construction, request for information (RFI) forms in the construction industry are utilised by a variety of parties and for a variety of goals. It could be “a question from the Contractor to the Designer asking for information and clarifications on some drawing,” or it could be “a question from the Contractor to the Client or other stakeholders of the project,” or it could be “in some other cases, it’s the Subcontractor who is asking information from the Main Contractor regarding the subcontracted works.” What kind of question is it?
Rethink RFIs
Rethink construction RFIs. Instead of perceiving RFIs as a nuisance, use them to streamline and improve design, engineering, and construction. When you require technical solutions to a tricky query, you need mobile technology that can handle speedy, accurate, and user-friendly RFIs to avoid drama. 10 construction RFI process improvements.
Timing is crucial
Be careful while submitting if you want a quick response. Though evident, RFIs are typically hurried and low-quality. Know the RFI deadline and submit it immediately. The average initial reaction time is 6.4 days, according to Navigant Construction Forum. The industry average is ‘a median reaction time of 9.7 days’ for follow-up.
Obviously, submitting early improves the project’s overall timetable.
Identify the issue precisely
RFIs are often misinterpreted due to unclear problem definition or too many concerns. RFIs should address one issue for a thorough and fast response. That also implies you must write clearly – a poorly phrased RFI will usually result in a poorly worded answer. Reducing technical jargon improves RFIs.
Provide answers
After identifying the issue, you may have some solutions. Provide some solutions instead of waiting for others. Options speed things up. Instead of creating a solution, the engineer, owner, or architect merely needs to validate it.
Request the response you desire
To enhance RFIs and prevent receiving poor or partial responses, be explicit in your RFI about what constitutes a comprehensive answer. Give a list of the information required to satisfactorily respond to the questions posed in your first request.
Streamline the process of obtaining and organising information
A common source of project and contract data and correct documentation standards enable team members to quickly respond to RFIs, whether sending or receiving. This database must record the request’s send date, sender, and receiver information. Weekly modification requests, RFIs, and other interactions require a single contract information source to update the plan’s schedule and budget.
Don’t Hesitate
An engineer, architect, or owner’s reluctance to act on an RFI is a common source of delay. You should decline rather than stall the process. Remember to maintain a businesslike tone, speak nicely, and offer sound justification for your position. Being unresponsive is the worst possible response, so act responsibly and take care of business without delay.
Give further clarification
Context can be all-important. If you wish to enhance RFIs at your organisation, be sure to include even the smallest amount of additional information to explain the query. Using software tools will allow you to hyperlink pertinent documents and images within the RFI so that it may be readily viewed and reviewed by the recipient.
Ways to Accelerate Responses to RFIs
Waiting on RFIs is not the only circumstance that might result in delays and costs. Regardless of your motives, holding them up on your end is unacceptable. If you want to prevent RFI expenditures from surpassing the size of your facility, it’s important to expedite your responses.
Implement uniform procedures
How many ways have you sent and received RFIs? You need an RFI template and form.
Ask the contractor which standard format they prefer. Addressing their expectations and adjusting to their procedures can boost your response rate. Track your RFI instead of submitting it by email, paper, or whatever is nearest.
Our Cloud-based software streamlines the process. Some software lets you build up templates and routines to conveniently submit and track RFIs, giving everyone more visibility. This lets you monitor and examine all RFIs, answered and unanswered, in one place.
Escalation processes can also enhance RFIs. When an RFI is late, what should happen? To keep things flowing, plan ahead.
Please read the RFI thoroughly
When responding to a construction RFI, it’s important to look over the information thoroughly to reduce the likelihood of being contacted again. Leave no stone unturned in answering inquiries and offering complete explanations of all points raised. Responses that consist of “most of” anything are not acceptable to RFIs.
Be mindful with your contracts
While this is something that has to be done from the very beginning of a project, if the volume of RFIs is becoming too much to bear, giving some thought to the method of project delivery may assist. Methods of project delivery that emphasise teamwork and open dialogue, such design-build and integrated project delivery (IPD), drastically cut down on the number of requests for information (RFIs) that were previously necessary.
