RFI template (Request for Information)
An RFI template in Word with a real filled-in example, fields for impact, deadline and acknowledgment of receipt — for raising technical questions with the design team in a way that leaves a paper trail.

What's included
Who it's for
When something isn't clear in a drawing or the project documents, the question usually gets resolved over WhatsApp — and disappears the moment it's answered, with no record of when it was asked or what happened in the meantime.
This template structures that question: what is being asked, of whom, what the schedule impact is if it goes unanswered in time, and it leaves space for the answer and the acknowledgment of receipt — all in one document, not in a conversation that gets lost.
What it doesn't solve — we say so in the template itself — is tracking how many RFIs are pending on the project, or flagging when one has gone too long without an answer: that's on you.
Bloqbase keeps every RFI on a project in one place, with status and deadline visible, and flags when one has gone too long without an answer. Get in touch if you want to see it with your real site.
How to put it to work on a real project
The idea isn't to download another file and forget it in a folder. Use it with a specific case: a pending certificate, a coordination meeting, a cost overrun or a handover to the developer. Fill in the resource with real data from your project, validate the result with your own technical judgment, and keep it as an internal reference to repeat the process next time.
