Draft a clean steel RFI two ways: fill in the fields for a template-based draft (nothing sent anywhere), or describe the issue in plain words and AI drafts it. Nine copy-ready formats cover the situations that generate most steel RFIs.
Drafting aid only — not legal advice. Adapt to your contract's notice requirements; your EOR and contract documents govern. Impact/rights wording is a starting point, not a determination.
Nine copy-ready RFI formats for the situations that generate most steel RFIs. Each has its own page: when to use it, a subject line, a body you can paste and fill, what to attach, how to word impact, and what not to say.
Log every one of these. Submission date, needed-by date, response date, what was held, what it cost. That trail is where steel money leaks — and where it’s recovered.
Drafting the RFI is the easy part. Knowing which ones are still unanswered three weeks later is the part that costs money.
The same detailer who built this site also built a workflow system to run his own shop — jobs, questions, RFIs, sheet status and the daily brief that says what is waiting on you. It is in build, the first outside shop pilots it this fall, and there is nothing to buy yet. See what it does and get early access →
