Requests for Information (RFIs) are official documents used in construction to clarify design, specifications, and approvals. They are often needed when construction drawings lack sufficient detail, are outdated, or when the construction team proposes alternative materials or methods due to issues like shortages. Before making any deviations from the original plans, an RFI is submitted to request and document these changes.

Most contractors use RFIs, with the general contractor (GC) or construction manager typically submitting them to the design team. Subcontractors and specialty contractors send their RFIs to the GC, who may approve them or forward them to the architect or engineer. In some project structures, fabricators might submit RFIs directly to the design team.
