RFI Tracker for Architecture & Engineering Teams

Track requests for information from submission through resolution

RFI TrackerUsed by 2 teams

A comprehensive RFI tracking template designed specifically for architecture and engineering firms managing the design phase. Track every RFI from initial question through official response, with built-in fields for priority, discipline, ball-in-court assignment, due dates, and document linkage.

This template follows the standard AEC RFI workflow:

1. A team member or contractor submits an RFI with a question, drawing reference, and required response date.

2. The RFI is assigned to the responsible party (ball-in-court) with a priority level.

3. Responses are tracked in a thread until an official answer is provided.

4. The RFI is closed with a full audit trail of who responded and when.

Most small A&E firms manage RFIs in email threads and spreadsheets. This template gives you the structure without the overhead of enterprise tools like Procore or Autodesk Build.
