Requests for Information (RFI's) are critical elements of every project.

Commercial RFI's are typically used to collect written information about the capabilities of various suppliers, in a format that can be used for comparative purposes.

Technical RFI's are used between project participants to obtain clarification of design, specifications, requirements, etc..  The consolidated details of RFI's on a project, such as the total number of RFI's, when they were originated, when they were answered and the types of issues addressed frequntly become the subject of discussion during schedule recovery reviews, impact assessments and even claims.  Consequently, effective management of the RFI process contributes to well managed projects.
