What are the demerits of RFI in Constraction ?

[Houseura]

• In case responses to RFIs are slow, it can cause project deadlines to slip and work to halt temporarily.
• The lack of timely answers might pause the most important part of the project.
• Project teams are responsible for managing RFIs which takes up extra time, effort and paperwork.
• Might slow down everyday business operations if not made efficient.
• If the RFI isn’t clear, the answers can be uncertain which wastes time and can lead to misunderstandings.
• Sometimes, owners would like more details, resulting in more delays and stressed contractors.
• There are occasions where contractors make use of RFIs to pass responsibility or support change orders, no matter how minor the problem.
• Having more RFIs than planned can result in extra costs since changes in the project’s scope and pauses from construction can increase the schedule.
• Submitting many RFI throughout the job and waiting for answers may slow down the timeline and cause issues for subcontractors.
• If there is no documented evidence for the RFIs and their responses, this can hurt your standing in legal issues.
