How to Create an RFI from a Drawing Review
A good RFI makes the blocked design question obvious and keeps the evidence close enough for the respondent to answer properly.
Direct answer
Create an RFI from a drawing review by capturing the source drawing, revision, location, issue, clear question, required response date and any supporting evidence.
Ask one clear question
Avoid burying multiple issues inside one RFI. If the answer changes design responsibility or issue information, link it to a decision record.
Track the answer
The response should update the project record and any related action, issue sheet or decision.
FAQs
Common questions
Is Coorda generic project management software?
No. Coorda is drawing-led coordination software. It focuses on registers, revisions, RFIs, decisions, issue sheets, standards and project knowledge rather than generic task boards alone.
Can Coorda replace spreadsheets?
Coorda can replace disconnected drawing registers, RFI trackers and issue sheet spreadsheets where teams need live revision control, source links and an audit trail.
Who is Coorda for?
Coorda is for teams creating RFIs from drawing reviews, including consultants, contractors, design managers and project managers who need traceable project information.
Does Coorda use AI?
Yes. Coorda Assist and AI-assisted checks help engineers understand project information, but outputs remain reviewable and do not replace professional engineering judgement.
