<p>Most RFIs are questions your model already had the answer to. Someone moved a duct, nobody wrote down who or when, and now you are drafting an email instead of looking at your own record.</p>
<p>BidLight keeps one live record of the project inside Revit and Navisworks. Every export is versioned and diffed element by element. So the question "what changed and who touched it" takes a minute, not a meeting.</p>
<p>Here is the drill:</p>
<ol><li>Open the versioned export before you open a blank RFI.</li><li>Read the element level diff for the change in question.</li><li>Pull the issue from BidLight instead of Teams, email, or Bluebeam.</li><li>Check what the change did to the estimate, which already updated in real time.</li><li>If the question survives all of that, send the RFI with the diff attached.</li></ol>
<p>You find out about the slip when it happens, not at the GC meeting three weeks later. Every week a clash sits unresolved runs $15K to $50K in idle field labour. Fewer RFIs means faster answers and numbers you can defend.</p>
