<p>Make sure every RFI points to a specific element and a decision someone can act on. Most unanswered RFIs come down to the same thing: nobody could see what was at stake. When the context lives in scattered emails and old markups, the other side has nothing solid to respond to, so it sits in a queue.</p> <p>Here is how to fix it:</p> <ul><li><strong>Ground the RFI in the live model, not a static PDF.</strong> BidLight runs inside Revit and Navisworks, so you can pin an issue to the exact element.</li><li><strong>Carry the sheet and revision.</strong> Pinned issues bring them along, so nobody argues about which version it was.</li><li><strong>Name one owner.</strong> The owner sees it in the 6am digest.</li><li><strong>Close with proof.</strong> The answer closes it with a screenshot, a tagged user and the model commit.</li><li><strong>Watch who is behind.</strong> The project view shows it while there is still schedule to recover.</li></ul> <p>Specific, pinned and owned beats a long email every time.</p>
