Route RFIs and calculate response aging
See this course’s project requirements
A fictional construction document register with revision/supersession history, drawing/specification discrepancies, an unsent request for information, response disposition and distribution receipt checks.
Keep your working files in your own notebook or software. Save a private description, checklist, and work link in My Proof.
What to include
- Save an issued-document register and draft warning; include the original-case decision evidence and a separate changed-case result.
- Save draft RFI7 with sources, question and needed-by Day6; include the original-case decision evidence and a separate changed-case result.
- Save the RFI status log with next owner; include the original-case decision evidence and a separate changed-case result.
- Save response review with independent design and commitment states; include the original-case decision evidence and a separate changed-case result.
- Save revision distribution log with S follow-up owner; include the original-case decision evidence and a separate changed-case result.
- Save document/RFI/distribution/handoff packet with two next actions; include the original-case decision evidence and a separate changed-case result.
Review and revise
Use these criteria to check your work and choose what to improve.
- The final packet uses the supplied task-specific constraints and all six records agree.
- Every result can be traced to an identifier, input, calculation or stated decision rule.
- Changed-case practice updates dependent records and keeps holds or uncertainty visible.
- The packet states the learner role, authority boundary and specific next verification needed before real work.

The idea in everyday life
Original fictional workplace practice; paper or a local document is sufficient. The rules and records below are supplied for this exercise, not asserted universal workplace policy. Fir RFI7 submitted Day2 to designer L, needed Day6; current Day5, no response. RFI8 submitted Day1, response received Day4, manager review pending. Exercise aging=current day−submitted day; overdue if current day>needed day.
An RFI log tracks submission, needed-by date, responsible responder and current state; elapsed age is not proof of response or approval.
Route RFIs and calculate response aging — worked practice
An RFI log tracks submission, needed-by date, responsible responder and current state; elapsed age is not proof of response or approval.
Fir RFI7 submitted Day2 to designer L, needed Day6; current Day5, no response. RFI8 submitted Day1, response received Day4, manager review pending. Exercise aging=current day−submitted day; overdue if current day>needed day. Use paper or a local document. Preserve the original case and make a separate changed-case record.
1. Step 1
Record responder and submitted/needed dates.
You should see: RFI7:L, Day2, Day6.
Keep the stated identifier, unit and policy alongside this result so another reader can check it.
2. Step 2
Calculate current unanswered age.
You should see: RFI7 age 3 days at Day5.
Keep the stated identifier, unit and policy alongside this result so another reader can check it.
3. Step 3
Separate response received from manager review.
You should see: RFI8 responded; review pending.
Keep the stated identifier, unit and policy alongside this result so another reader can check it.
4. Step 4
Save the RFI status log with next owner.
You should see: RFI7 not overdue yet, designer follow-up; RFI8 manager review.
Keep the stated identifier, unit and policy alongside this result so another reader can check it.
What to finish
Save the RFI status log with next owner; include the original-case decision evidence and a separate changed-case result.
Watch for this
Closing an RFI when a response exists but required review remains incomplete.
How can I tell I understand it?
Using the supplied identifiers, I can save the RFI status log with next owner. My changed-case record names the revised condition and explains which dependent decision it changes.
