The Sub-to-GC RFI Response Tracker logs RFIs submitted by subcontractors to their general contractor, tracks response status and waiting days, flags overdue RFIs, and calculates cumulative schedule impact for delay claim documentation.
Log an RFI
Your internal RFI tracking number
Brief description of the question
Date the RFI was submitted to the GC
Deadline for the GC to respond

Example
A steel erector has 4 RFIs submitted to their GC: 2 answered within a week, 1 open for 5 days (needed in 3 — overdue 2 days, medium impact), 1 open for 12 days (needed in 4 — overdue 8 days, high impact at 2 days/day).
How to Use This Tool

How to Apply the Results
Export or screenshot the RFI log regularly. Overdue RFIs with schedule impact are the foundation of delay claims. Send follow-up notices to the GC referencing the RFI number, submission date, and days overdue. The cumulative impact days quantify your delay exposure.
