Construction Submittal and RFI Agent

Problem

Submittals and RFIs are contract instruments with deadlines, and they are run out of spreadsheets and email. A missed submittal deadline becomes a delay claim, and a drawing conflict found in the field instead of in preconstruction becomes a change order.

Solution

An agent that reads the spec sections and the drawing set, keeps the submittal log honest, drafts each RFI with the sheet and detail reference already in it, and escalates against the response period the contract sets.
