RFI markup workflows

The question lives where it was asked.

Tag the spot on the drawing and link it to an RFI. The question carries the exact plan location; the RFI module tracks it to resolution; a QR code on the printed set opens the current answer in the field.

Why teams use it

Organized around the sheet set.

From markup to RFI

Raise the RFI from the drawing itself — sheet reference and location context attach automatically instead of being described in prose.

Tracked in the RFI module

Every open question on the project in one place, with status visible without hunting through email threads.

On the printed set

Export for print and the RFI tag becomes a QR code. The crew scans the spot on the paper plan and reads the current answer.

FAQ

Common questions

Does Redliner manage the RFI log?

Yes. Redliner has a dedicated RFI module — questions raised from the drawing are tracked there through response.

Why start the RFI on the drawing?

Most RFIs are about a specific spot on a sheet. Tagging that spot attaches the location and context automatically, so the responder sees exactly what is being asked.

Can outside collaborators see the RFI?

Yes. A live share link shows the RFI tag in context on the sheet, and QR tags on printed sets open it in the field.

Make plan questions easier to answer.

Use Redliner for construction PDF markups that keep RFI context tied to the sheet.
