RFI and submittal email tracking
The inbox often knows a project item is stuck before the formal log does. The report turns that signal into a clear next action.
What to track
RFIs and submittals get risky when the latest email, log status, and field expectation are not aligned. The report is designed to surface aging decisions and unclear ownership.
- RFI sent but no answer is visible.
- Submittal comments received but revision owner is unclear.
- Client or GC asks a question that blocks field work.
- Internal team discusses a project decision but nobody closes the loop.
What not to automate
The desk does not approve submittals, answer design questions, or send project direction on its own.
It organizes the queue, cites the thread, and drafts suggested follow-up for the responsible human to approve.
