#008 - 4 Ways To Create Value For Your Career Through RFI's


Listen Later

Submittals are the most important document in construction. But RFI's are the lifeblood of construction.

What is an RFI? An RFI is a "Request For Information". Essentially, a formal way of asking a question.

There can be so much power in the art of asking questions. Asking questions can help you influence people, influence their perspective of you, which helps you sell, helps you manage, and most importantly help you create VALUE FOR OTHERS.

However, you cannot ask questions frivolously or haphazardly. If you do then you could create a negative perception! You could be perceived as lazy, incompetent, or careless. Essentially, a nuisance that no one wants to work with!

Due diligence, did you try to answer it? How could you?

Did you try to come up with suggestions considering costs, schedule, pros/cons?

Did you spoon feed the information to expedite an answer?

Did you put a deadline with a clear impact?

What about answering RFI`s? What about answering questions?

Don’t just answer the question like a politician and consider it closed out. Call for a meeting!

This is another chance to show your value and earn that bonus, raise, or promotion at the end of the year!
