RFI Tracker
Draft. Track. Close. Every RFI in one place.
Describe the issue. trussnote drafts a clear, professional RFI with the right references, tracks the status, and gives you a full log you can export. No more scattered emails, no more missed responses.
The problem
RFIs disappear into email threads and spreadsheets. Responses take weeks.
You write each RFI from scratch, spending 15 to 30 minutes per item on formatting and references
Tracking open items means switching between email, spreadsheets, and meeting notes
When the architect or engineer finally responds, it takes another 20 minutes to log the answer
During construction, nobody can find the RFI that clarified the detail they are building right now
The solution
One tool to draft, send, track, and close every RFI on every project.
Describe the issue in plain language and trussnote drafts a professional RFI with spec and drawing references
AI suggests the correct spec section, CSI division, and drawing reference based on your description
Track every RFI by status: Open, Pending Response, Answered, Closed
Full chronological log with dates, responsible parties, and response history
Export your complete RFI log as a formatted report for project closeout
Link RFIs to projects so your entire team has visibility
What it actually does
Every feature your close needs. Nothing it does not.
AI-Drafted RFI Text
Describe the issue in your own words. trussnote produces a clear, professional RFI with the spec section, drawing reference, and a precisely worded question. You edit and send, not write from scratch.
Automatic Numbering and Logging
Every RFI is numbered sequentially per project. Date created, date due, responsible party, and status are tracked automatically. No manual spreadsheet entry.
Status Tracking
Open, Pending Response, Answered, Closed. Filter by status to see what needs attention right now. Nothing sits unanswered because it was buried in an email thread.
Project-Linked History
Every RFI is linked to a project. Your entire team sees the full history. During construction, anyone can find the RFI that clarified the detail they are building.
Export for Closeout
One click. A formatted RFI log with every item, every response, and every date. Ready for project closeout documentation or owner deliverables.
Spec and Drawing References
AI suggests the correct CSI division and drawing sheet based on your description. References are included in the RFI automatically so the recipient knows exactly where to look.
How it works
Three steps to a better output.
01
Describe the issue
Type what needs clarification. Add the spec section, drawing reference, and who should respond. trussnote drafts the full RFI text.
02
Review and send
Edit the draft if needed. The RFI is numbered automatically and added to your project log with the correct date and status.
03
Track responses
Update each RFI as responses come in. Mark items as Answered or Closed. Your full RFI log is always current and exportable.

Clarify ceiling height at corridor transition between Building A and Building B. Drawing A3.2 shows 9'-0" AFF but adjacent section on A4.1 indicates 8'-6" AFF.
Response - Apr 1, 2026
Correct ceiling height at corridor transition is 9'-0" AFF per Section A4.1 detail 3. Sheet A3.2 will be revised in next ASI. Proceed with 9'-0" AFF.
Confirm routing for 4" sanitary line at Level 2. Proposed route conflicts with structural beam at grid C-5 per Sheet P2.1.
