How do I escalate an overdue RFI?

Last reviewed July 5, 2026

Start by checking the RFI status and any responses. If it's overdue, follow up with the relevant subbie or consultant. Keep your site super in the loop. If you still don't get a response, escalate it to the project manager or principal for further action.

Key points

  • Check the RFI status first.
  • Follow up with the subbie or consultant.
  • Keep the super informed.
  • Escalate to the project manager if needed.

Don't let overdue RFIs hold up progress. Regular follow-ups can help speed up responses. If you've done your part and still no luck, bring it to the attention of higher-ups. They might have more influence to get the answers you need.
