Writing an RFI for Duct Conflicts
When drawings conflict, apprentices need to write clear RFIs that get answered quickly.
Stop if
- Conflict between drawing [X] and [Y] at [Z]. Propose field solution or request engineer direction?
Watch out
- Don't write without specific drawing references. Don't propose solutions without foreman approval. Don't submit for decisions within field authority.
Check
- Exact conflict?
- Which drawings involved?
- Conflicting dimensions/locations?
- Proposed solution?
Steps
- Exact conflict?
- Which drawings involved?

Say this to your foreman
