In the construction industry, all contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, service providers, owners, architects and engineers have to deal with Requests for Information (RFI) and change orders. This is partly due to the hurried nature of the business.

Both RFI and change orders are an extremely common occurrence, and, if not handled properly, they can have unfavorable cost and schedule impacts. Despite the familiarity with RFI and change orders, and although the process of managing them sounds easy, many companies fail to address and process RFI and change orders properly; therefore, costing the company money.

Gary Strickland Co. can help the client develop a process for effective management of project change (be it RFI or change orders) that fits the individual company’s needs and assists in reduction of schedule delays, cost overruns, claims and legal disputes, resulting in a more successful project.
