AI RFI Generator for Construction

Before and after

The operational shift is from scattered manual review to document queries with available sources and reviewable drafts.

Before

The coordinator finds the conflict late, copies it into an email, and loses the exact source trail.

After

Converza keeps the question, evidence, citation, and draft in one workspace for team review before sending.

Real workflow for generating an RFI

The agent starts from indexed documents, responds with numbered citations, and proposes an editable RFI. The user decides whether to open a reference for validation.

1

Detect ambiguity

The team queries the specification, detail A-501, and Addendum 02. Converza flags the 200 mm versus 150 mm difference for the team to assess.
