The simplest way for Subcontractors to create and track RFI in GC Procore

Some general contractors struggle with subcontractors adopting Procore. Even if they add a condition into contracts or discuss incentives sometimes It may take hard efforts to persuade subs using Procore.

Why is it so? This requires time and money to complete training, getting certificates, etc., and not all subcontractors are ready for this.

Another problem is that some RFIs can have a long communication thread because it may need to get feedback and clarification from the Owner or a Consultant/Specialist before he/she can provide an authorized answer. As a result, using standard Procore functionality and emails it takes a long time and that’s difficult for Subcontractors or Superintendents to interpret correctly.

Buildout.ai offers an easy solution for RFI via Slack messenger.

The simple and natural Slack interface is clear to subcontractors and foremen, it does not require training and it’s cost-efficient.

Subcontractors or GC staff just type the text of RFI in the Slack channel and Buildout.ai assistant creates the item in Procore without leaving messenger.

You can quickly discuss and clarify Procore RFI items with other project stakeholders right within Slack. Finally, you get notifications about RFI status changes, view and track your RFIs any time from Slack with no Procore mobile app.
