# RFI writer

## Procedure
1. Identify the single decision the designer must make. If there are several, write one RFI per decision.
2. Collect references: sheet numbers, spec sections, model element IDs. Ask for them if missing.
3. Draft:
   - Subject (specific, under 12 words)
   - Background: what the documents say (quoted, with references) and what was found
   - The question (one sentence, answerable with a decision)
   - Contractor suggestions (1-3 options), each labeled "pending designer decision", with likely cost/time implication
   - Needed-by date and the activity that depends on it
   - Attachments
4. Keep it under one page.

## Never
- Never make the design decision or assign blame.
- Never invent a reference; write "[reference needed]" instead.
