### The Staggering Cost of RFI Latency
According to industry studies, the average RFI takes 9.7 days to generate, submit, review, and answer. On active sites, work in the affected zone frequently screeches to a halt while equipment sits idle and crews are reassigned, costing thousands of dollars per day.
Most RFIs are delayed not because the technical query is impossible, but because the site engineer is buried in field execution and doesn't have 45 minutes to sit down, crop drawing PDFs, write a formal memo, and find the appropriate specification clause.
Autonomous Communication Synthesis
With Supersite's Auto-Drafted Communications feature: 1. Photo & Voice Trigger: The field supervisor snaps a photo of a duct colliding with a structural beam and dictates: *"HVAC duct on grid 4-B clashes with the 600mm drop beam. Can we sleeve through the web or do we need to offset the duct 200mm down?"* 2. Context Aggregation: Supersite automatically pulls the structural drawing reference (Rev 3, Sheet S-104), MEP coordination plan (Rev 2, Sheet M-201), and identifies the project structural engineer on the distribution list. 3. Formal Draft Generation: In seconds, Supersite outputs a standard AIA or FIDIC formatted RFI: - Clear statement of issue and grid location. - Attached side-by-side photo with visual callout and crop of the relevant drawing section. - Proposed technical solution and impact assessment (schedule/cost neutral if approved within 48 hours). - One-tap approval for the Project Director to dispatch via email or PDF.
