Your job, minus the screen work

You run the document side of the job: RFIs, submittals, drawing logs, minutes and closeout. You still walk the site every day. But most of your hours happen at a screen, often late in the evening.

Where your week goes

  1. Rebuilding the overdue RFI list by hand and counting days on the calendar
  2. Finding RFIs marked overdue that were really waiting on your own team
  3. Filing an answer as closed when its sketch quietly added work
  4. Checking dozens of resubmittal comments with two PDFs side by side
  5. Building meeting agendas from four different logs

What an agent takes over

  • Overdue follow-up Tracks RFIs on the contract's working-day calendar with the right person on the hook.
  • Escalations Drafts reminders and architect-level escalations for your approval.
  • Impact review Reads every answer and sketch for signs of added cost or time.
  • Pricing requests Sends pricing requests to the right subcontractor the same day.
  • Resubmittal check Confirms every reviewer comment was answered and flags any other change.
  • Agenda prep Lists escalated RFIs and at-risk submittals before the meeting.

What stays with you

  • The wording of every RFI

  • The technical review of submittals

  • Deciding whether an answer changes price or time, and objecting before proceeding

  • Relationships with the design team and walking the site
