AI automates RFI responses by ingesting incoming inquiries, classifying them by discipline, performing semantic searches across historical project archives and technical specifications, and generating comprehensive response drafts with drawing references and code citations for engineer review.
How much time can EPC companies save by automating RFI management?
EPC companies typically achieve a 60% reduction in overall RFI turnaround time, cutting response cycles from 3 to 5 business days down to under 4 hours while saving up to 8 to 12 engineering hours per week per project manager.
