RFI Insights reads every incoming RFI, retrieves the drawings and submittals that answer it, drafts a response for your engineer to sign off, and clusters the repeats so design gets better across the whole program.
RFIs are how a team resolves the gaps and conflicts in an incomplete design. On a big program they stack up fast, and every one is a project engineer hunting through drawings, specs, and submittals for the detail that settles it. The fields meant to route it are often blank or miscoded, and the same question resurfaces at the next building because nobody connected it to the last.

Slow or missing answers feed rework. Rework, conflicts, and data-hunting run about $177 billion a year in US construction, nearly half traced to poor project information. FMI / PlanGrid, “Construction Disconnected.”
Pull every incoming RFI straight from your system.
Tag each by discipline and issue type, even when the submitter fields are blank or wrong.
Find the drawings and submittals that answer it, and draft a response. Your engineer reviews and makes the call.
Group similar RFIs across buildings and campuses, so the same question stops coming back.
Project management tools store and route RFIs. They don’t classify them, find the answer, or draft the response. Generic AI doesn’t understand construction disciplines or your drawing and submittal set, and your project data often can’t go to public cloud.
RFI Insights turns the RFI log into design intelligence that compounds across a prototypical program, so the same question stops getting re-asked and the same mistake stops repeating building after building.
Classifies every RFI by discipline and issue type even when the submitter fields are blank or wrong.
Retrieves the relevant drawings and submittals and drafts the response. Your engineer reviews and signs off.
Clusters across buildings, campuses, and design partners, with KPIs by discipline, week, building, and contractor, no manual export.
On-prem or in an environment you control. No third-party AI provider touches your project data.
Open-weight models served on Apolo’s private GPUs. Nothing routes to public cloud.
A forward-deployed engineer connects your RFI workflow and document set and configures it to your disciplines. Live in weeks, not quarters.
That’s the design point. It classifies by discipline and issue type even when the submitter fields are blank or wrong.
No. It drafts a response grounded in your drawings and submittals. The engineer reviews and makes the final call.
It clusters similar RFIs across buildings, campuses, and design partners, so you see the patterns and coordinate better.
On-prem or in an environment you control. No third-party AI provider. ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type 2.
Weeks. A forward-deployed engineer connects your RFI system and configures it to your disciplines and document set.
