Contractors may attempt to use RFI’s as justification for a claim.
RFI’s do not constitute submission of a claim. Most contracts have specific contract clauses regarding claim submission and these must be adhered to. Owner can be held liable for delay caused by untimely response to RFIs. This video reviews examples of abuse of RFIs and the role that the construction contract plays in defense of these claims.
