  4. Conclusion

Most RFIs come from the same handful of gaps. Getting these details right in the construction set saves time on site and protects the design.

Wall sections

Show every build-up, the junctions at floor and roof, and how the waterproofing and insulation continue around corners.

Door and window schedules

Sizes, fire ratings, hardware and finishes in one place, cross-referenced to the plans.

Notes that prevent RFIs

  • State tolerances and who checks them.
  • Reference standards and specifications by section.
  • Flag areas that need site verification.

Conclusion

A construction set is read by people under time pressure. Clear sections, complete schedules and precise notes answer their questions before they ask.
