Objetivo
Crear una RFI con la herramienta RFI del proyecto.
Contexto
En la industria de la construcción, las RFI se utilizan para aclarar ambigüedades, responder preguntas y llenar los vacíos de información que se producen durante el proceso de construcción. Una situación habitual para crear una RFI es cuando un subcontratista o jefe de obra necesitan información específica sobre cómo completar un proyecto o una tarea del arquitecto o ingeniero del proyecto. Por ejemplo, el plano de un proyecto puede no estar claro, un requisito puede ser impreciso o la especificación de un producto puede estar obsoleta, ser inexacta o estar incompleta. En tales casos, es importante que las preguntas se respondan de la manera más rápida y concisa posible para evitar errores de comunicación, retrasos en el proyecto o reparaciones.
En Procore, las RFI constan de los siguientes componentes:
- Información general. Para asegurarse de que una pregunta se interprete correctamente, es importante incluir cualquier información adicional que proporcione información básica relacionada y contexto sobre la pregunta, el problema o la ambigüedad específicos.
- Pregunta. Pregunta formal relacionada con el proyecto de construcción que requiere una respuesta de otra persona. Por ejemplo, un subcontratista puede enviar la pregunta en una RFI porque un documento de construcción o una especificación de producto son ambiguos. También se pueden hacer preguntas en nombre de otra persona u otro proveedor.
- Respuestas. Una respuesta enviada por una persona asignada de la RFI. Por ejemplo, un ingeniero de proyecto puede proporcionar una respuesta a una pregunta del subcontratista para aclarar una especificación ambigua.
- Respuesta oficial. Una o varias respuestas que se han designado como "Respuesta oficial" a la RFI. El "gestor de RFI" suele seleccionar la respuesta oficial.
Para ver un flujo de trabajo habitual del proceso de RFI, consulte el Diagrama de flujo de trabajo.
Temas a considerar
- Permisos de usuario necesarios:
- Para crear una RFI con el estado "Borrador" o "Abierto":
- Permisos de nivel "Administrador" en la herramienta RFI del proyecto.
O BIEN

- Para crear una RFI con el estado "Borrador":
- Permisos de nivel "Estándar" en la herramienta RFI del proyecto.
Importante
- El ajuste de configuración "Mostrar sólo las respuestas oficiales a los usuarios estándar y de sólo lectura" debe estar desactivado para que un usuario con permisos de nivel "estándar" en la herramienta de PDI del proyecto pueda ver todas las respuestas a un PDI que haya creado. Consulte Configuración de los parámetros avanzados: RFIs.
- Los usuarios con el permiso pormenorizado "Actuar como gestor de RFI" habilitado en sus plantillas de permisos pueden ver todas las respuestas a las solicitudes de información que crean (solo "estándar") o para las que han sido designados como gestores de solicitudes de información, incluso si este ajuste está activado.
- Requisitos:
- Requisitos:
- Para guardar una RFI en el estado "Abierto", los siguientes campos son obligatorios: Número, Asunto, Personas asignadas, Fecha límite y Pregunta.

Creación de una RFI como usuario con nivel de permisos estándar
Si usted es capataz, jefe de obra o subcontratista de un proyecto, su director de proyectos o el ingeniero pueden otorgarle permisos de nivel estándar en la herramienta RFI del proyecto. De este modo podrá crear una RFI con el estado "Borrador" y enviarla a la persona que usted designe como gestor de RFI para su revisión. Esa persona puede revisar la RFI, ponerla en estado "Abierto" y asignarla a los miembros adecuados del equipo de proyecto para obtener una respuesta.
Notas:
- Como usuario con permiso de nivel "Estándar", NO verá todos los campos que están disponibles para los usuarios con permiso de nivel "Administrador" de la herramienta.
- Importante: Si tiene permisos de nivel estándar para la herramienta RFI y desea recibir una notificación para la respuesta oficial a su RFI, lo deben añadir a la lista de distribución de la RFI. Si NO es miembro de la lista de distribución, NO recibirá ninguna notificación de la respuesta oficial para las RFI que usted cree.
- Vaya a la herramienta RFI del proyecto.
- Haga clic en + Crear.
- En la sección "Información general", rellene lo siguiente:
