Project & Task Management

Build a RFI Tracker App with Glide

A Glide RFI tracker app gives construction project teams a structured system for submitting, routing, and resolving requests for information — replacing the email thread that loses RFIs between design team mailboxes and the spreadsheet that was last updated three weeks ago. GlideApps Agency builds RFI management tools for general contractors, owners, and construction managers who know that unresolved RFIs are among the top causes of construction delays and that their current process doesn't provide the visibility needed to manage them proactively. We build systems that keep RFIs moving.

What does building a RFI Tracker app include?

Every engagement includes discovery, data architecture, UI/UX design, development, QA, and post-launch support — not just a build-and-handoff.

Discovery & Architecture

Requirements mapping, data modeling, integration planning, and platform-fit assessment before a single screen is built.

UI/UX Design

Wireframes and interactive prototypes designed for your users — not generic templates. Optimized for mobile and desktop.

Development & QA

Built by certified Glide experts with enterprise experience. Rigorous testing across devices, roles, and data volumes.

Launch & Support

User training, documentation, and ongoing maintenance. We don't disappear after deployment.

Key features of your RFI Tracker app

Structured RFI Submission with Classification

Submit RFIs with discipline, specification section, drawing reference, and impact classification — capturing the structured data the design team needs to respond accurately without the back-and-forth that results from vague questions submitted by email.

Routing and Response Workflow

Route each RFI to the responsible design discipline with due date assignment, response tracking, and escalation alerts when responses approach or exceed the contractual response period — keeping the design team accountable to the schedule.

RFI Log and Status Dashboard

View all open, pending, and resolved RFIs in a single dashboard showing age, responsible party, and schedule impact — giving the construction manager the full RFI picture at a glance rather than requiring a log review or status meeting.

Schedule Impact Documentation

Document schedule and cost impacts associated with open and resolved RFIs — building the contemporaneous record needed to support delay claims and change orders when RFI response times contribute to project delays.

Who uses a RFI Tracker app?

+Replace the email-based RFI process with a structured app that assigns each RFI to a responsible design discipline, tracks response time, and escalates overdue RFIs to the construction manager before they impact the schedule

+Give project owners and construction managers a real-time RFI log showing open items by discipline, age, and schedule impact — enabling proactive management of the design team response process rather than reactive scramble when RFIs block work

+Build a contemporaneous schedule impact record for every RFI — documenting the work held pending resolution — so the contractor has defensible delay documentation if RFI response times contribute to schedule impacts at project closeout

How much does a RFI Tracker app cost?

Projects start at $15,000 for internal business apps. Most clients invest $40,000–$80,000 annually across development, iteration, and support.

Project Type	Timeline	Starting At
Internal Business App	4–6 weeks	$15,000
Client-Facing Portal	4–6 weeks	$20,000
Enterprise Platform	6–8 weeks	$40,000
Multi-App Architecture	8–12 weeks	$50,000+

The Glide Sprint Process

How we build your RFI Tracker app

Discovery

Requirements, data modeling, and platform-fit assessment. We define scope before writing a line of logic.

Architecture

Data structure, security model, integration map, and user roles. The blueprint that prevents rework.

Build

Iterative development with weekly demos. You see progress, not just status updates.

QA & Launch

Cross-device testing, user acceptance, and production deployment with rollback safety.

Support

Ongoing maintenance, feature iterations, and scaling support. We don't disappear after launch.

Frequently asked questions about RFI Tracker apps

How does the RFI tracker connect to our construction project management system?+

We connect Glide RFI trackers with Procore, Autodesk Construction Cloud, and PlanGrid via API — keeping the RFI log synchronized with the project management system used by the broader project team.

Can subcontractors submit RFIs directly through the app?+

Yes. We build subcontractor submission portals with limited access — allowing subs to submit and track their own RFIs without accessing the full project management data or other trades' communications.

How does the app handle RFI responses with multiple revision rounds?+

We build response threading that tracks initial responses, field queries, and revised answers in a single RFI record — maintaining a complete communication history rather than splitting the conversation across reply chains.

Can the RFI tracker connect to our drawing management system?+

Yes. We link RFI records to drawing records in document management systems so drawing references are accessible directly from the RFI — reducing the time spent locating the correct drawing version during RFI review.

What does an RFI tracker app cost?+

RFI tracker apps typically run $14,000–$25,000 depending on the project team size, subcontractor portal requirements, construction management system integration, and schedule impact documentation complexity.
