Construction Communications Protocol - AHPP Figure 10.27 - RFI’s
Hello Community, Can somebody please explain if Figure 10.27 From the AHPP is a good source to help determine proper flow distribution of RFI’s? Also can we assume that the arrows on this figure defined as “Coordination Only” can be used for RFI’s as well? Or are we to assume that only the solid arrows are appropriate for RFI’s and that “Coordination Only” does not include the transfer of an RFI. If it’s solid arrows only, the Owner would technically have to pass the RFI given to him by the Architect directly to his Consultant. If we can use the “Coordination Only” arrow, the Owner can be bi-passed in the flow/handover process of an RFI meaning the GC can go directly to the Owners Consultant or to the Architect if Arch and or Arch Consultant input is necessary. I apologize if my description is unclear as I was not able to attach a photo I took of the figure which would help clarify my questions. I look forward to your feedback! Thank you.

Hi Pierre, I looked at that figure and I wish I looked at it prior to my first PcM attempt!
Scenario:
The Owner retains a commercial kitchen design consultant. He lays out all the equipment for the architect. He submits his drawings to the architect and gives the layout to his Electrical engineer to do the plug layout and do the panel schedules. The Owner's kitchen consultant then changes one of the specs of a gas oven to an electric oven because they discontinued that model. The electrical SUBcontractor hired by the consultant reads the equipment schedule and spec and notices there's an electric oven, however, there's no plug proposed for that unit on the electrical plan. The electrical subcontractor has to tell the contractor to submit an RFI to make sure if that oven is supposed to be electric or gas. There's an inconsistency that has to be cleared up.
