Duct clash at grid D-6
From the super’s phone to the pay app.
RFIs, submittals, drawings, daily logs and photos captured once in the field. On the sample job, a hidden condition logged at 7:42 AM becomes RFI-212, a priced change order and a line on the next pay app without anyone retyping it. Trace it step by step.
