Construction Administration 101: Understanding the Basics

In this episode of What the RFI?, we dive into key terminology used in Construction Administration between architects and contractors. Learn why CA is essential for ensuring that a project is built according to the drawings and specifications, with the architect acting as the Coordinating Registered Professional (CRP) to oversee critical aspects like code compliance and safety.

We'll explain the role of essential terms like Request for Information (RFIs), Submittals, Change Orders (COs), and more in the construction process. Plus, discover the importance of Field Reviews and how often they should be conducted to keep your project on track.

Whether you're new to construction or a seasoned professional, this episode covers the must-know terms for a successful project. I'm your host, Matt Brennan, inviting you to join me each week as we uncover strategies to streamline your CA workflow.
