Stop spending 30 minutes on every RFI.
Carnation pulls in drawings and specs, drafts answers with sources, and syncs to Procore — before you even open the email.
Every RFI is 30 minutes your PE doesn't have
The Research Burden
Every RFI means digging through drawings, cross-referencing specs, checking past issues, and manually entering everything into Procore. On a $50M project, that's 500+ RFIs, each one a 30-minute research project.
The Bottleneck
Construction professionals spend 35% of their time on non-productive activities. Your PE should be solving problems, not hunting through emails and PDFs to answer questions already in the documents.
