Construction and real estate organizations rely heavily on RFIs to evaluate potential vendors before committing to detailed scope documents, proposals, bids, or technical assessments.
What Is an RFI in Construction Procurement? A Request for Information (RFI) is an early-stage document used to understand vendor capabilities, compare solutions, validate fit, identify integration and jobsite compatibility, and build a shortlist before issuing a formal RFP. Construction buyers also require early information on SOC 2 and compliance posture.
Iris helps construction vendors by enabling them to auto-fill repetitive content, maintain consistent messaging, collaborate without version chaos, and build a centralized knowledge library for RFI responses.
