RFI and submittal tracking built for residential builders

Custom builds generate a constant stream of questions, clarifications, and approvals. Ressio keeps them organized — with status, history, and accountability on every request.

RFIs — every question tracked from open to closed

Log requests for information directly in the project. Assign them to the right person, track their status, and keep the response documented. No more 'I sent that email three weeks ago' conversations — the full thread is attached to the RFI.

  • Create RFIs from any project with status tracking
  • Assign to team members, subs, or design partners
  • Full response thread attached to every request
  • Searchable history on every project

Submittals — reviewed, approved, and filed

Track submittal requests through review and approval without losing them in a folder or email chain. Attach documents, mark status, and keep a complete record of what was submitted, who reviewed it, and when it was approved.

  • Submit materials, shop drawings, and product data in Ressio
  • Review and approval status tracked per submittal
  • Files attached directly to the submittal record
  • Full audit trail — who reviewed what and when

Approvals — everything pending in one view

The Approvals tab in Ressio shows every document waiting for action — proposals, change orders, purchase orders, bid requests, and submittals — all in one place. Nothing gets missed because it's buried in a tab you didn't check.

  • Unified approvals view across proposals, COs, POs, bids, and submittals
  • Filter by type, status, and project
  • Action items surfaced clearly — pending, approved, declined
  • Full history on every document in the approval chain

Project documentation — complete at closeout

Every RFI, submittal, and approval is attached to the project — so when the job closes, your documentation is already organized. No scramble to find what was approved, when it was approved, and who signed off. The record exists whether you need it today or in two years.

  • All requests and approvals stored per project
  • Exportable for warranty or dispute documentation
  • Searchable by project, type, status, or assignee
  • Part of the complete Ressio project record — not a separate system

From open request to closed record in three steps

01

Log the request

Create the RFI or submittal in the project. Add a description, attach files, and assign it to the right person. It's in Ressio — not in someone's inbox.

02

Track status and responses

Assigned parties receive notifications and can respond directly. Status updates in real time — open, in review, approved, declined. You see where everything stands without asking.

03

Close out with a complete record

Every request, response, and approval is stored on the project permanently. At closeout, your documentation is already organized — no scrambling.

RFIs and submittals connect to the whole project

Ressio's approvals workflow connects RFIs and submittals to your schedule, budget, and project documentation — so a pending approval doesn't slip through the cracks.

What builders say about request and approval tracking in Ressio

I used to have approval conversations buried in three different email threads. Now they're in Ressio — with the document attached and a timestamp on every action. I can pull up any approval in seconds.
