A project in RFI Manager represents a single construction engagement — a building, renovation, or infrastructure job. Every workflow you run in the platform, from RFI tracking to QC drawing analysis to cost matching, operates within a project. This scoping keeps your data organized and ensures that AI-powered analysis draws only from the files and context relevant to that job.Documentation Index

What a project contains
Each project holds a distinct set of fields that describe the engagement and help contextualize AI results.Name
Name
The display name for the project. This appears in the sidebar, the top bar selector, and in any exported reports. Choose a name your whole team will recognize.
Description
Description
An optional free-text description. Use this to capture scope notes, client details, or any context that helps orient new team members.
Location
Location
The province or state where the project is based (for example, “Ontario (ON)” or “California (CA)”). Location data is used to contextualize cost matching results and regulatory context.
Project type
Project type
The physical space type, such as Classroom, Office, Laboratory, Hospital, or Data Center. This helps the AI tailor its analysis and specification drafts.
Market sector
Market sector
The industry or institutional category — for example, Healthcare, Higher Education, Workplace, or Government. Market sector informs cost benchmarking and specification recommendations.
Construction type
Construction type
The building construction classification (Type I through Type V). Used for specification drafting and QC analysis context.
Year started
Year started
The year construction began. This anchors cost data and helps generate time-relevant material and specification references.
Creating a project
You create projects from the Organizations page, which lists all your organizations and their projects.Go to Organizations
Click Organizations in the sidebar. You will see your organizations listed, each with their projects below.
Click New Project
Find the organization you want to add the project to and click the + Project button on the right side of that organization’s header row.
Fill in project details
Enter the project name (required) and any optional fields: description, location, project type, market sector, construction type, and year started. You can also upload project documents to auto-fill fields.
Switching between projects
The currently active project is shown in the top bar. Every workflow page — RFIs, QC, cost matching, and others — uses this selection to filter and scope data. To switch projects, click the project name in the top bar and select a different project from the dropdown. The page will reload and show data only for the newly selected project.If you do not have a project selected when you open a workflow, that workflow will show a “Project Required” prompt or display all items across the organization. Select a project to see scoped results.
How workflows use projects
All major workflows in RFI Manager are scoped to the active project:RFI tracking
RFIs are created within a project and filtered by it. Gmail sync requires a project to be selected before it runs.
QC analysis
Drawings you upload are stored and analyzed within the active project’s context.
Cost matching
Material takeoffs and cost estimates are scoped to the project and can reference project-specific files.
Knowledge vault
Files you upload to the vault can be associated with a project so the AI draws from them when answering questions.
