RFI answer drafting
Draft a response from plans, specs, addenda, and prior RFIs, then inspect every citation before the answer is sent.
Construction RFI workspace
RFI response in 15 minutes.
Connect plans + specs + prior RFIs. AI answers RFIs with sheet number and spec section citations.
Built for project managers, architects, engineers, general contractors, subcontractor coordinators, and owner reps who need fast answers without losing the drawing set.
15-minute RFI draft
Turn the question, plan set, specs, addenda, and prior RFIs into a cited draft.
Sheet + spec citations
Every answer can carry a sheet number, detail callout, and spec section.

The RFI backlog
A simple field question can touch six sources.
The PM has the subcontractor question, the architect has the drawing intent, the spec writer has the section language, and the superintendent remembers a prior RFI. The schedule still needs a defensible answer. Leapable keeps the draft tied to the drawing sheet, spec section, addendum, submittal, and prior response instead of a detached AI summary.
60-second RFI demo
Plans in. Question asked. Cited answer inspected.
Demo flow: add the plan set and specs, ask an anchor-condition RFI, inspect the sheet and specification citations, then export the draft for the project management system.
Input
Plans, specs, addenda, submittals, and RFI archive.
Ask
Can this field condition be installed as drawn?
Output
Draft answer with sheet, detail, spec, and source excerpt.
Transcript pending until the construction RFI walkthrough is uploaded.
Capabilities
Four jobs for cited construction answers.
Spec vs drawing conflict checks
Ask where a detail conflicts with the specification and get the relevant sheet, section, and exact source excerpt.
Addenda and prior RFI recall
Pull prior responses, revision notes, and addendum language into the answer so the team does not re-litigate a solved issue.
Local-first project vaults
Keep each project workspace scoped to its corpus. Use BYO LLM where the team needs model choice and data-boundary control.
Typical workflows
Construction questions that need source discipline.
01
Subcontractor RFI triage
Add the field question, search the plan/spec set, identify missing context, and produce a draft with citations.
02
Design conflict review
Compare drawing details against the spec section, addenda, and prior clarification history before escalating.
03
Submittal and closeout support
Ask whether a submittal matches project requirements and keep the source file, section, and decision path attached.

Builder fits an individual project manager or small contractor. Pro adds credits and API access for repeated project review. Elite supports construction teams that need rollout planning, governance, and white-glove onboarding.
Trust and FAQ
Project answers need plain evidence boundaries.
Does Leapable replace Procore or Autodesk Build?
No. Leapable drafts and verifies source-cited answers. Your project management system remains the system of record for official RFI routing and approval.
Can it cite sheet numbers and spec sections?
Yes. Ask from the project vault and inspect the cited sheet, detail, spec section, and source excerpt before sending anything.
What does local-first mean for a project team?
The project vault is controlled by the user's machine or approved storage path. Cloud services are explicit, and BYO LLM lets the team choose its model boundary.
What files can the team add?
Leapable supports 21 file types, including PDF plans/specs, Office docs, spreadsheets, images, CSV, Markdown, HTML, and text.
