Construction Administration FAQs
Straight answers about RFIs, submittals, punch lists and field documentation in INGENIOUS.BUILD.
What is construction administration software?
Construction administration software manages the documents and approvals that carry a project from design through construction to closeout, including RFIs, submittals, drawings, inspections, daily reports and punch lists. INGENIOUS.BUILD keeps them in one record shared by every party and connected to the project's budget and schedule.
Can I manage RFIs, submittals and punch items in one place?
Yes. INGENIOUS.BUILD centralizes RFIs, submittals, punch items and more in one construction administration module, so teams can track status, manage workflows and speed up approvals.
How does AI help with RFIs and submittals?
AI drafts RFIs from field issues with the relevant sheet and spec linked, and your team approves each one before it is sent. Submittal logs are generated by scanning the spec manual. Through native MCP, AI agents can also work on live project data.
Can I see the cost impact of an RFI?
Yes. RFIs link to Project Financials, so cost impact is flagged early and visible against the budget, schedule milestones and related tasks.
Does INGENIOUS.BUILD track approvals and revision history?
Yes. Document approvals, version control and full revision history are tracked, so every party works from the latest drawings and every decision has an audit trail.
Who uses construction administration software?
Every party on the project, from owner to trade, works in the same record with role-based access, so each sees what they need and nothing they shouldn't.
General contractorsArchitects & engineersOwners & developersOwner's repsSpecialty trades
Does it work on mobile in the field?
Yes. The iOS and Android apps let field teams manage RFIs, upload site photos, create and review punch items, submit reports and stay connected to construction administration workflows from anywhere on site.
How does INGENIOUS.BUILD compare to Procore and Autodesk?
INGENIOUS.BUILD connects every stakeholder, owner to trade, on one platform from pre-con to closeout. Procore's cost scales with your annual construction volume, and each company works in its own siloed account; INGENIOUS uses transparent, per-user based pricing with unlimited projects and free external collaborators. Unlike Autodesk's point tools, it is purpose-built for end-to-end construction workflows.
How long does it take to get up and running?
Simple setups can be live in under an hour. For larger organizations or custom configurations, most teams are fully onboarded within a few weeks, not months.
