Sub-Contractor Request for Information
The Sub-Contractor RFI document allows a Sub-Contractor to issue a question to the General Contractor. If the General Contractor can answer the question, they will return the Sub-Contractor RFI to the Sub-Contractor. If, however, the General Contractor cannot answer the question, the Sub-Contractor RFI document can be used to generate an RFI to submit to the requested Sub-Consultant disciplines for a response.

Sub-Contractor Request for Change
A Sub-Contractor can issue a Sub-Contractor Request for Change to the General Contractor. Once submitted, the General Contractor has the ability to use the Sub-Contractor Request for Change document to create a CRX.
A Sub-Contractor can only access (view/pdf) their own Sub-Contractor Request for Changes.

CRX
A CRX is the mechanism used by the General Contractor to request pricing from a Sub-Contractor. If pricing is requested, the Sub-Contractor will utilize the Sub-Contractor Quotation to submit pricing. If the General Contractor deems the pricing acceptable, the CRX can be used to generate a Unsolicited Change Request or initiate a Sub-Contractor Change Order.
A Sub-Contractor can only access (view/pdf) their own Sub-Contractor Quotations and must have a Trade identified in either their Preferences or within the Project to be able to provide pricing on a CRX.

Sub-Contractor Change Order
A Sub-Contractor Change Order, initiated from the Sub-Contractor Quotation on a CRX, allows a General Contractor to issue and the Sub-Contractor to Acknowledge it.
A Sub-Contractor can only access (view/pdf) their own Sub-Contractor Change Orders.
