Application | RFIs

Objective Build notifies you when an RFI is issued by the authority processing your application. Use the application RFIs tab to view and respond to RFIs.

The Request for further information section is accessed from the overview page of an application or consent. To open the overview page, select an application or consent listed on your Dashboard, Applications or Consents pages.

Round - The processing authority (BCA or TA) may issue one or more requests for information (RFIs). The RFIs issued by each processing team, such as your BCA's planning team or building consent team, are grouped together. A group of RFI points is called a Round.
RFI - Each round may contain one or more RFI points. It is good practice for the processing authority to make each RFI question specific to a single point. This makes it easier for you and authority staff to respond to and sign off each point.

Tools and options

	During the Lodgement stage only, the application is open for edit and resubmission if you need to make changes to resolve an RFI.
	Submit is greyed out until you have saved responses against every RFI in the round. You must respond to every RFI point in the round before you can submit your responses. This allows authority staff to complete their work more efficiently.
	Open the Response to RFI dialog to view the full request and to input your response. Optionally you can attach a document.
