Philippines-only hiring guide ·
An RFI register routine for a small architecture studio
A daily way to log incoming project questions without letting an assistant interpret drawings or issue design direction.
Direct answer
An architecture studio receives requests for information by email, project portals, and meeting notes. A question can look answered in one place while the official response is still open elsewhere. A Philippines-based remote assistant can make the next review less messy by preparing one dated record. the project architect still decides what the facts mean and what the business will do.
The working row should contain project number, RFI number, exact question, sender, received time, drawing reference supplied by the sender, current status, and architect owner. Preserve the sender's wording where nuance matters. Link to the approved source instead of pasting private material into a broad channel.

Key takeaways
- Use one dated architecture RFI assistant queue.
- Keep the source beside every material field.
- Route decisions to the project architect.
- Stop before interpreting a drawing, choosing a specification, or describing a draft as issued.
Start with the real inbox

Put one blunt stop rule beside the template: the assistant must pause before interpreting a drawing, choosing a specification, or describing a draft as issued. A useful exception note names the affected item, the last source checked, the unanswered question, and the person who owns the answer.
Build a record someone else can check

Preserve the sender's wording where nuance matters. Link to the approved source instead of pasting private material into a broad channel.
Run this check at the morning inbox review and once before the studio closes. Mark the cutoff with a time zone. New information that arrives later belongs in the next pass unless the named owner asks for a documented update.
Make the stopping point obvious
Put one blunt stop rule beside the template: the assistant must pause before interpreting a drawing, choosing a specification, or describing a draft as issued. A useful exception note names the affected item, the last source checked, the unanswered question, and the person who owns the answer.
Give the assistant only the folders, views, and fields needed for this queue. Keep recovery credentials, exports, deletion, payment, public messages, and permission changes with the account owner. Review access when the task changes.

Key stats and a 30-day scorecard
These are planning examples, not terms, results, or industry statistics. Change each number to match the role, risk, and review time in your business.
Choose a daily cutoff
Run this check at the morning inbox review and once before the studio closes. Mark the cutoff with a time zone. New information that arrives later belongs in the next pass unless the named owner asks for a documented update.
Check the first batch line by line. Include an ordinary record, an incomplete one, and one that reaches the stop rule. Note why anything came back. A correction such as "use the latest numbered attachment" is more useful than "be careful."
Keep access proportional
Give the assistant only the folders, views, and fields needed for this queue. Keep recovery credentials, exports, deletion, payment, public messages, and permission changes with the account owner. Review access when the task changes.
After a week, compare clean handoffs with returned questions and owner review time. Do not expand the lane because the tracker looks full. Expand only when the sources remain easy to trace and the exceptions reach the right person without guesswork.
Review awkward cases too
