Explanation
Issuing an RFI (Request for Information) to the General/Prime Contractor is the formal, documented process for resolving coordination issues between ICT work and other trades, because the GC/Prime is legally responsible for managing all subcontractors and trade sequencing on a job site. A is wrong because job site supervisors lack the authority to formally direct other trade contractors or modify work scope. C is wrong because texting or calling is informal and creates no paper trail - verbal communication has no legal standing in construction disputes. D is wrong because a Change Order is used to modify contract scope, cost, or schedule, not to request coordination or clarification.
Memory tip: Think "RFI = Request For Information" - when you need answers or coordination before work proceeds, you request information through the proper chain. Change Orders come after decisions are made; RFIs help you make the decision in the first place.
