First of all, if you're in construction, the idea is to produce plans that are clear enough that you don't get RFIs.

In that field, usually there is a standard reply, or a reply by date on the form (usually an unresonable one, but there is a date).  I've seen most engineers use a spreadsheet to track arrival date and departure date.

structural engineer - gostructural.com and Modern steel construction both have discussed RFIs in the past.
