Follow up with the right information

Use the reference

Keep the official submission or application reference with the project record. Include it when communicating through approved channels.

Ask a defined question

Separate status questions from changes in scope or document corrections. State what decision or information you need next.

Record the response

Log the date, responsible office, next action, and any requested documents. Keep written guidance with the project materials.

Confirm before acting

Do not treat an enquiry receipt as permission to begin work. Verify the actual approval and any conditions with the responsible authority.

Keep the conversation grounded.
