Hi Summer - is the cabinetry being permanently installed or is movable furniture? If it is permanent installed casework, I think it would be included in the MRc4 calcs, and it wouldn't matter whether it was finished on-site or off-site. SinceMRc4 can include rough carpentry such as framing and blocking, as well as finish carpentry such as trim, baseboards, flooring, cabinets, countertops, wall panels, ceiling panels, etc, I think anything in divisions 2 - 10 that is permanently installed and not easily moved would fall under MRc4 and not under furniture.

I have a furnished and installed cabinet price of $260,000 of which the material cost of the cabinets are $127,079. The vendor has supplied me with recycled content cut sheets for actual material in the cabinet assembly amounting to $30,000 which is 100% recycled. Do I include the recycled content on the $30,000 or can I use the assembled cabinet price at $127,079.

If I'm reading your question correctly you seem to be over complicating things. Your vendor told told you that you have $30,000 of recycled content VALUE for your cabinets. You'll add that 30k to the other materials and submit. No additional math needed. That said you have cabinet with a total of 23.6% recycled content (30,000 / 127,079 = .236 or 23.6%). But all the calculations are to get to a total recycled content value which you supplier gave you directly.
