I am working on a project that is currently in the Construction Preliminary Review Phase. We are realizing that Gold Certification is a reality now. Is it possible to add two new credits that haven't been reviewed yet? If so, what is the process for this? Thanks.

Yes, and this is assuming that you have not submitted for your Cprelim. Depending on the version, 2.2 or v3, you will in 2.2 click on the credit you want to attempt from the scorecard, and in the credit page hit attempt and assign it. In v3, just add from the admin section and add it. If you a have already submitted you C prelim and you are waiting to submit your C final you can also submit any credit. Understand, you will only get one review. If not earned you would have to then appeal it.

We have submitted our construction prelim. We are in the process of responding to their comments and realized that there could be a few more points on the table. So there is no additional fee for adding credits after the two prelim reviews (design and construction) ? Technically they do not need to review anything else except what we resubmit for their comments or appeal.

Correct, no additional cost to add a credit for C final submission because your fees are based on square feet. Again, they will review the new credits once and they will either earned or denied. If denied you will need to pay for an appeal to earn them.
