NC-2009 MRc4: Recycled Content
If we will be using the 45% default for the Construction Cost, How do I determine the Construction Cost? Is it the Constact Amount Value Less the Electrical,Mechanical,Eqpt,Specialty Eqpt. costs? then the amount to multiply by 45% to get the default? Pls. advise.. thanks

The recycled content percentage on the product data sheet is given as a range. What should I do?
Is the default average recycled content value of 25% for steel still allowed?
Can site materials, such as soil, be included in the MR credit calculations?
Are there recycled content claims that I should be wary of?

We just started construction. Will that mean we will have to obtain budgeted cost of item per item divisions? What do you mean by hard costs only? Are these hard costs cover only direct cost and will not include the indirect costs like overhead/burdens/general requirement expenses/adm.overhead/etc?
is it right to just get the contract amt. value less electrical,mechanical,equipment,specialty equipment, etc?
Please advise on the proper procedure to get the Construction Cost.Thanks
