I just inherited a project after the initial design (already approved) and initial construction credits were submitted. The construction submittals included more product data than required for MRc4 (98%) and MRc5 (54%). In the construction review, all of the product data provided was carefully reviewed and some of the product generated requests for clarification. These were all valid concerns and I agree with all the comments generated. At this point, can I delete the suspect data if I can not get the required information from our subs or manufacturer...and just re-submit using only 20% of the supporting data as required?

Once a reviewer comments on something, you have to respond in some manner. In this case, for each product submittal that is questioned you can either: revise the information and submit for re-review, or you can withdrawal the information and accept a 0% for the items that were questioned, since you couldn't provide the required info. Depending on what your overall goals for the these credits were (20%, 30% for recycle/regional/etc.) may help you decide what is worth fighting for and what is worth letting go.
This is a perfect example of why you shouldn't give more information than is required. Unfortunately you didn't set up the scenario, but you are stuck dealing with it. If you have any follow up questions, let us know! I hope this helped.

Thanks Renee, that did help. It will probably help someone else as well.
