Does the demolition of an existing building have to be included in the Construction Waste management Plan if it is part of an early Site package which is happening about 8 months before the construction of a new building. The problem with including the demolition is how to coordinate between a demolition contractor and the general trades contractor who will not bid the job until long after demolition is complete. For instance, who should sign the signature box on the LEED form? Also, if the demolition contractor goes by weight, does that prevent the general trades contractor from going by volume? Or should we just use an alternative compliance path?

Two contractors - I have the same issue, sent in a help request, and got some clarification.
I suggested having the second contractor provide a letter on company letterhead, using the same wording on the template (info reviewed, is accurate to best of my knowledge, etc) and provide it as documentation for Special Circumstances. USGBC LEED Customer Service felt it was a reasonable doccumentation approach.
