Hi,
My project is under construction, but just structural work (finalizing substructure and launching superstructure). It is long way to furnishing and MEP work onsite. I have read several sample reports and it seems people start implementing and verifying the plan with photo after structural work is finished. Is that right? so is it true that I will do monthly photo reports for this credit only when MEP contractor and furnishing start off?
Thank you for your advice

The most important thing to photograph for this credit is the moisture protection of absorptive materials that will ultimately be installed inside the weatherproofing of the building. As soon as you have those type of materials on site you should be both protecting them and documenting that you are with photographs.

I know you posted in IEQc3.1 but the other area that needs to be photographed on a regular basis is SSp1. That documentation should have started when construction started.

Michelle/Susan,
Are photographs compulsory to achieve these credits (IEQc3 or SSp1)?
I see on leedonline there are options of providing a narrative or checklists also without needing photographs!

Yes both credits offer other options, but I like to have the pictures just to be safe, since you can't re-create them later.

Exactly. They are often the only way to prove you've done something or that the contractor fulfilled their responsibilities.
