NC-v4 EQc2: Low emitting materials
All,
I am having trouble gathering the exact amount of paint used on the project I am working on. What is your best advice for entering the volume of paints used?

Samantha, I typically request that subcontractors provide a reasonable estimate of the amount of gallons of each paint used, then I convert those values into liters.

Hi Samantha,
I have been tracking my estimated paint used based on the estimated cost. The sub-trades or suppliers are able to provide a $/L for all materials and your estimated volume should be related to estimated costs.
