I have not come across this situation before, but the Carpet for our entire building has already been purchased by the Owner. The way I read MRc5, we should not count this material towards the Total Material Cost since the GC is not purchasing the carpet, (same thing on the windows). Thoughts?

Jessica, I would include it. The key point isn't who bought a material, but was it in the project budget and scope, and it sounds here like it is.

It's not part of the project budget (will clarify w/ the GC). I think the GC is only including a installation fee for the carpet. Should we still include?

Jessica, I don't think I'm fully understanding the situation. Does the scope of the NC project involve installing a new carpet and windows? If so, then it seems as though purchase of that carpet is relevant to LEED compliance.
