If the fixtures are part of the project scope, then they should be included in the water use calculations. Are they part of the design and just delayed in installation?

Yes, the fixtures are delayed on install. So the question is whether move-in and use of existing standard fixtures would affect the calculations.

Hello,
I don't have a clear picture on this yet so maybe someone can help! Let me clarify the situation. Move-in has already occurred, but the project has not yet submitted. Certain plumbing fixtures have not been renovated and now there is an interest in doing so.
Is it still possible to renovate these fixtures and include the new flow rates in the calculations as you would normally? Thanks!
