Currently I am working on a project registered under v2.3. My question is related with TOTAL MATERIAL COST for PRE-CAST CONCRETE COMPONENTS in MR credit 4 & 5.
What should Manufacture/vender use as total material cost for Precast sub-components? Does Manufacture/vender need to include all cost incurred in the fabrication due to the precast being fabricated off-site? Is total material cost same as entire purchase order issued to manufacture/vender for the Precast sub-components?
Thank you in advance for any clarification you can provide.

Yes, the cost is for the material delivered to the site, including off-site labor during fabrication.

How do we calculate cost for precast panels that are cast on site?

Nilo - I think of precast as being cast at a plant. Maybe you would calculate the cost the same as cast-in-place concrete but I'm not sure what you are asking, so feel free to clarify your specific question(s).

This sounds like "tilt-up" precast concrete construction, where concrete wall panels, poured on floor slabs or on the ground adjacent to the building, are then lifted into place. Michelle, I think that you are right--treat it just like cast-in-place concrete.

Jonathan - Thanks for chiming in on this. My subject line includes the question of tilt-up but that may not be visible to us in this forum.
Nilo - Is the subcontractor providing the precast giving you a price for their materials? That might be the cost info you should use.
