FAQs about MRc3 :

The credit language says “Products meeting recycled content criteria are valued at 100% of their cost for the purposes of credit achievement calculation.” How much recycled content has to be in a product for 100% of its cost to count toward credit achieve

Is there any way around the requirement that no more than 30% of the materials used to meet Option 2 be structure and enclosure items?

If Sustainable Agricultural Network (SAN) certification isn’t required for agricultural products to comply with Option 2, does the manufacturer still have to provide documentation of third-party verification?

For the manufacturer “take-back” pathway under Option 2, does the extended producer responsibility program have to be run by the manufacturer?

Are there other ways the products can contribute to Option 1?

Can Corporate Sustainability Reports from the manufacturers of the products I’ve selected help me achieve the Option 1 point for “raw material source and extraction reporting?”

NC-v4 MRc3:Building product disclosure and optimization - sourcing of raw materials

what all is included in material cost

Is labor to deliver (i.e. drive time, time to unload materials, and / or shipping costs from suppliers) and / or unload materials on a job site included in the material cost? I know installation costs are not, but I cannot seem to find an answer on whether or not delivery and unloading costs can be included in the total material cost.

Hi Brianna, I would say the cost of labor to deliver products to the job site should be included in material cost. See p. 470 in the v4 BD+C reference guide... Determining Product Cost Product and materials cost includes all taxes and expenses to deliver the material to the project site incurred by the contractor but excludes any cost for labor and equipment required for installation after the material is delivered to the site.
