From what you say, it sounds like the wood shoring may pre-exist your project? If so, I don't think you need to include it in your budget for FSC wood. It would be like reusing an existing building with wood in it—not necessary to have FSC certification there.

I'm assuming, from your response, Tristan, that if the shoring is part of the project and then remains on site, it DOES need to be included in the FSC documentation. Is that correct? In our case, it may kill our FSC budget also...

Alexandra, the credit language says to include wood components "permanently installed on the site." Based on this I think permanent wood shoring would be included.
