Hello Stella, No it will not affect your LEED certification. You can submit your LEED documentation during a combined review (Design + Construction documents). You can change this process under timeline in LEEDonline. Hope that helps.

Thanks Markus, but do you mean that we cannot do a seperate design and seperate construction submission?in two phases?

Stella, You can submit a split review, but makes that sense if the project is nearly completed. Please note the review times. 5 weeks for the preliminary review by GBCI – than your time to reply to the comments, may be two weeks- and then the final design review by GBCI 4-5 weeks. Round about 3 month. For the construction Review the same review times. If you submit a combined review you will only have this once and save a few review fee.

Yes i agree with you. But the clients are insisting that we go for a split review,so i would like to know if we could still apply for a split review,as the building is almost completed?

You still can do this. There is no deadline like for LEED EBOM projects after the performance period.
