EBOM-2009 WEc3:Water Efficient Landscaping

What if landscaping isn't installed yet?

We are in the PP but do not have our low-water landscaping installed. A contract will be signed to install it prior to the end of the PP. Has anyone obtained the credit this way? The client's landscape architect said we could. I think that only works for LEED BD+C. Anyone out there have experience with this? Thank you.

Is the design complete? If so and if the contract gets signed to do the work during the performance period, I could see GBCI considering this approach but I haven't seen this type of strategy approved in the past. If the installation timeline is relatively short like less than 3 or 4 months, another strategy would be to submit this credit during the final review phase. I think that approach would have a better chance of success.
