Is there a point in the process after which new projects cannot participate in LEED for Homes?

Ruling

No project can earn LEED for Homes without meeting all of the prerequisites and having them all third-party verified. Also, credits may not be awarded unless all of the requirements have been verified.It\'s essentially impossible to verify everything without a predrywall inspection, so this effectively prevents projects from participating in the program after that stage. Exceptions can be made in cases where a home has gone through third-party verification for some other green homebuilding program and there is sufficient documentation, but these cases are rare and approved case-by-case. In cases like this, submit a short explanation of the situation, including why you think the project could effectively navigate the requirements of LEED for Homes despite the late entry.
