Inquiry

For pre-occupancy flush, how does this credit apply for a home that is constructed and pre-finished off-site. The home in Unity, ME is being built with exterior panelized walls, interior wall systems, flooring systems, roof trusses and internal trim packages constructed off-site at the Bensonwoord Homes facility in Walpole, NH. All of the construction systems will be pre-finished at Bensonwood before delivery and assembly in Unity. All of the off gassing from the pre-finished materials will have already occurred when the home is assemble in Maine and there will be no need for a pre-occupancy flush. Can the home qualify for this credit using Bensonwood\'s in-house pre-finishing protocol? If not, how can this credit be achieved?
