Producer statements give authorities confidence that building work will be or has been constructed to meet the Building Code and approved consent requirements.
Producer statements
Engineers use producer statement documents to:
- Confirm their professional opinion that aspects of a building’s design comply with the Building Code, or
- Confirm that elements of construction have been completed in accordance with the approved building consent
There are three kinds of producer statements you can use to provide verification at different stages in the design and construction process:
Online producer statements
The revised producer statements will significantly improve engineers' and consenting authorities' quality assurance and administrative processes. The documents are hosted online, which means real-time updates, cross-population of fields and greater consistency nationwide.
