Types of 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
- that elements of construction have been completed in accordance with the approved building consent.
There are 3 kinds of Producer Statements you can use to provide verification at different stages in the design and construction process.
- PS1 – design
- PS2 – design review
- PS4 – construction review

Construction monitoring services
Construction monitoring is an independent verification provided by an engineer to a client. It confirms that construction has been completed according to the building consent. Engineers are required to recommend the most appropriate level for the work and then carry out the agreed monitoring levels.
