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

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
