Producer statements

We may accept a producer statement from a council-approved expert as evidence that their design or building work complies, or will comply, with the Building Code.

We must only issue a building consent or a code compliance certificate if we are satisfied on reasonable grounds that your building work complies or will comply with the Building Code and a producer statement is one way of helping us decide.

Examples of work where a producer statement might be submitted are:

an engineer may provide a statement relating to foundations
a mechanical engineer may provide a statement relating to heating ventilation and air-conditioning systems.

In order to submit producer statements to us, the specialist must first be registered as an approved producer statement author on our register.
