EziSpec – The Smart Way to Get Specifications and Producer Statements Online

Need a faster way to download Producer Statements and balustrade specifications? UNEX Systems has you covered with EziSpec, our innovative online tool designed to simplify the compliance process.

What is a PS1 and Why is it Important?

In New Zealand, a Producer Statement Design (PS1) is a crucial document that certifies a building project's compliance with the New Zealand Building Code. It's an assurance that the design meets the required safety standards and regulations, offering peace of mind for specifiers, councils, and building owners alike.

The Role of PS1 in Balustrade Projects

For projects involving glass and aluminium balustrades, obtaining a PS1 is essential for verifying the safety and compliance of the design. This document helps ensure the safety of occupants and expedites the council’s approval process by showing that your building work meets the necessary standards.

How UNEX Simplifies the Process

At UNEX, we make it easy to obtain PS1s for our balustrade systems. With many years of research and engineering behind each of our pre-designed configurations, our systems are rigorously tested to comply with New Zealand standards. We provide readily available PS1s for all our balustrades, making the council sign-off process quicker and more cost-effective.

Introducing EziSpec – A Smarter Way to Get Your PS1s

What if you’re looking for an even easier and faster way to generate a UNEX Systems PS1 and specifications? That’s where our innovative online tool, EziSpec, comes into play. Available through our technical portal, EziSpec allows you to select your desired style, top rail, and fixing type using a series of drop-down menus.

From there, you can enter key details such as client names and site addresses, and with the click of a button, EziSpec automatically compiles a single PDF containing all the necessary specifications and the Producer Statement for your project.

Site-Specific PS1s for Complex Projects

For more complex builds requiring site-specific PS1s, our engineers are ready to conduct a detailed evaluation of your handrail and balustrade design. We ensure compliance with the New Zealand Building Code, so you can rest easy knowing your project is in safe hands. While generic PS1s are often sufficient, we also provide bespoke, site-specific solutions tailored to your project’s unique needs (additional fees apply).
