4. Using the Assessment Method Results form, document the following information:

i. The construction method identified from Task 2.2 for each building property.
ii. Either the Performance Solution or the Deemed-to-Satisfy Solution to be compared against in using the assessment method.
Across all the building properties, at least one Performance Solution and at least one Deemed-to-Satisfy Solution must be used as a point of compliance, i.e. all construction methods cannot be compared against Performance Solutions only or Deemed-to-Satisfy Solutions only.
iii. The assessment method applied to each construction method
iv. A brief explanation of how the assessment method was applied to each construction method
v. Whether each construction method complies with the Performance Solution or Deemed-to-Satisfy Solution
vi. A brief explanation of the compliance decision.

5. Have your supervisor review the completed Assessment Method Results form and complete the Supervisor Declaration at the end. Their signature must be handwritten.
