Construction documents · Idaho
Idaho review routing depends on the building’s use and delivery method as well as its address. Record any state-agency occupancy or modular construction early so the correct reviewers and reference packages are included.
Your codes, connected to your drawings
We read the state and local codes and amendments that governments publish online, the way a human reviewer does. Our AI opens it in a web browser, goes to the section or table, and cites it in the finding with a link to the source. The model codes most states adopt, such as the International Building Code, are licensed; we use their text only where a license allows it, and you can upload a copy you’re licensed to use. We reference the section. We never copy or distribute code text.
We detect the codes your drawings cite in the code analysis, cover sheet, and general notes. Add or remove codes, and note the edition, local amendments, and project requirements.
Mark the drawings you want reviewed as Check this file. If you upload a code, such as a standard you’re licensed to use or an unpublished amendment, set it to Code and Use as reference.
Follow the linked drawing and code section, check applicability, and have the responsible professional verify the issue.

Idaho reference guide
Idaho DOPL’s FAQs say that plans for buildings occupied by a state agency require DOPL and State Fire Marshal review, including leased buildings. Ownership alone does not settle the review route.

Prepare a useful review
Use this preparation list for Groundbook alongside the official permit checklist. Name the codes that apply.
Identify state-agency occupancy, lease status, and the responsible local or state office. Include its checklist and confirmed code basis.
When applicable, supply manufacturer plans, foundations, connection details, utility interfaces, and site placement information as a coordinated reference set.
Bring review comments from each authority and the current response set. Ask the team to reconcile any conflicting direction before issuing revised documents.
Identify which files are being checked, which are references, and which revisions are superseded. Include reviewer comments and responses where they explain an unresolved decision.
Use the drawing-register templateFrom documents to decisions
Compare stated design information with the adopted code and local amendments. Verify scope, exceptions, and the source behind each potential issue.
Review code referencesLook for incomplete information and conflicting requirements before submission. Assign each verified finding to the responsible designer.
Prepare for submissionCheck relationships across drawings, schedules, specifications, and reports. Resolve the source conflict and carry the decision into the issued set.
Review the whole packageBefore you start
DOPL’s FAQ includes state-agency-occupied leased buildings in its plan-review guidance. Confirm the scope with DOPL and the State Fire Marshal, and identify any additional local approvals.
Supply the current drawing set and schedules, relevant specifications and reports, and the reviewing authority’s checklist. Identify the edition, project scope, and permit stage. We read the state and local amendments that governments publish online. The base model codes, such as the International Building Code, are licensed; we use their text only where a license allows it. You can upload a code you’re licensed to use, or an amendment that isn’t online.
No. Groundbook surfaces potential conflicts and omissions with links to source documents for professional verification. It does not issue permits, certify compliance, provide permit-expediting services, or replace the authority having jurisdiction.
Projects in more than one state
For another project's location, start with its own authority and reference list. Requirements and adopted editions can differ across state lines.
