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
Groundbook can review your drawings against the state and local code PDFs you upload. Add the adopted code books and amendments that apply to your project, then review potential issues with links to the supporting sources.
Upload the applicable code PDFs alongside the drawing set. Include the edition, local amendments, and project requirements.
Set code PDFs to Code and Use as reference. Mark the drawings you want reviewed as Check this file.
Follow the linked drawing and reference, 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.
Idaho DOPL: building FAQsThe same guidance places construction performed at the modular manufacturer under DOPL jurisdiction. Confirm local site and installation requirements and use the applicable plan-review guidance for each part of the project.

Prepare a useful review
Use this preparation list for Groundbook alongside the official permit checklist.
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Identify which files are being checked, which are references, and which revisions are superseded.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 code and local references you supply. 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, the applicable code and amendment PDFs, and the reviewing authority’s checklist. Identify the edition, project scope, and permit stage. Groundbook reviews the supplied evidence; do not assume every local requirement is already available.
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.
