Construction documents · Nevada
For Nevada, establish whether the project is under a city or county building department or State Public Works. The state-owned-land review program is a specific jurisdiction, not a universal submission route for private projects.
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 If you upload a code, such as a standard you’re licensed to use or an unpublished amendment, set it to Code and Use as reference.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.
State and local references
Examples of codes that can apply in Nevada. Confirm the adopted edition, effective date, and project scope with the reviewing authority.
Local example: use the county’s adopted edition for work under Clark County’s building authority.
Use the applicable Clark County amendment package with its model codes. Confirm the separate local adoption for another Nevada jurisdiction.
Code names link to official agency or publisher resources. Reviewed September 9, 2026. We detect the codes your drawings cite, and you can add or remove codes.

Prepare a useful review
Use this preparation list for Groundbook alongside the official permit checklist. Name the codes that apply.
Record ownership or state-property status, the responsible office, adopted references, and the receiving department’s checklist.
Identify deferred systems, required approvals, and the current scope of each package. Include the relevant State Public Works form when that program applies.
Bring geotechnical and civil information, structural design criteria, envelope details, energy documents, and MEP schedules. Ask reviewers to compare shared assumptions.
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
First confirm jurisdiction. The division describes a state-property program; private projects generally need the applicable local authority’s requirements and any separate agency approvals for their scope.
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.
