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
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.
State and local references
Examples of references you can bring into Groundbook. Confirm the adopted edition, effective date, and project scope with the reviewing authority, then upload the applicable PDFs.
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. The reference set comes from the files you supply.

Prepare a useful review
Use this preparation list for Groundbook alongside the official permit checklist.
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Identify which files are being checked, which are references, and which revisions are superseded.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 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
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, 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.
