Construction documents · New Hampshire
A New Hampshire reference set should identify the state-adopted editions and the status of local amendments. Keep the legal adoption record alongside the model codes rather than relying on an undated municipal summary.
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 If you upload a code, such as a standard you’re licensed to use or an unpublished amendment, set it to Code and Use as reference.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.

New Hampshire reference guide
RSA 155-A defines the New Hampshire Building Code through specific model-code editions and approved amendments. The editions differ by discipline, so record each reference used for the project.
New Hampshire General Court: RSA 155-AThe same chapter addresses local amendments, enforcement, and the Building Code Review Board. Obtain the operative local ordinance and confirmation of the required review or filing status before treating a local change as governing.
New Hampshire General Court: RSA 155-ASources reviewed September 9, 2026. Confirm current requirements and project applicability with the reviewing authority.
Prepare a useful review
Use this preparation list for Groundbook alongside the official permit checklist. Name the codes that apply.
State the applicable RSA 155-A version, adopted editions, and amendments, and supply the permit’s code-basis confirmation.
Include the local enforcement provisions, amendment record, and current permit checklist. Identify any unresolved question about an amendment’s status.
Bring the building code analysis, energy documentation, MEP references, drawings, and schedules. Check that different discipline editions are accurately identified.
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
No. RSA 155-A lists specific editions by code. Record each applicable reference and amendment individually, and confirm the project’s local enforcement requirements.
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.
