Construction documents · New Mexico
A New Mexico review benefits from a discipline-by-discipline reference list. Identify the Construction Industries Division or local review route, then distinguish the building package from separate trade-permit documents.
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.
Select the applicable NMAC building reference and incorporated model code for the construction scope.
Bring the applicable energy reference and supporting project documents; use the separate residential energy reference where appropriate.
Code names link to official agency or publisher resources. Reviewed September 9, 2026. The reference set comes from the files you supply.
New Mexico reference guide
CID’s electronic-plan-review page lists New Mexico adopted building and energy codes and separate earthen-material and baled-straw construction provisions. Use the applicable NMAC rules with the model references for the project’s construction method.

Prepare a useful review
Use this preparation list for Groundbook alongside the official permit checklist.
Supply the confirmed reviewing office, applicable NMAC code provisions, amendments, and current intake checklist.
Where earthen or other specialty construction is proposed, include the selected reference rules, assembly details, structural information, and specifications.
Bring the building set, energy documents, equipment schedules, and trade layouts. Identify separately permitted work and check its interfaces with the architectural and structural design.
Identify which files are being checked, which are references, and which revisions are superseded.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
RLD lists building plan review and trade permits separately. Confirm each required submission and include the relevant discipline documents in Groundbook when you want their interfaces checked together.
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.
