Construction & Remodeling in Las Vegas, NV

About half of Las Vegas homes were built between 1990 and 2009, most are single-family detached, and the city has two locally designated historic districts. Planning here centers on city permit rules, summer heat, monsoon storms and valley soils.

What shapes a project in Las Vegas

Local conditions worth knowing before scope and budget are set.

  1. Mostly 1990s and 2000s housing

    Census estimates put the median year built in Las Vegas at 1994, with about half of homes built between 1990 and 2009. About 62 percent of units are single-family detached homes, and about 23 percent are in buildings with five or more units.

  2. Historic districts need extra review

    The city names John S. Park and Beverly Green as locally designated historic districts. Projects that alter a property on the Las Vegas Historic Property Register or inside a district must follow set procedures under Title 19.10.150 of the city code, and the city provides a Certificate of Appropriateness application.

  3. Soils vary across the valley

    Clark County's expansive soil map rates Las Vegas Valley soils from none-to-low up to critical, and marks moderate, high and critical areas for special geotechnical consideration. The map notes that conditions at a single site can vary a lot.
