Pulling permits in Nevada: the license you actually need
Nevada won't let you sign a bathroom remodeling contract without a B General Building Contractor License (or applicable C-class), issued by the Nevada State Contractors Board (NSCB). Subbing under a licensed GC is one workaround, but on direct-to-owner jobs the homeowner can void the contract if you don't hold the card.

Stuff Las Vegas bathroom remodelers ask before they sign up
Does this respect NV code, or do I have to re-cut every quantity?
The takeoff doesn't pull a permit for you — that's still on whoever holds the B General Building Contractor License (or applicable C-class) — but the assemblies match what NV inspectors look for.
How do you handle tile calculations for walls and floors?
The model reads the plan once, counts symbols against your assembly library, and surfaces the count for review. You override anything that looks off before it hits the quote. For hospitality work in Las Vegas, the typical correction is one or two assemblies — not redoing the whole thing.
What about site conditions?
Build the local condition into your assembly defaults once, and it carries forward to every Las Vegas bid afterward.
Anything else specific to Nevada?
