Celebrating Over 75 Years of Serving Nevada’s Legal, Business, Government, and Civic Communities

Q&A Guide to Construction Laws in Nevada 2026

Nevada Construction Laws and Customs is a Practical Law publication from Thomson Reuters that is updated annually by Phil Mannelly, Chair of our Construction Law & Litigation Practice Group. It is a Q&A guide to construction projects in Nevada that addresses state laws and customs relating to public and private construction projects, including prompt payment laws, retainage, project delivery systems, contract forms and commonly negotiated terms, warranties, and licensing requirements for construction professionals. The Nevada Guide also addresses payment and performance bonds, “Little Miller Act” statutes, construction statutes of limitation and repose, pleading requirements, and the enforceability of specific clauses such as liquidated damages, limitations of liability, and no-damages-for-delay.

Phil’s Nevada Q&A Guide 2026 is available as a PDF here.
