Custom remodels in The Ridges
The Ridges sits inside Summerlin, which means Summerlin’s design review applies and the sub-association adds its own on top. Work visible from a street or a neighboring lot answers to both, and they do not review on the same schedule.
Two committees,
not one.
Guard-gated changes the logistics, not the scope
Access is staffed. Trade vehicles get registered, deliveries get routed, construction hours are set, and on-street parking is limited or refused outright.
None of that is difficult once it is planned. It is expensive when it is not: a delivery turned away at the gate is a restocking charge and a day of the schedule, and the crew standing beside it still bills.
Design review, twice
Elevations, materials, color, roof line, walls, hardscape and lighting all get looked at. Two bodies looking at the same drawings can return different comments, and reconciling them after the fact means a second submittal.
We submit to both while the building permit is in plan check rather than after, and we ask the sub-association what it has rejected recently. That question saves more time than any other one we ask.
Elevation and the ground under it
Much of The Ridges is graded ground with retaining already in place from the original development. A new pool, a lower-level room or a deeper footing meets both that retaining and the caliche under it.
Get a geotechnical report and a grading plan before the floor plan is settled. Drawn the other way round, they get drawn twice.
What this covers.
- 01Summerlin and sub-association design review, submitted in parallel
- 02Gate registration, delivery routing and construction hours
- 03Geotechnical and grading review before design closes
- 04Existing retaining assessed before any excavation
- 05Plaster texture matched at new-to-old junctions
- 06City of Las Vegas or Clark County permitting, by parcel
What The Ridges owners
ask first.
Do I need approval from two committees?
Yes, if the work is visible from a street or a neighboring lot. Summerlin design review applies because The Ridges sits inside Summerlin, and the sub-association adds its own on top. They do not review on the same schedule, and two bodies reading the same drawings can return different comments.
Does the guard gate slow the job down?
Only if nobody planned for it. Trade vehicles get registered, deliveries get routed, construction hours are set and on-street parking is limited. NeXGen arranges that in advance, because a delivery turned away at the gate costs a restocking charge and a day of schedule while the crew beside it still bills.
Can I put in a pool or a lower-level room?
Often, and the answer comes from the ground rather than the plan. Much of The Ridges is graded lots with retaining already in place from the original development, so a pool or a deeper footing meets that retaining and the caliche under it. Get a geotechnical report and a grading plan before the floor plan is settled.
Which authority issues the permit?
It depends on your lot. Summerlin straddles the boundary between the City of Las Vegas and unincorporated Clark County with no rule of thumb that holds, so NeXGen confirms it from your parcel number before anything is drawn.
