Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for reporting of interim financial information. Pursuant to such rules and regulations, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations of the Company as of the dates and for the periods presented. Accordingly, these statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2023 (the “2023 Form 10-K”). The results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future interim period or for the full 2024 fiscal year. Performance Obligations To determine the proper revenue recognition method, the Company evaluates whether two or more contracts should be combined and accounted for as one single contract and whether the combined or single contract should be accounted for as more than one performance obligation. The majority of the Company's contracts have a single performance obligation as the promise to transfer the individual goods or services that is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and therefore, is not distinct. The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied as work progresses or at a point in time. Revenue on the Company's cost-reimbursable contracts is recognized over time using direct costs incurred or direct costs incurred to date as compared to the estimated total direct costs for performance obligations because it depicts the transfer of control to the customer. Contract costs include labor, sub-consultant services, and other direct costs. Gross revenue from services transferred to customers at a point in time is recognized when the customer obtains control of the asset, which is generally upon delivery and acceptance by the customer of the reports and/or analysis performed. As of June 29, 2024, the Company had $980,802 of remaining performance obligations, of which $743,872 is expected to be recognized over the next 12 months and the majority of the balance over the next 24 months. Contracts for which work authorizations have been received are included in performance obligations. Performance obligations include only those amounts that have been funded and authorized and does not reflect the full amounts the Company may receive over the term of such contracts. In the case of non-government contracts and project awards, performance obligations include future revenue at contract or customary rates, excluding contract renewals or extensions that are at the discretion of the client. For contracts with a not-to-exceed maximum amount, the Company includes revenue from such contracts in performance obligations to the extent of the remaining estimated amount. Contract Balances The timing of revenue recognition, billings, and cash collections results in billed receivables, unbilled receivables (contract assets), and billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts (contract liabilities) on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The liability “Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts” represents billings in excess of revenues recognized on these contracts as of the reporting date. This liability is generally classified as current. During the three and six months ended June 29, 2024 the Company performed services and recognized $8,692 and $31,108, respectively, of revenue related to its contract liabilities that existed as of December 30, 2023. Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill is the excess of consideration paid for an acquired entity over the amounts assigned to assets acquired, including other identifiable intangible assets and liabilities assumed in a business combination. To determine the amount of goodwill resulting from a business combination, the Company performs an assessment to determine the acquisition date fair value of the acquired company’s tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities. Goodwill is required to be evaluated for impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the asset may be impaired. An entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. These qualitative factors include macroeconomic and industry conditions, cost factors, overall financial performance, and other relevant entity-specific events. If the entity determines that this threshold is met, then the Company applies a one-step quantitative test and record the amount of goodwill impairment as the excess of a reporting unit's carrying amount over its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The Company determines fair value through multiple valuation techniques, and weights the results accordingly. Subjective and complex judgments are required in assessing whether an event of impairment of goodwill has occurred, including assumptions and estimates used to determine the fair value of its reporting units. The Company has elected to perform its annual goodwill impairment review as of August 1 of each year. The Company conducts its annual impairment tests on the goodwill using the quantitative method of evaluating goodwill. As of August 1, 2023, the Company conducted its annual impairment tests using the quantitative method of evaluating goodwill. Based on the quantitative analyses the Company determined the fair value of each of the reporting units exceeded its carrying value. Therefore, the goodwill was not impaired and the Company did not recognize an impairment charge relating to goodwill as of August 1, 2023. Furthermore, there were no indicators, events, or changes in circumstances that would indicate goodwill was impaired during the period from August 2, 2023 through June 29, 2024. Identifiable intangible assets primarily include customer backlog, customer relationships, trade names, non-compete agreements, and developed technology. Amortizable intangible assets are amortized on either a straight-line or sum-of-the-years' digits basis over their estimated useful lives and reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired. If an indicator of impairment exists, the Company compares the estimated future cash flows of the asset, on an undiscounted basis, to the carrying value of the asset. If the undiscounted cash flows exceed the carrying value, no impairment is indicated. If the undiscounted cash flows do not exceed the carrying value, then impairment, if any, is measured as the difference between fair value and carrying value, with fair value typically based on a discounted cash flow model. There were no indicators, events, or changes in circumstances that would indicate intangible assets were impaired during the six months ended June 29, 2024. See Note 8, Goodwill and Intangible Assets , for further information on goodwill and identified intangibles.

Earnings per Share

Earnings per Share	6 Months Ended

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings per Share	Earnings per Share Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding unvested restricted shares. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company. The effect of potentially dilutive securities is not considered during periods of loss or if the effect is anti-dilutive. The weighted average number of shares outstanding in calculating basic earnings per share for the six months ended June 29, 2024 and July 1, 2023 exclude 732,856 and 688,377 non-vested restricted shares, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 29, 2024 there were 9,355 and 5,833 weighted average securities, respectively, which are not included in the calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding because their impact is anti-dilutive or their performance conditions have not been met. During the three and six months ended July 1, 2023, there were 111,584 and 41,536 weighted average securities, respectively, which are not included in the calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding because their impact is anti-dilutive or their performance conditions have not been met. The following table represents a reconciliation of the net income and weighted average shares outstanding for the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 29, 2024 July 1, 2023 June 29, 2024 July 1, 2023 Numerator: Net income – basic and diluted $ 7,907 $ 15,413 $ 8,315 $ 21,360 Denominator: Basic weighted average shares outstanding 15,362,825 15,014,106 15,314,988 14,948,796 Effect of dilutive non-vested restricted shares and units 284,166 413,856 317,026 447,546 Effect of issuable shares related to acquisitions 24,185 23,826 25,618 25,193 Diluted weighted average shares outstanding 15,671,176 15,451,788 15,657,632 15,421,535

The aggregate purchase price for the five acquisitions was $64,300, including $56,427 in cash, $3,534 of the Company's common stock, and potential earn-outs of up to $14,100 payable in cash, which have been recorded at an estimated fair value of $4,339. The cash portions of the purchase prices and other related costs associated with the transactions were partially financed through the Company's amended and restated credit agreement (the "Second A&R Credit Agreement" or "Senior Credit Facility") with Bank of America, N.A. and other lenders party thereto. See Note 10, Notes Payable and Other Obligations , for further detail on the Second A&R Credit Agreement. An option-based model and a probability-weighted approach were used to determine the fair value of the earn-outs, which are generally accepted valuation techniques that embody all significant assumption types. In order to determine the fair values of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the Company engaged an independent third-party valuation specialist to assist in the determination of fair values. The final determination of the fair values of assets and liabilities will be completed within the one-year measurement period as required by ASC 805. The 2024 acquisitions will necessitate the use of this measurement period to adequately analyze and assess the factors used in establishing the asset and liability fair values as of the relevant acquisition date, including intangible assets, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, deferred tax liabilities, and other certain liabilities. 2023 Acquisitions On April 6, 2023, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity interests in the Visual Information Solutions commercial geospatial technology and software business ("VIS") from L3Harris. VIS is a provider of subscription-based software solutions for the analysis and management of software applications and Analytics as a Service (AaaS) solutions. The Company acquired VIS for a cash purchase price of $75,371. The purchase price and other related costs associated with the transaction were financed through the Company's Second A&R Credit Agreement. In order to determine the fair values of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the Company engaged an independent third-party valuation specialist to assist in the determination of fair values. The final determination of the fair value of assets and liabilities was completed within the one-year measurement period as required by ASC 805. On February 22, 2023, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity interests in Continental Mapping Acquisition Corp. and its subsidiaries, including Axim Geospatial, LLC (collectively "Axim"), a provider of comprehensive geospatial services and solutions addressing critical mission requirements for customers across the defense and intelligence and state and local government sectors. The aggregate purchase price of the acquisition was $139,569, including $119,736 in cash, a $6,333 promissory note, and $13,500 of the Company's common stock. The cash portion of the purchase price and other related costs associated with the transaction were financed through the Company's Second A&R Credit Agreement. In order to determine the fair values of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the Company engaged an independent third-party valuation specialist to assist in the determination of fair values. The final determination of the fair value of assets and liabilities was completed within the one-year measurement period as required by ASC 805. The Company completed five other acquisitions during 2023. The aggregate purchase price for the five acquisitions was $9,477, including $8,000 in cash, $867 of the Company's common stock, and a potential earn-out of up to $640 payable in cash, which has been recorded at an estimated fair value of $610. A probability-weighted approach was used to determine the fair value of the earn-out, which is a generally accepted valuation technique that embodies all significant assumption types. The final determination of the fair value of assets and liabilities will be completed within the one-year measurement period as required by ASC 805. The 2023 acquisitions will necessitate the use of this measurement period to adequately analyze and assess the factors used in establishing the asset and liability fair values as of the relevant acquisition date, including intangible assets, accounts receivable, and deferred tax liabilities.

Senior Credit Facility On August 13, 2021 (the "Closing Date"), the Company amended and restated its Credit Agreement (the "Second A&R Credit Agreement" or "Senior Credit Facility"), originally dated December 7, 2016 and as amended to the Closing Date, with Bank of America, N.A. ("Bank of America"), as administrative agent, swingline lender and letter of credit issuer, the other lenders party thereto, and certain of the Company's subsidiaries as guarantors. Pursuant to the Second A&R Credit Agreement, the previously drawn term commitments of $150,000 and revolving commitments totaling $215,000 in the aggregate were converted into revolving commitments totaling $400,000 in the aggregate. These revolving commitments are available through August 13, 2026 (the "Maturity Date") and an aggregate amount of approximately $138,750 was drawn under the Second A&R Credit Amendment on the Closing Date to repay previously existing borrowings under the term and revolving facilities prior to such amendment and restatement. Borrowings under the Second A&R Credit Agreement are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company. The Second A&R Credit Agreement also includes an accordion feature permitting the Company to request an increase in the revolving facility under the Second A&R Credit Agreement by an additional amount of up to $200,000 in the aggregate. As of June 29, 2024 and December 30, 2023, the outstanding balance on the Second A&R Credit Agreement was $241,750 and $195,750, respectively. Borrowings under the Second A&R Credit Agreement bear interest at variable rates which are, at the Company's option, tied to a Eurocurrency rate equal to either Term SOFR (Secured Overnight Financing Rate) or Daily Simple SOFR, plus in each case an applicable margin or a base rate denominated in U.S. dollars. Interest rates remain subject to change based on the Company's consolidated leverage ratio. As of June 29, 2024, the Company's interest rate was 6.7%. The Second A&R Credit Agreement contains financial covenants that require NV5 Global to maintain a consolidated net leverage ratio (the ratio of the Company's pro forma consolidated net funded indebtedness to the Company's pro forma consolidated EBITDA for the most recently completed measurement period) of no greater than 4.00 to 1.00. These financial covenants also require the Company to maintain a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of no less than 1.10 to 1.00 as of the end of any measurement period. As of June 29, 2024, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants. The Second A&R Credit Agreement contains covenants that may have the effect of limiting the Company's ability to, among other things, merge with or acquire other entities, enter into a transaction resulting in a Change in Control, create certain new liens, incur certain additional indebtedness, engage in certain transactions with affiliates, or engage in new lines of business or sell a substantial part of their assets. The Second A&R Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default, including (but not limited to) a default in the payment of principal or, following an applicable grace period, interest, breaches of the Company's covenants or warranties under the Second A&R Credit Agreement, payment default or acceleration of certain indebtedness, certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation, certain judgments or uninsured losses, changes in control and certain liabilities related to ERISA based plans. The Second A&R Credit Agreement limits the payment of cash dividends (together with certain other payments that would constitute a "Restricted Payment" within the meaning of the Second A&R Credit Agreement and generally including dividends, stock repurchases and certain other payments in respect to warrants, options, and other rights to acquire equity securities), unless the Consolidated Leverage Ratio would be less than 3.25 to 1.00 and available liquidity (defined as unrestricted, domestically held cash plus revolver availability) would be at least $30,000, in each case after giving effect to such payment. Total debt issuance costs incurred and capitalized in connection with the issuance of the Second A&R Credit Agreement were $3,702. Total amortization of debt issuance costs was $185 and $370 during the three and six months ended June 29, 2024, respectively, and $171 and $365 during the three and six months ended July 1, 2023, respectively. Other Obligations The Company has aggregate obligations related to acquisitions of $11,716 and $16,491 as of June 29, 2024 and December 30, 2023, respectively.

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation In June 2023, the Company's stockholders approved the NV5 Global, Inc. 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2023 Equity Plan"). The 2023 Equity Plan provides directors, executive officers, and other employees of the Company with additional incentives by allowing them to acquire ownership interest in the business and, as a result, encouraging them to contribute to the Company’s success. The Company may provide these incentives through the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares and units, and other cash-based or stock-based awards. As of June 29, 2024, 1,808,924 shares of common stock are authorized, reserved, and registered for issuance under the 2023 Equity Plan. The restricted shares of common stock granted generally provide for service-based cliff vesting after two The following summarizes the activity of restricted stock awards during the six months ended June 29, 2024: Number of Unvested Restricted Shares of Common Stock and Restricted Stock Units Weighted Average December 30, 2023 676,760 $ 104.63 Granted 349,702 $ 95.13 Vested (195,471) $ 90.52 Forfeited (14,808) $ 99.77 June 29, 2024 816,183 $ 104.02 Stock-based compensation expense relating to restricted stock awards during the three and six months ended June 29, 2024 was $7,322 and $13,988, respectively, and $4,902 and $10,728 during the three and six months ended July 1, 2023, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense during the three and six months ended June 29, 2024 includes $862 and $1,809, respectively, of expense related to the Company's liability-classified awards. Stock-based compensation expense during the three and six months ended July 1, 2023 includes $543 and $1,157, respectively, of expense related to the Company's liability-classified awards. The total estimated amount of the liability-classified awards for fiscal 2024 is approximately $8,678. Approximately $51,368 of deferred compensation, which is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted average vesting period of 2 years, is unrecognized at June 29, 2024. The total fair value of restricted shares vested during the six months ended June 29, 2024 and July 1, 2023 was $18,653 and $20,851, respectively.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes As of June 29, 2024 the Company had net deferred income tax assets of $4,744. As of December 30, 2023, the Company had net deferred income tax liabilities of $2,837. The change from net deferred income tax liabilities to net deferred income tax assets is primarily due to the capitalization of research and development costs under Section 174 of the Internal Revenue Code and the amortization of intangible assets. The Company's effective income tax rate was (8.7%) and (6.7%) during the three and six months ended June 29, 2024, respectively, and 8.2% and 11.7% during the three and six months ended July 1, 2023, respectively. The difference between the effective income tax rate and the combined statutory federal and state income tax rate was primarily due to an increase in federal tax credits and a decrease in the recognition of excess tax benefits from stock-based payments in the first half of fiscal 2024 as compared to the first half of fiscal 2023. The Company evaluates tax positions for recognition using a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, and those tax positions eligible for recognition are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon the effective settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. Fiscal years 2012 through 2014 are considered open tax years in the State of California. Fiscal years 2020 through 2023 are considered open tax years in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, state jurisdictions, including the State of California, and foreign jurisdictions. It is not expected that there will be a significant change in the unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Reportable Segments	Reportable Segments The Company reports segment information in accordance with ASC Topic No. 280 “ Segment Reporting” (“Topic No. 280”). The Company is organized into three operating and reportable segments: Infrastructure ("INF"), which includes the Company's engineering, civil program management, utility services, and construction quality assurance practices; Building, Technology & Sciences ("BTS"), which includes the Company's environmental health sciences, clean energy consulting, buildings and program management, and MEP & technology design practices; and Geospatial Solutions ("GEO"), which includes the Company's geospatial solution practices. The Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") group is comprised of the Company's Executive Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officers. The Company identified changes to the CODM group effective March 1, 2024 when Dickerson Wright transitioned from his role as Chief Executive Officer to Executive Chairman of the Company, and Alexander Hockman and Benjamin Heraud were appointed Co-Chief Executive Officers. There was no change in the Company's operating or reportable segments as a result of the change in CODM. The Company evaluates the performance of these reportable segments based on their respective operating income before the effect of amortization expense related to acquisitions and other unallocated corporate expenses. The following tables set forth summarized financial information concerning our reportable segments: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 29, 2024 July 1, 2023 June 29, 2024 July 1, 2023 Gross revenues INF $ 100,845 $ 96,728 $ 191,096 $ 184,938 BTS 63,607 54,032 123,582 106,878 GEO 71,874 71,878 134,943 115,139 Total gross revenues $ 236,326 $ 222,638 $ 449,621 $ 406,955 Segment income before taxes INF $ 17,080 $ 16,745 $ 32,121 $ 33,726 BTS 10,382 8,113 20,482 16,531 GEO 16,790 14,814 27,503 21,835 Total Segment income before taxes 44,252 39,672 80,106 72,092 Corporate (1) (36,978) (22,882) (72,313) (47,898) Total income before taxes $ 7,274 $ 16,790 $ 7,793 $ 24,194 (1) Includes amortization of intangibles of $13,567 and $25,687 for the three and six months ended June 29, 2024, respectively, and $11,300 and $20,334 during the three and six months ended July 1, 2023, respectively. The Company disaggregates its gross revenues from contracts with customers by geographic location, customer-type and contract-type for each of our reportable segments.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	6 Months Ended

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation	Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for reporting of interim financial information. Pursuant to such rules and regulations, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations of the Company as of the dates and for the periods presented. Accordingly, these statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2023 (the “2023 Form 10-K”). The results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future interim period or for the full 2024 fiscal year.
Performance Obligations	Performance Obligations To determine the proper revenue recognition method, the Company evaluates whether two or more contracts should be combined and accounted for as one single contract and whether the combined or single contract should be accounted for as more than one performance obligation. The majority of the Company's contracts have a single performance obligation as the promise to transfer the individual goods or services that is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and therefore, is not distinct. The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied as work progresses or at a point in time. Revenue on the Company's cost-reimbursable contracts is recognized over time using direct costs incurred or direct costs incurred to date as compared to the estimated total direct costs for performance obligations because it depicts the transfer of control to the customer. Contract costs include labor, sub-consultant services, and other direct costs. Gross revenue from services transferred to customers at a point in time is recognized when the customer obtains control of the asset, which is generally upon delivery and acceptance by the customer of the reports and/or analysis performed. As of June 29, 2024, the Company had $980,802 of remaining performance obligations, of which $743,872 is expected to be recognized over the next 12 months and the majority of the balance over the next 24 months. Contracts for which work authorizations have been received are included in performance obligations. Performance obligations include only those amounts that have been funded and authorized and does not reflect the full amounts the Company may receive over the term of such contracts. In the case of non-government contracts and project awards, performance obligations include future revenue at contract or customary rates, excluding contract renewals or extensions that are at the discretion of the client. For contracts with a not-to-exceed maximum amount, the Company includes revenue from such contracts in performance obligations to the extent of the remaining estimated amount. Contract Balances
Goodwill and Intangible Assets	Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill is the excess of consideration paid for an acquired entity over the amounts assigned to assets acquired, including other identifiable intangible assets and liabilities assumed in a business combination. To determine the amount of goodwill resulting from a business combination, the Company performs an assessment to determine the acquisition date fair value of the acquired company’s tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities. Goodwill is required to be evaluated for impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the asset may be impaired. An entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. These qualitative factors include macroeconomic and industry conditions, cost factors, overall financial performance, and other relevant entity-specific events. If the entity determines that this threshold is met, then the Company applies a one-step quantitative test and record the amount of goodwill impairment as the excess of a reporting unit's carrying amount over its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The Company determines fair value through multiple valuation techniques, and weights the results accordingly. Subjective and complex judgments are required in assessing whether an event of impairment of goodwill has occurred, including assumptions and estimates used to determine the fair value of its reporting units. The Company has elected to perform its annual goodwill impairment review as of August 1 of each year. The Company conducts its annual impairment tests on the goodwill using the quantitative method of evaluating goodwill. As of August 1, 2023, the Company conducted its annual impairment tests using the quantitative method of evaluating goodwill. Based on the quantitative analyses the Company determined the fair value of each of the reporting units exceeded its carrying value. Therefore, the goodwill was not impaired and the Company did not recognize an impairment charge relating to goodwill as of August 1, 2023. Furthermore, there were no indicators, events, or changes in circumstances that would indicate goodwill was impaired during the period from August 2, 2023 through June 29, 2024.
