After-hours permits allow contractors to work nights and help deliver projects that have short deadlines or that can’t accommodate daytime construction. For instance, this fall Skanska performed most of the work on its renovation of the 102nd floor observation deck of the Empire State Building between 2 a.m. and 7 a.m., when the terraces below were not open to the public.
As critical as after-hours variances (AHV) are to some projects, staffing, noise complaints and bureaucratic pushback often make nighttime work a difficult experience for contractors.
