There are several ways to apply for a permit in the HammerTech system. Permits can be created by Main Builder users, through the subcontractor interface, or by scanning the QR code for the relevant permit zone.
Important Notes:
-
If a Main Builder user creates the permit request, it is automatically approved.
-
If a subcontractor representative requests a permit, the request is sent to the Main Builder for review and approval or rejection.
Exclusive Permit Zones and Exclusive Permit Types
-
If a permit zone or permit type has been flagged as exclusive, only one active permit can be approved for the same date, time, and zone.
Concurrent and Overlapping Bookings
-
Multiple permits can be approved for the same date, time, and zone only if the permit zone and/or permit type are not exclusive.
