Construction hours in New Berlin, WI — sometimes called construction noise rules or contractor work-hour ordinances — set when contractors can run power tools, hammers, and heavy equipment.
Waukesha County has no countywide construction-hours ordinance. Permitted-hour limits on hammering, power tools and heavy equipment are set by your city, village or town. In unincorporated towns, construction noise is handled through the general nuisance standard and state disorderly-conduct law.
No chapter of the Waukesha County Code fixes construction start and stop times, so there is no county rule to cite. Cities and villages (Waukesha, Brookfield, New Berlin, Menomonee Falls) commonly limit noisy construction to daytime hours — often 7 a.m. to 8 or 10 p.m., with tighter Sunday and holiday limits — through their nuisance chapters. In consenting unincorporated towns, the county zones land use but leaves noise timing to the town; unreasonably loud early-morning or late-night work can still be cited as a public nuisance or as disorderly conduct under Wis. Stat. 947.01. Confirm exact hours with your municipal building or clerk's office.
Enforced as a municipal nuisance forfeiture set locally, or as Wis. Stat. 947.01 disorderly conduct (Class B misdemeanor) where conduct provokes a disturbance.
