Construction hours in Quincy, MA — sometimes called construction noise rules or contractor work-hour ordinances — set when contractors can run power tools, hammers, and heavy equipment.
Under Quincy Code Chapter 215, permitted construction may begin no earlier than 7:00 AM and must finish by 6:00 PM. Contractors must prepare a written noise-suppression plan using the most effective available equipment.
Chapter 215 defines construction as temporary activities directly associated with site preparation, assembly, erection, repair, alteration, or demolition of structures or roadways. Construction noise exceeding residential dBA limits is allowed only during permitted construction hours (7:00 AM – 6:00 PM). Higher dBA levels are permitted for permitted construction activities within those hours. Contractors are required to maintain a written plan documenting noise-suppression equipment, materials, and methods.
