Construction hours in Simpsonville, SC — sometimes called construction noise rules or contractor work-hour ordinances — set when contractors can run power tools, hammers, and heavy equipment.
Greenville County's noise ordinance expressly does not apply to noise on construction sites. The county code sets no specific decibel cap or start/stop hours for construction in unincorporated areas, though incorporated cities may.
Section 15-102(b) of the Greenville County noise ordinance lists construction sites among the activities the decibel limits do not apply to. That means the 70 dB daytime / 60 dB nighttime caps do not restrict jobsite noise in the unincorporated county, and the county has not adopted separate construction-hour windows. Residents bothered by construction noise generally have to rely on general nuisance principles or, inside a municipality, the city's own construction-hour rules. The ordinance still preserves common-law nuisance remedies (Sec. 15-101(a)). Check with your city if the site is inside Greenville, Greer, Simpsonville, Mauldin, Travelers Rest, or Fountain Inn.
Not applicable at county level for construction noise; the noise ordinance's decibel limits and misdemeanor penalties do not reach construction-site noise.
