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.
-
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.
How to Create a New Permit
-
Log into HammerTech
-
Select your project from the Company Overview drop-down menu in the top right-hand corner
-
From the left-hand menu, select Permits > Create New
-
Select the Permit Type
-
Select the Employer
Note: while it is possible to allow workers from multiple Employers to sign onto one permit, one Employer still needs to be selected as the main Employer associated with the permit. Please get in touch with us or your Customer Success Representative if you wanted this functionality turned on. -
Select the Associated Workers involved in the permit
Note: If the permit type has the sign-in/sign-out function enabled, you will not be able to add associated workers - they will be linked to the permit when they sign in or out.
