All necessary permits should have been obtained prior to scheduling labour and materials. Most conditions of permit approvals should not affect the scheduling of a job.

The main condition of approval that can affect scheduling is one that relates to the working hours and working days which varies between councils. For example, the Gold Coast City Council's local law number 23 stipulates that construction work be carried out only in the hours between 7.00 am and 6.00 pm on weekdays and Saturdays. In the City of Melbourne, the council stipulates the normal hours for building and construction as being 7.00 am - 7.00 pm weekdays and 8.00 am - 3.00 pm Saturdays. The schedule for the amount of work to be carried out varies depending on location.
