We deliver systematically planned conduit routing, identification protocols, and termination practices that facilitate future expansion. We schedule shutdowns, deliver temporary power, and coordinate cutovers to ensure uptime.
From emergency egress lighting to selective coordination and arc-fault mitigation, we construct dependable distribution that aligns with equipment requirements and landlord standards. Metering, low-voltage pathways, and surge protection are documented, planned, and tested, delivering a compliant, maintainable, and scalable electrical system.
Code Compliance and Safety-Priority Practices
You require strict adherence to the NEC and Seattle Electrical Code, with clear documentation of conductor sizing, grounding, and fault protection. We wear task-appropriate PPE and implement Lockout/Tagout so you get zero-energy verification before any work commences. We obtain the required permits, coordinate inspections, and deliver as-built records to guarantee your system passes on the first review.
Seattle Codes & NEC
Though every project is one-of-a-kind, our work follows the same fundamental approach: strict alignment with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You obtain designs and installations that satisfy the latest adopted editions, including Seattle's local amendments. We verify conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and fault-current ratings, then document specifications for inspection.
You'll find compliant service entrance arrangements with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We utilize Article 250 techniques, verify electrode continuity, and test impedance to restrict touch voltage during a ground fault. We also verify AFCI/GFCI protection where needed, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, wiring techniques, and penetrations conform to listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and inspection-ready compliance reports.
PPE and Lockout/Tagout Procedures
Founded upon compliant design and installation, field work follows strict PPE and lockout/tagout controls to keep energized hazards at bay. You identify all energy sources, verify no presence of voltage, and apply isolation devices with durable tags and locks under a documented procedure. You wear personal protective equipment matched to incident energy and task: arc-rated clothing, voltage-rated gloves with leather protectors, eye and face shields, EH-rated footwear, and hearing protection. You use insulated tools, barriers, and test instruments verified on a known source before and after testing.
You keep control of keys, post boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no machinery is re-energized too early. You confirm again zero energy state before removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring machinery systematically and securely.
Permits and Inspections
Before a single conductor gets pulled, permits and inspections set the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You obtain the correct permit scope, confirm fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to stop idle crews and rushed work. You reference NEC, WAC, and Seattle DCI requirements, documenting load calculations, conductor sizing, grounding, bonding, AFCI/GFCI locations, and fault-current ratings.
You stage work for each inspection, using a precise inspection checklist: rough-in box fill, staple spacing, derating, click here conduit support intervals, equipment working clearances, service disconnect labeling, bonding jumpers, and arc-fault/GFCI protection verification. You maintain as-builts accurate, resolve red tags immediately, and submit re-inspections only when corrections are confirmed. Final sign-off aligns with panel schedules, torque specifications, and test results.
Transparent Fees and Open Communication
You receive an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We outline the complete scope and total cost before work starts, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. Throughout the job, we deliver easy-to-understand updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Transparent, Detailed Estimates
Rely on upfront, comprehensive estimates that spell out labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work begins. You obtain a comprehensive breakdown tied to scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI demands, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We synchronize each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you see what's needed and why.
We utilize standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for transparent pricing. If field conditions differ—concealed junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we update the estimate for accuracy and compliance, with your approval first. You'll understand timelines, access requirements, utility coordination, and shutoff plans. Our documentation explains warranty terms, submittals, and disposal methods, ensuring safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.
No Hidden Fees
Although scopes change during real-world work, our pricing never hides extras. You obtain upfront billing connected to defined tasks, materials, and code-compliant methods, so no hidden charges emerge when we examine a panel or trace a circuit. We provide a flat rate for each approved scope segment, based on labor hours, parts specifications, and required permits. If conditions demand a change, we pause, price it, and wait for your authorization.
Our pricing framework follows NEC-driven protocols and safety best practices. We provide detailed costs for AFCIs, GFCIs, service-entrance work, or grounding upgrades. We also provide bundle discounts when you package related services—like panel upgrades with surge protection—minimizing total labor mobilizations. Transparent math, documented assumptions, and set pricing secure your safety, budget, and schedule.
Plain-Language Revisions
Clear pricing only works when updates are just as clear. You'll get plain-language briefings that translate NEC regulations, load calculations, and permit procedures into concrete actions, timelines, and costs. We flag scope changes immediately, note their code drivers, and outline safety impacts so you can authorize with certainty.
We establish project milestones, deliver documented change orders, and capture timestamped progress photographs. You see circuit labels, breaker sizes, GFCI/AFCI placements, and grounding upgrades in simple terms. Should we recommend panel capacity reduction or arc-fault protection systems, we'll explain the potential hazard, relevant standard, and pricing before work proceeds.
You'll also receive community updates on service interruptions, system inspections, and local initiatives, plus useful energy advice—like LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to decrease usage while ensuring compliance and safety.
Project Workflow: From Consultation Through Final Walkthrough
Before any tools come out, we begin with a comprehensive on-site consultation to establish scope, load requirements, code compliance requirements, and safety priorities. We validate service capacity, map circuits, determine grounding/bonding needs, and note access or shutoff procedures. You will get a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a fixed-scope proposal with listed materials and permit requirements.
Upon permit approval, we arrange work to reduce outages. We perform lockout/tagout procedures, protect finishes, and complete installations in compliance with NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer specs. We mark panels, torque terminations to specification, and test ground fault and arc fault protection, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once energized, we verify systems, show operation, and document warranties and maintenance tasks.
Final walkthrough confirms punch-list closure, inspector sign-off, and post installation support details.
Final inspection validates all punch-list items, inspector sign-off, and post installation support details.
