You'll get systematically planned conduit routing, marking conventions, and termination practices that allow for future expansion. We organize shutdowns, supply temporary power, and manage cutovers to sustain uptime.
From emergency egress lighting to selective coordination and arc-fault mitigation, we build reliable distribution that aligns with equipment specifications and landlord requirements. Low-voltage pathways, metering, and surge protection are documented, planned, and tested, ensuring a maintainable, compliant, and scalable electrical environment.
Code Compliance and Safety-First Practices
You demand 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 to ensure zero-energy verification before any work starts. We pull the required permits, coordinate inspections, and provide as-built records to confirm your system passes on the first review.
NEC and Seattle Codes
Though each project is different, our work maintains the same fundamental approach: strict alignment with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You get designs and installations that meet the latest adopted editions, including Seattle's local amendments. We confirm conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and fault-current ratings, then document specifications for inspection.
You will see compliant service entrance configurations with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We employ Article 250 methods, confirm electrode continuity, and test impedance to limit touch voltage during a ground fault. We also confirm AFCI/GFCI protection where needed, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, wiring methods, and penetrations comply with listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and code-compliant compliance reports.
Personal Protective Equipment and Lockout/Tagout
Based on compliant design and installation, field work adheres to strict PPE and lockout/tagout controls to keep energized hazards at bay. You locate all energy sources, verify lack of voltage, and apply isolation devices with durable tags and locks under a documented procedure. You wear personal protective equipment appropriate for 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 retain control of access keys, post boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no machinery is re-energized before clearance. You re-verify zero energy state in advance of removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring devices methodically and safely.
Required Permits and Inspections
In advance of a single conductor is pulled, permits and inspections define the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You secure the right permit scope, validate fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to stop idle crews and rushed work. You consult 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, conduit support intervals, equipment working clearances, service disconnect labeling, bonding jumpers, and arc-fault/GFCI protection verification. You keep as-builts accurate, address red tags promptly, and initiate re-inspections only when corrections are validated. Final sign-off corresponds to panel schedules, torque specifications, and test results.
Transparent Fees and Open Communication
We provide you with an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We specify total cost and scope before work begins, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. During the project, we deliver clear, straightforward updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Transparent, Detailed Estimates
Rely on upfront, detailed estimates that detail labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work starts. You receive a complete breakdown tied to scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI requirements, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We align each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you understand what's necessary and why.
We employ standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for clear cost visibility. If field conditions change—buried junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we update the estimate for accuracy and compliance, with your approval first. You'll know timelines, access requirements, utility coordination, and shutoff plans. Our documentation explains warranty terms, submittals, and disposal methods, guaranteeing safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.
Transparent Pricing Only
Though scopes change during real-world work, our pricing never hides extras. You get 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, calculated from labor hours, parts specifications, and required permits. If conditions necessitate a change, we pause, price it, and seek your authorization.
Our cost structure adheres to NEC-driven processes and safety best practices. You'll find clear costs for grounding enhancements, service-entrance installations, GFCIs, or AFCIs. We also offer bundle discounts when you bundle related projects—like panel upgrades with surge protection—decreasing total labor mobilizations. Clear calculations, documented assumptions, and fixed pricing protect your schedule, budget, and safety.
Plain-Language Revisions
Clear pricing only works when updates are just as clear. You'll get plain-language briefings that translate NEC requirements, load calculations, and permit procedures into specific actions, timelines, and costs. We flag scope changes right away, record their code drivers, and document safety impacts so you can make informed decisions.
We schedule milestones, provide written change orders, and timestamp progress photos. You get circuit identification, breaker specifications, GFCI/AFCI locations, and grounding enhancements explained in straightforward language. If we recommend panel derating or arc-fault protection, we explain the potential hazard, relevant standard, and pricing before any work starts.
You will also get community updates on service interruptions, system inspections, and local initiatives, plus helpful energy advice—like LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to lower usage while preserving compliance and safety.
Project Process: From Consultation Through Final Walkthrough
Prior to bringing out any equipment, we start with a comprehensive on-site consultation to determine scope, load requirements, code specifications, and safety priorities. We confirm service capacity, map circuits, determine grounding/bonding requirements, and note access or shutoff procedures. You will get a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a clearly defined proposal with specified materials and permit requirements.
Following permit approval, we arrange work to reduce outages. We implement lockout/tagout protocols, protect finishes, and execute installations per NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer specs. We label panels, torque terminations to required standards, and test ground fault and arc fault protection, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once powered up, we verify systems, show operation, and document warranty information and maintenance tasks.
Final walkthrough confirms punch-list closure, inspector sign-off, and post installation support details.
Final inspection validates punch-list closure, inspector sign-off, and post installation support details.
The final walkthrough verifies completion of the punch list, inspector authorization, and post installation support details.
Final inspection validates punch-list closure, official inspector approval, and post-installation service information.
