We provide properly coordinated conduit routing, labeling standards, and termination practices that accommodate future expansion. We schedule shutdowns, supply temporary power, and orchestrate cutovers to preserve uptime.
Covering everything from emergency egress lighting through selective coordination to arc-fault mitigation, we engineer reliable distribution that aligns with equipment requirements and landlord requirements. Metering, low-voltage pathways, and surge protection are documented, planned, and tested, delivering a compliant, maintainable, and scalable electrical environment.
Code Compliance and Safety-First Practices
You expect strict adherence to the NEC and Seattle Electrical Code, with clear documentation of conductor sizing, grounding, and fault protection. We use task-appropriate PPE and implement Lockout/Tagout so you get zero-energy verification before any work begins. We pull the required permits, coordinate inspections, and supply as-built records to confirm your system passes on the first review.
Seattle Codes & NEC
Even though each project is unique, our work is built on the same foundation: strict compliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You receive designs and installations that meet the latest adopted editions, including Seattle's local amendments. We check conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and fault-current ratings, then document computations for inspection.
You'll observe compliant service entrance layouts with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We employ Article 250 techniques, verify electrode continuity, and test impedance to reduce touch voltage during a ground fault. We also make certain AFCI/GFCI protection where required, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, wiring approaches, and penetrations follow listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and ready-for-inspection compliance reports.
Personal Protective Equipment and LOTO
Founded upon compliant design and installation, field work follows strict PPE and lockout/tagout controls to keep energized hazards at bay. You determine 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 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 confirmed on a known source before and after testing.
You keep control of lock keys, establish boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no device is re-energized before clearance. You verify again zero energy state prior to removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring devices systematically and securely.
Permits Plus Inspections
Before a single conductor gets installed, permits and inspections establish 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 avoid 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 detailed 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 maintain as-builts current, address red tags without delay, and submit re-inspections only when corrections are verified. Final sign-off corresponds to panel schedules, torque specifications, and test results.
Transparent Pricing and Clear 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 commences, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. While work progresses, we provide plain‑language updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Transparent, Detailed Estimates
Expect upfront, comprehensive estimates that clarify labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work commences. You receive a detailed breakdown linked to scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI needs, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We align each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you know what's mandated and why.
We use standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for transparent pricing. If field conditions differ—buried junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we update the estimate for compliance and accuracy, with your approval first. You'll be informed of 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.
Zero Hidden Costs
While scopes evolve during real-world work, our pricing never conceals extras. You receive upfront billing connected to defined tasks, materials, and code-compliant methods, so you won't face unexpected costs when we examine a panel or trace a circuit. We quote 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 rate structure aligns with NEC-driven processes and safety best practices. You'll see transparent costs for service-entrance work, grounding upgrades, AFCIs, or GFCIs. We also include bundle discounts when you combine related jobs—like panel upgrades with surge protection—minimizing total labor mobilizations. Honest numbers, documented assumptions, and guaranteed pricing safeguard your schedule, budget, and safety.
Plain-Language Updates
Straightforward pricing demands equally straightforward updates. You'll receive clear communications that convert NEC standards, load calculations, and permit steps into concrete actions, timelines, and costs. We flag scope changes instantly, note their code drivers, and detail safety impacts so you can make informed decisions.
We establish project milestones, deliver documented change orders, and capture timestamped progress photographs. You'll see labeled circuits, breaker capacities, GFCI/AFCI installations, and grounding upgrades explained in straightforward language. If we propose panel capacity reduction or arc-fault protection systems, we clarify the risks involved, applicable standards, and associated costs before any work starts.
You'll additionally obtain community updates on service interruptions, system inspections, and local initiatives, plus actionable energy tips—like LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to reduce usage while ensuring compliance and safety.
Project Process: From Consultation to Final Walkthrough
Prior to bringing out any equipment, we begin with a comprehensive on-site consultation to define scope, load requirements, code specifications, and safety priorities. We verify service capacity, chart circuits, assess grounding/bonding requirements, and note access or shutoff procedures. You'll receive a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a clearly defined proposal with itemized materials and permit requirements.
Upon permit approval, we arrange work to limit outages. We implement lockout/tagout protocols, protect finishes, and perform installations according to NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer requirements. We label panels, torque terminations to required standards, and test GFCI and AFCI devices, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once energized, we validate systems, show operation, and document warranties and maintenance requirements.
The final walkthrough verifies punch-list closure, inspector sign-off, and post installation support details.
