We provide carefully coordinated conduit routing, label standards, and termination practices that enable future expansion. We organize shutdowns, offer temporary power, and manage cutovers to protect uptime.
Covering everything from emergency egress lighting through selective coordination to arc-fault mitigation, we develop robust distribution that adheres to equipment specifications and landlord standards. Metering, low-voltage pathways, and surge protection are designed, documented, and verified, creating a compliant, maintainable, and scalable electrical environment.
Safety-Priority Practices and Code Compliance
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 maintain Lockout/Tagout providing zero-energy verification before any work begins. We obtain the required permits, coordinate inspections, and provide as-built records to ensure your system passes on the first review.
NEC and Seattle Codes
Even though every project is distinct, our work follows the same foundation: strict alignment with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You obtain 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 calculations for inspection.
You'll find compliant service entrance designs with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We utilize Article 250 procedures, verify electrode continuity, and test impedance to limit touch voltage during a ground fault. We also ensure AFCI/GFCI protection where needed, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, wiring methods, and penetrations adhere to listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and code-compliant compliance reports.
PPE and Lockout/Tagout Procedures
Based on compliant design and installation, field work follows strict PPE and lockout/tagout controls to keep energized hazards at bay. You locate 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 confirmed on a known source before and after testing.
You retain control of lock keys, set perimeters, and coordinate shift changes so no machinery is re-energized prematurely. You confirm again zero energy state before removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring machinery methodically and safely.
Permits Plus Inspections
In advance of a single conductor gets installed, permits and inspections establish the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You obtain the right permit scope, verify fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to avoid 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 thorough 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 ensure as-builts current, remedy red tags promptly, and initiate re-inspections only when corrections are confirmed. Final sign-off corresponds to panel schedules, torque specifications, and test results.
Honest Costs and Direct Communication
You get an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We outline total cost and scope before work commences, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. Throughout the job, we give you clear, straightforward updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Clear, Itemized Cost Breakdowns
Expect upfront, detailed estimates that detail labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work starts. You get a complete breakdown connected to scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI needs, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We tie each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you know what's needed and why.
We utilize standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for clear cost visibility. When field conditions vary—hidden junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we revise the estimate for precision and code adherence, with your approval first. You'll know timelines, access specifications, utility coordination, and shutoff plans. Our documentation explains warranty terms, submittals, and disposal methods, providing safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.
Transparent Pricing Only
While scopes shift during real-world work, our pricing never hides extras. You get upfront billing tied to defined tasks, materials, and code-compliant methods, so no hidden charges emerge when we open 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 demand a change, we stop, price it, and wait for your authorization.
Our cost structure adheres to NEC-driven processes and safety best practices. We provide clear costs for grounding enhancements, service-entrance installations, GFCIs, or AFCIs. We also provide bundle discounts when you combine related tasks—like panel upgrades with surge protection—decreasing total labor mobilizations. Straightforward pricing, documented assumptions, and guaranteed pricing safeguard your timeline, financial plan, and safety.
Simple-Language Modifications
Straightforward pricing demands equally straightforward updates. We provide straightforward updates that transform NEC requirements, load calculations, and permit processes into concrete actions, timelines, and costs. We flag scope changes right away, document their code drivers, and outline safety impacts so you can approve with confidence.
We schedule milestones, provide written change orders, and timestamp progress photos. You get circuit labels, breaker sizes, GFCI/AFCI placements, and grounding upgrades described in easy-to-understand terms. If we recommend electrical panel derating or arc-fault safety measures, we break down the risk, the standard, and the price before work proceeds.
You will also get community updates on outages, infrastructure inspections, and community programs, plus useful energy tips—like LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to minimize usage while preserving compliance and safety.
Project Process: From Initial Consultation to Final Walkthrough
Before any tools come out, we start with a comprehensive on-site consultation to establish scope, load requirements, code specifications, and safety priorities. We validate service capacity, map circuits, assess grounding/bonding requirements, and note access or shutoff procedures. You'll receive a written check here plan, clear timeline expectations, and a fixed-scope proposal with itemized materials and permit requirements.
Upon permit approval, we schedule work to limit outages. We perform lockout/tagout procedures, preserve finishes, and execute installations in compliance with NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer specs. We identify panels, torque terminations to required standards, and test GFCI/AFCI, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once energized, we verify systems, demonstrate operation, and document warranty details and maintenance schedules.
Final inspection validates punch-list closure, inspector sign-off, and post installation support details.
