We provide carefully coordinated conduit routing, label standards, and termination practices that enable future expansion. We organize shutdowns, offer temporary power, and sequence cutovers to sustain uptime.
From emergency egress lighting to selective coordination and arc-fault mitigation, we engineer reliable distribution that adheres to equipment specs and landlord stipulations. Surge protection, metering, and low-voltage pathways are documented, planned, and tested, providing a compliant, maintainable, and scalable electrical system.
Code Compliance and Safety-Priority Practices
You click here demand 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 maintain Lockout/Tagout providing zero-energy verification before any work starts. We secure the required permits, coordinate inspections, and supply as-built records to confirm your system passes on the first review.
Seattle Codes & NEC
While each project is unique, our work is built on the same fundamental approach: strict alignment with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You get designs and installations that conform to the latest adopted editions, including Seattle's local amendments. We verify conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and fault-current ratings, then document computations for inspection.
You'll find compliant service entrance layouts with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We utilize Article 250 approaches, confirm electrode continuity, and test impedance to limit touch voltage during a ground fault. We also verify AFCI/GFCI protection where necessary, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, wiring procedures, and penetrations conform to listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and ready-for-inspection compliance reports.
Personal Protective Equipment and LOTO
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 validated on a known source before and after testing.
You maintain control of access keys, set perimeters, and coordinate shift changes so no equipment is re-energized too early. You confirm again zero energy state in advance of removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring devices carefully and safely.
Building Permits and Inspections
In advance of a single conductor gets 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 avoid idle crews and rushed work. You review 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 calculations, staple interval requirements, conductor derating, conduit support specifications, working clearance standards, service disconnect marking, bonding jumper connections, and arc-fault/GFCI protection checks. You keep as-builts up-to-date, address red tags promptly, and request re-inspections only when corrections are confirmed. Final sign-off matches panel schedules, torque documentation, and test results.
Straightforward Pricing and Straightforward Communication
You receive an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We state scope and total cost before work commences, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. Throughout the job, we deliver clear, straightforward updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Transparent, Itemized Pricing
Expect upfront, itemized estimates that detail labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work kicks off. You receive a thorough breakdown tied to scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI requirements, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We tie each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you see what's necessary and why.
We utilize standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for transparent pricing. When field conditions vary—buried 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 needs, utility coordination, and shutoff plans. Our documentation explains warranty terms, submittals, and disposal methods, providing safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.
No Hidden Fees
While scopes shift during real-world work, our pricing never hides extras. You obtain upfront billing linked to defined tasks, materials, and code-compliant methods, so no hidden charges emerge 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 require a change, we halt, price it, and obtain your authorization.
Our fee system complies with NEC-driven protocols and safety best practices. You'll receive clear costs for AFCIs, GFCIs, service-entrance work, or grounding upgrades. We also offer bundle discounts when you group related tasks—like panel upgrades with surge protection—reducing total labor mobilizations. Transparent math, documented assumptions, and guaranteed pricing secure your schedule, budget, and safety.
Clear-Language Modifications
Transparent pricing requires equally transparent updates. You'll get plain-language briefings that translate NEC standards, load calculations, and permit procedures into tangible actions, timelines, and costs. We identify scope changes immediately, note their code drivers, and outline safety impacts so you can make informed decisions.
We set clear milestones, supply written modification orders, and document progress with timestamped photos. You see circuit labels, breaker sizes, GFCI/AFCI placements, and grounding upgrades presented in clear language. If we propose panel capacity reduction or arc-fault protection systems, we explain the risks involved, applicable standards, and associated costs before any work starts.
You will also get community updates on outages, inspections, and city initiatives, plus useful energy advice—like LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to decrease usage while maintaining compliance and safety.
Project Workflow: From Consultation Through Final Walkthrough
Prior to bringing out any equipment, we initiate a comprehensive on-site consultation to determine scope, load requirements, code constraints, and safety priorities. We validate service capacity, document circuits, identify grounding/bonding needs, and record access or shutoff procedures. You'll receive a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a clearly defined proposal with listed materials and permit requirements.
Following permit approval, we plan work to minimize outages. We lockout/tagout, protect finishes, and execute installations according to NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer specs. We identify panels, torque terminations to specification, and test GFCI and AFCI devices, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once energized, we commission systems, demonstrate operation, and document warranty information and maintenance tasks.
Final inspection validates punch-list closure, inspector sign-off, and post installation support details.
