You'll get carefully coordinated conduit routing, identification protocols, and termination practices that support future expansion. We organize shutdowns, supply temporary power, and orchestrate cutovers to sustain uptime.
From emergency egress lighting to selective coordination and arc-fault mitigation, we build robust distribution that adheres to equipment specifications and landlord standards. Surge protection, metering, and low-voltage pathways are planned, documented, and tested, providing a scalable, compliant, and maintainable electrical infrastructure.
Code Compliance and Safety-First Practices
We deliver strict adherence to the NEC and Seattle Electrical Code, with clear documentation of conductor sizing, grounding, and fault protection. We utilize task-appropriate PPE and implement Lockout/Tagout to ensure zero-energy verification before any work commences. We obtain the required permits, coordinate inspections, and provide as-built records to ensure your system passes on the first review.
Seattle Codes and National Electrical Code
Though every project is unique, our work follows the same basis: strict alignment with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You receive designs and installations that comply with 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 observe compliant service entrance layouts with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We apply Article 250 methods, validate electrode continuity, and test impedance to minimize touch voltage during a ground fault. We also ensure 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 inspection-compliant compliance reports.
Personal Protective Equipment and Lockout/Tagout
Building on compliant design and installation, field work adheres to 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 aligned with 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 keep control of lock keys, establish boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no equipment is re-energized prematurely. You verify again zero energy state before removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring devices methodically and safely.
Licensing and Inspections
In advance of a single conductor is pulled, permits and inspections define the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You obtain the appropriate permit scope, validate fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to prevent 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 precise 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 current, remedy red tags immediately, and request re-inspections only when corrections are confirmed. Final sign-off matches panel schedules, torque records, and test results.
Open Costs and Transparent Communication
We provide you with an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We specify scope and total cost before work starts, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. Throughout the job, we deliver plain‑language updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Transparent, Itemized Pricing
Depend on upfront, comprehensive estimates that outline labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work commences. You are provided with a detailed breakdown aligned with scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI demands, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We match each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you understand what's required and why.
We utilize standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for cost transparency. Should field conditions change—concealed 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 clarifies warranty terms, submittals, and disposal methods, guaranteeing safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.
Zero Hidden Costs
Although scopes change during real-world work, our pricing never obscures extras. You obtain 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, determined by labor hours, parts specifications, and required permits. If conditions demand a change, we pause, price it, and seek your authorization.
Our rate structure aligns with NEC-driven protocols and safety best practices. You'll see detailed costs for AFCIs, GFCIs, service-entrance work, or grounding upgrades. We also offer bundle discounts when you package related tasks—like panel upgrades with surge protection—decreasing total labor mobilizations. Transparent math, documented assumptions, and guaranteed pricing preserve your schedule, budget, and safety.
Clear-Language Revisions
Clear pricing only works when updates are just as clear. You'll receive clear communications that convert NEC regulations, load calculations, and permit processes into concrete actions, timelines, and costs. We highlight scope changes right away, document 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 circuit labels, breaker sizes, GFCI/AFCI placements, and grounding upgrades explained in straightforward language. When we suggest panel capacity reduction or arc-fault protection systems, we explain the safety risk, code standard, and cost before any work starts.
You'll additionally obtain community updates on outages, infrastructure inspections, and community programs, plus practical energy recommendations—including LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to decrease usage while ensuring compliance and safety.
Project Workflow: From Consultation Through Final Walkthrough
Before we begin any physical work, we start with a detailed on-site consultation to determine scope, load requirements, code specifications, and safety priorities. We confirm service capacity, map circuits, determine grounding/bonding needs, and document access or shutoff procedures. You'll receive a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a fixed-scope proposal with specified materials and permit requirements.
Upon permit approval, we arrange work to reduce outages. We lockout/tagout, preserve finishes, and complete installations according to NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer requirements. We identify panels, torque terminations to required standards, and test GFCI/AFCI, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once energized, we validate systems, show operation, and document warranty details and maintenance requirements.
The final walkthrough verifies punch-list closure, inspector sign-off, and post installation support details.
