We deliver properly coordinated conduit routing, marking conventions, and termination practices that accommodate future expansion. We schedule shutdowns, furnish temporary power, and coordinate cutovers to protect uptime.
Spanning emergency egress lighting, selective coordination, and arc-fault mitigation, we develop robust distribution that complies with equipment requirements and landlord standards. Surge protection, metering, and low-voltage pathways are documented, planned, and tested, delivering a scalable, compliant, and maintainable electrical infrastructure.
Safety-Focused Practices and Code Compliance
You demand 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 so you get zero-energy verification before any work starts. We secure the required permits, coordinate inspections, and provide as-built records to confirm your system passes on the first review.
NEC and Seattle Codes
Even though every project is unique, our work follows the same fundamental approach: strict compliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You receive designs and here installations that conform to 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 see compliant service entrance configurations with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We apply Article 250 approaches, verify electrode continuity, and test impedance to minimize 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 techniques, 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
Building 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 lack 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 maintain control of access keys, set perimeters, and coordinate shift changes so no device is re-energized before clearance. You re-verify zero energy state before removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring devices systematically and securely.
Permitting and Inspections
In advance of a single conductor gets pulled, permits and inspections define the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You obtain the right permit scope, confirm fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to prevent 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 prepare work for each inspection, employing 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 ensure as-builts accurate, remedy red tags promptly, and request re-inspections only when corrections are confirmed. Final sign-off corresponds to panel schedules, torque specifications, and test results.
Straightforward Fees and Clear Communication
You get 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 begins, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. During the project, we provide clear, straightforward updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Clear, Itemized Cost Breakdowns
Rely on upfront, detailed estimates that detail labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work commences. You obtain a complete breakdown linked to scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI demands, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We tie each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you recognize what's required and why.
We employ standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for clear cost visibility. When field conditions change—buried junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we revise the estimate for accuracy and compliance, with your approval first. You'll know timelines, access needs, utility coordination, and shutoff plans. Our documentation details warranty terms, submittals, and disposal methods, guaranteeing safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.
Transparent Pricing Only
Though scopes shift during real-world work, our pricing never conceals extras. You obtain upfront billing connected to defined tasks, materials, and code-compliant methods, so no hidden charges emerge when we open a panel or trace a circuit. We quote a flat rate for each approved scope segment, based on labor hours, parts specifications, and required permits. If conditions necessitate a change, we pause, price it, and obtain your authorization.
Our cost structure adheres to NEC-driven procedures and safety best practices. You'll see transparent costs for service-entrance work, grounding upgrades, AFCIs, or GFCIs. We also feature bundle discounts when you group related services—like panel upgrades with surge protection—lowering total labor mobilizations. Clear calculations, documented assumptions, and set pricing protect your safety, budget, and schedule.
Clear-Language Updates
Clear pricing only works when updates are just as clear. You'll receive clear communications that convert NEC requirements, load calculations, and permit steps into concrete actions, timelines, and costs. We flag scope changes instantly, 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 receive circuit identification, breaker specifications, GFCI/AFCI locations, and grounding enhancements explained in straightforward language. If we propose panel derating or arc-fault protection, we break down the risk, the standard, and the price prior to beginning work.
You will also get community updates on outages, inspections, and city initiatives, plus useful energy suggestions—such as LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to reduce usage while preserving compliance and safety.
Project Process: From Consultation Through Final Walkthrough
Before we begin any physical work, we begin with a thorough on-site consultation to determine scope, load requirements, code compliance requirements, and safety priorities. We confirm service capacity, document circuits, identify grounding/bonding specifications, and record access or shutoff procedures. We'll provide you with a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a clearly defined proposal with listed materials and permit requirements.
After permit approval, we plan work to reduce outages. We perform lockout/tagout procedures, protect finishes, and complete installations in compliance with NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer specifications. We identify panels, torque terminations to required standards, and test ground fault and arc fault protection, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once energized, we validate systems, show operation, and document warranty information and maintenance schedules.
Final walkthrough confirms punch-list closure, inspector sign-off, and post installation support details.
Final inspection validates all punch-list items, inspector sign-off, and post installation support details.
Final inspection validates all punch-list items, inspector authorization, and post installation support details.
Final inspection validates punch-list closure, official inspector approval, and details regarding post-installation support.
