Our clients benefit from systematically planned conduit routing, marking conventions, and termination practices that facilitate future expansion. We coordinate shutdowns, deliver temporary power, and schedule cutovers to preserve uptime.
From emergency egress lighting to selective coordination and arc-fault mitigation, we develop reliable distribution that aligns with equipment requirements and landlord requirements. Metering, low-voltage pathways, and surge protection are documented, planned, and tested, providing a compliant, maintainable, and scalable electrical infrastructure.
Safety-Priority Practices and Code Compliance
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 enforce Lockout/Tagout so you get zero-energy verification before any work starts. We pull the required permits, coordinate inspections, and deliver as-built records to guarantee your system passes on the first review.
NEC & Seattle Codes
Even though every project is one-of-a-kind, our work adheres to the same basis: strict conformity to the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You get designs and installations that meet the latest adopted editions, including Seattle's local amendments. We verify conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and fault-current ratings, then document calculations for inspection.
You'll see compliant service entrance arrangements with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We utilize Article 250 techniques, validate electrode continuity, and test impedance to restrict touch voltage during a ground fault. We also make certain AFCI/GFCI protection where mandated, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, wiring techniques, and penetrations conform to listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and code-compliant compliance reports.
Personal Protective Equipment and Lockout/Tagout
Building on compliant design and installation, field work maintains strict PPE and lockout/tagout controls to keep energized hazards at bay. You determine 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 access keys, post boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no equipment is re-energized too early. You re-verify zero energy state in advance of removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring machinery systematically and securely.
Required Permits and Inspections
In advance of a single conductor gets pulled, permits and inspections set the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You acquire the correct permit scope, validate fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to stop 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: box fill calculations, staple distances, derating factors, conduit support spacing, equipment clearance requirements, service disconnect identification, bonding jumper installation, and arc-fault/GFCI protection validation. You ensure as-builts accurate, resolve red tags immediately, and initiate re-inspections only when corrections are validated. Final sign-off matches panel schedules, torque documentation, and test results.
Honest Rates and Transparent Communication
You receive an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We specify total cost and scope before work begins, 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.
Upfront, Detailed Price Quotes
Count on upfront, comprehensive estimates that spell out labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work commences. You are provided with a thorough breakdown aligned with scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI needs, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We match each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you see what's mandated and why.
We utilize standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for cost transparency. Should field conditions change—buried junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we adjust the estimate for compliance and accuracy, with your approval first. You'll be informed of 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 Surprise Fees
Although scopes evolve during real-world work, our pricing never obscures extras. You receive upfront billing connected to defined tasks, materials, and code-compliant methods, so there are no surprises when we access 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 require a change, we pause, price it, and seek your authorization.
Our rate structure aligns with NEC-driven procedures and safety best practices. You'll find straightforward costs for GFCIs, AFCIs, grounding upgrades, or service-entrance work. We also feature bundle discounts when you bundle related projects—like panel upgrades with surge protection—decreasing total labor mobilizations. Honest numbers, documented assumptions, and guaranteed pricing safeguard your safety, budget, and schedule.
Simple-Language Modifications
Clear pricing only works when updates are just as clear. We provide straightforward updates that transform NEC requirements, load calculations, and permit processes into tangible actions, timelines, and costs. We highlight scope changes immediately, record their code drivers, and outline safety impacts so you can authorize with certainty.
We organize milestones, furnish written change orders, and record timestamped progress images. You'll see circuit labels, breaker sizes, GFCI/AFCI placements, and grounding upgrades explained in straightforward language. When we suggest panel derating or arc-fault protection, we clarify the potential hazard, relevant standard, and pricing before work proceeds.
Additionally, you'll receive community updates on outages, inspections, and city initiatives, plus useful energy recommendations—including LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to reduce usage while upholding compliance and safety.
Project Process: From Initial Consultation to Final Walkthrough
Prior to bringing out any equipment, we initiate a detailed on-site consultation to establish scope, load requirements, code compliance requirements, and safety priorities. We verify service capacity, document circuits, identify grounding/bonding needs, and record access or shutoff procedures. You will get a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a fixed-scope proposal with listed materials and permit requirements.
Upon permit approval, we plan work to minimize outages. We perform lockout/tagout procedures, safeguard finishes, and perform installations per NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer specifications. We label panels, torque terminations to specification, and test GFCI and AFCI devices, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once activated, we verify systems, show operation, and document warranties and maintenance tasks.
