You'll get carefully coordinated conduit routing, label standards, and termination practices that enable future expansion. We organize shutdowns, furnish temporary power, and sequence cutovers to preserve uptime.
Covering everything from emergency egress lighting through selective coordination to arc-fault mitigation, we engineer stable distribution that complies with equipment specifications and landlord stipulations. Surge protection, metering, and low-voltage pathways are documented, planned, and tested, creating a compliant, maintainable, and scalable electrical system.
Code Compliance and Safety-First Practices
You 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 enforce Lockout/Tagout providing zero-energy verification before any work begins. We secure the required permits, coordinate inspections, and deliver as-built records to ensure your system passes on the first review.
National Electrical Code and Seattle Codes
Even though each project is one-of-a-kind, our work adheres to the same core principles: 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 will see compliant service entrance designs with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We apply Article 250 techniques, verify electrode continuity, and test impedance to reduce touch voltage during a ground fault. We also make certain AFCI/GFCI protection where specified, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, wiring approaches, and penetrations conform to listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and inspection-ready compliance reports.
PPE and Lockout/Tagout Procedures
Founded upon 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 no presence 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 confirmed on a known source before and after testing.
You keep control of access keys, set perimeters, 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.
Permitting and Inspections
Prior to a single conductor gets installed, 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 avoid 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 stage work for each inspection, using a precise 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 up-to-date, address red tags without delay, and submit re-inspections only when corrections are validated. Final sign-off matches panel schedules, torque documentation, and test results.
Open Rates 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 outline the complete scope and total cost 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.
Transparent, Detailed Estimates
Rely on upfront, line-by-line estimates that spell out labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work starts. You obtain a thorough breakdown linked to scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI requirements, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We synchronize each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you see what's needed and why.
We utilize standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for clear cost visibility. Should field conditions vary—hidden junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we adjust the estimate for compliance and accuracy, with your approval first. You'll understand timelines, access needs, utility coordination, and shutoff plans. Our documentation details warranty terms, submittals, and disposal methods, ensuring safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.
Zero Hidden Costs
While 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 require a change, we stop, price it, and seek your authorization.
Our fee system complies with NEC-driven processes and safety best practices. We provide transparent costs for service-entrance work, grounding upgrades, AFCIs, or GFCIs. We also offer bundle discounts when you package related projects—like panel upgrades with surge protection—lowering total labor mobilizations. Transparent math, documented assumptions, and fixed pricing preserve your timeline, financial plan, and safety.
Clear-Language Modifications
Transparent pricing requires equally transparent updates. You'll receive clear communications that convert NEC regulations, load calculations, and permit procedures into tangible actions, timelines, and costs. We identify scope changes right away, document 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 get circuit identification, breaker specifications, GFCI/AFCI locations, and grounding enhancements described in easy-to-understand terms. If we propose electrical panel derating or arc-fault safety measures, we clarify the risks involved, applicable standards, and associated costs prior to beginning work.
You'll additionally obtain community updates on power outages, facility inspections, and municipal programs, plus useful energy advice—like LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to reduce usage while preserving compliance and safety.
Project Workflow: From Consultation Through Final Walkthrough
Prior to bringing out any equipment, we begin with a detailed on-site consultation to establish scope, load requirements, code constraints, and safety priorities. We verify service capacity, map circuits, assess grounding/bonding needs, and record access or shutoff procedures. You will get a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a fixed-scope proposal with itemized materials and permit requirements.
After permit approval, we plan work to minimize outages. We implement lockout/tagout protocols, protect finishes, and execute installations in compliance with NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer specifications. We mark panels, torque terminations to specification, and test GFCI/AFCI, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once activated, we validate systems, demonstrate operation, and document warranties and maintenance schedules.
Final inspection validates punch-list closure, inspector sign-off, and post installation support details.
The final walkthrough verifies completion of the punch list, inspector sign-off, and post installation support details.
