You receive systematically planned conduit routing, labeling standards, and termination practices that support future expansion. We stage shutdowns, supply temporary power, and schedule cutovers to sustain uptime.
Spanning emergency egress lighting, selective coordination, and arc-fault mitigation, we engineer reliable distribution that adheres to equipment requirements and landlord requirements. Surge protection, metering, and low-voltage pathways are documented, planned, and tested, creating a compliant, maintainable, and scalable electrical environment.
Safety-First Practices and Code Compliance
You expect 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 obtain the required permits, coordinate inspections, and supply as-built records to confirm your system passes on the first review.
National Electrical Code and Seattle Codes
Though every project is one-of-a-kind, our work is built on the same foundation: strict adherence to 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 verify conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and fault-current ratings, then document computations for inspection.
You'll observe compliant service entrance configurations with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We apply Article 250 approaches, validate electrode continuity, and test impedance to reduce 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 approaches, and penetrations follow listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and code-compliant compliance reports.
PPE and Lockout/Tagout Procedures
Founded upon compliant design and installation, field work follows 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 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, post boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no device is re-energized before clearance. You re-verify zero energy state in advance of removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring devices systematically and securely.
Required Permits and Inspections
Before a single conductor is pulled, permits and inspections set the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You obtain the appropriate permit scope, verify 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 thorough 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 maintain as-builts up-to-date, address red tags without delay, and request re-inspections only when corrections are verified. Final sign-off aligns with panel schedules, torque records, and test results.
Open Rates and Straightforward Communication
You get an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We outline total cost and scope before work starts, with no hidden charges or here surprise add‑ons. Throughout the job, we provide plain‑language updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Upfront, Itemized Estimates
Expect upfront, comprehensive estimates that clarify labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work commences. You receive a complete breakdown linked 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 understand what's mandated and why.
We utilize standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for transparent pricing. When field conditions change—concealed junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we adjust the estimate for accuracy and compliance, with your approval first. You'll be informed of timelines, access specifications, utility coordination, and shutoff plans. Our documentation explains warranty terms, submittals, and disposal methods, ensuring safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.
No Surprise Fees
Although scopes shift during real-world work, our pricing never conceals extras. You receive upfront billing linked to defined tasks, materials, and code-compliant methods, so you won't face unexpected costs when we examine 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 pricing framework follows NEC-driven standards and safety best practices. We provide transparent costs for GFCIs, AFCIs, grounding upgrades, or service-entrance work. We also feature bundle discounts when you combine related tasks—like panel upgrades with surge protection—minimizing total labor mobilizations. Clear calculations, documented assumptions, and set pricing safeguard your safety, budget, and schedule.
Simple-Language Modifications
Straightforward pricing demands equally straightforward updates. You'll get plain-language briefings that translate NEC standards, load calculations, and permit procedures into specific actions, timelines, and costs. We identify scope changes immediately, record their code drivers, and document safety impacts so you can make informed decisions.
We set clear milestones, supply written modification orders, and document progress with timestamped photos. You'll see labeled circuits, breaker capacities, GFCI/AFCI installations, and grounding upgrades in simple terms. When we suggest panel derating or arc-fault protection, we'll explain the potential hazard, relevant standard, and pricing before work proceeds.
You will also get community updates on power outages, facility inspections, and municipal programs, plus helpful energy tips—like LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to decrease usage while ensuring compliance and safety.
Project Workflow: From Initial Consultation to Final Walkthrough
Before any tools come out, we begin with a thorough on-site consultation to determine scope, load requirements, code compliance requirements, and safety priorities. We confirm service capacity, chart circuits, identify grounding/bonding requirements, and note 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 schedule work to minimize outages. We lockout/tagout, preserve finishes, and complete installations per NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer specifications. We mark panels, torque terminations to specification, and test GFCI/AFCI, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once energized, we commission systems, present operation, and document warranty details and maintenance tasks.
Final inspection validates punch-list closure, inspector sign-off, and post installation support details.
