You receive coordinated conduit routing, identification protocols, and termination practices that enable future expansion. We organize shutdowns, offer temporary power, and coordinate cutovers to sustain uptime.
Spanning emergency egress lighting, selective coordination, and arc-fault mitigation, we build dependable distribution that adheres to equipment specs and landlord standards. Low-voltage pathways, metering, and surge protection are planned, documented, and tested, delivering a scalable, compliant, and maintainable electrical environment.
Code Compliance and Safety-Priority Practices
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 enforce Lockout/Tagout providing zero-energy verification before any work begins. We obtain the required permits, coordinate inspections, and deliver as-built records to confirm your system passes on the first review.
National Electrical Code and Seattle Codes
Though each project is different, our work follows the same fundamental approach: strict compliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You receive designs and 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 find compliant service entrance designs with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We utilize Article 250 methods, verify electrode continuity, and test impedance to reduce touch voltage during a ground fault. We also confirm AFCI/GFCI protection where needed, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, wiring methods, 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 maintains strict PPE and lockout/tagout controls to keep energized hazards at bay. You determine all energy sources, verify absence 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 verified on a known source before and after testing.
You keep control of keys, establish boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no device is re-energized prematurely. You verify again zero energy state before removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring machinery methodically and safely.
Permitting 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, 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 organize work for every inspection, utilizing a detailed 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 ensure as-builts up-to-date, address red tags immediately, and request re-inspections only when corrections are verified. Final sign-off corresponds to panel schedules, torque records, and test results.
Transparent Rates and Direct Communication
You receive an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We state total cost and scope before work starts, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. Throughout the job, we provide plain‑language updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Upfront, Detailed Price Quotes
Expect upfront, comprehensive estimates that spell out labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work starts. You get a detailed breakdown tied to scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI needs, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We synchronize each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you recognize what's needed and why.
We employ standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for clear cost visibility. Should field conditions change—hidden junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we update the estimate for compliance and accuracy, with your approval first. You'll understand timelines, access requirements, utility coordination, and shutoff plans. Our documentation clarifies warranty terms, submittals, and disposal methods, providing safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.
Zero Hidden Costs
Although scopes change during real-world work, our pricing never hides extras. You obtain upfront billing linked to defined tasks, materials, and code-compliant methods, so you won't face unexpected costs 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 wait for your authorization.
Our pricing framework follows NEC-driven standards and safety best practices. You'll see transparent costs for service-entrance work, grounding upgrades, AFCIs, or GFCIs. We also provide bundle discounts when you group related tasks—like panel upgrades with surge protection—minimizing total labor mobilizations. Straightforward pricing, documented assumptions, and set pricing secure your budget, schedule, and safety.
Clear-Language Updates
Clear pricing only works when updates are just as clear. You'll get plain-language briefings that translate NEC requirements, load calculations, and permit steps into specific actions, timelines, and costs. We flag scope changes right away, record their code drivers, and detail safety impacts so you can authorize with certainty.
We establish project milestones, deliver documented change orders, and capture timestamped progress photographs. You see circuit labeling, breaker sizing, GFCI/AFCI positioning, and grounding improvements in simple terms. Should we recommend derating your panel or installing arc-fault protection, we break down the risks involved, applicable standards, and associated costs before any work starts.
You'll also receive community updates on power outages, facility inspections, and municipal programs, plus useful energy suggestions—such as LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to lower usage while upholding compliance and safety.
Project Journey: From Consultation to Final Walkthrough
Prior to bringing out any equipment, we start with a comprehensive on-site consultation to define scope, load requirements, code specifications, and safety priorities. We verify service capacity, map circuits, assess grounding/bonding requirements, and document access or shutoff procedures. You'll receive a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a detailed scope proposal with listed materials and permit requirements.
Following permit approval, we plan work to reduce outages. We implement lockout/tagout protocols, protect finishes, and execute check here installations according to NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer specs. 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 information and maintenance tasks.
Final inspection validates punch-list closure, inspector sign-off, and post installation support details.
