You obtain scoped designs, stamped drawings, and seamless installations that connect to base-building systems without interrupting revenue hours.
We manage Tenant fit outs, Office rewiring, service panel enhancements, and power capacity enhancements sized to actual load profiles. We provide systematically planned conduit routing, label standards, and termination practices that allow for future expansion. We schedule shutdowns, offer temporary power, and schedule cutovers to protect uptime.
From emergency egress lighting to selective coordination and arc-fault mitigation, we construct reliable distribution that aligns with equipment specifications and landlord stipulations. Low-voltage pathways, metering, and surge protection are planned, documented, and tested, ensuring 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 implement Lockout/Tagout so you get zero-energy verification before any work commences. We pull the required permits, coordinate inspections, and supply as-built records to ensure your system passes on the first review.
NEC & Seattle Codes
Although every project is different, our work is built on the same foundation: strict compliance 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 confirm conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and fault-current ratings, then document calculations for inspection.
You will encounter compliant service entrance designs with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We apply Article 250 methods, confirm electrode continuity, and test impedance to restrict touch voltage during a ground fault. We also guarantee AFCI/GFCI protection where necessary, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, wiring methods, and penetrations conform to listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and inspection-compliant compliance reports.
PPE and Lockout/Tagout Procedures
Founded upon 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 website 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 retain control of access keys, establish boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no device is re-energized prematurely. You re-verify zero energy state in advance of removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring equipment systematically and securely.
Required Permits and Inspections
Prior to a single conductor gets pulled, permits and inspections establish the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You secure the correct permit scope, confirm fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to stop idle crews and rushed work. You consult 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 ensure as-builts current, remedy red tags without delay, and request re-inspections only when corrections are confirmed. Final sign-off corresponds to panel schedules, torque records, and test results.
Open Costs and Clear Communication
You get an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We specify the complete scope and total cost before work begins, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. Throughout the job, we give you plain‑language updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Clear, Itemized Cost Breakdowns
Depend on upfront, line-by-line estimates that outline labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work commences. You get a detailed breakdown connected to scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI requirements, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We align each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you recognize what's necessary and why.
We use standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for clear cost visibility. When field conditions change—hidden junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we revise the estimate for accuracy and compliance, with your approval first. You'll be informed of 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.
No Secret Charges
Though scopes change during real-world work, our pricing never conceals extras. You obtain upfront billing linked to defined tasks, materials, and code-compliant methods, so there are no surprises when we open a panel or trace a circuit. We quote a flat rate for each approved scope segment, determined by labor hours, parts specifications, and required permits. If conditions demand a change, we halt, price it, and obtain your authorization.
Our fee system complies with NEC-driven standards and safety best practices. We provide transparent costs for grounding enhancements, service-entrance installations, GFCIs, or AFCIs. We also offer bundle discounts when you package related jobs—like panel upgrades with surge protection—reducing total labor mobilizations. Honest numbers, documented assumptions, and set pricing preserve your budget, schedule, and safety.
Clear-Language Updates
Straightforward pricing demands equally straightforward updates. You'll receive clear communications that convert NEC regulations, load calculations, and permit steps into concrete actions, timelines, and costs. We identify scope changes instantly, record their code drivers, and document safety impacts so you can authorize with certainty.
We establish project milestones, deliver documented change orders, and capture timestamped progress photographs. You get circuit labels, breaker sizes, GFCI/AFCI placements, and grounding upgrades described in easy-to-understand terms. If we recommend derating your panel or installing arc-fault protection, we break down the safety risk, code standard, and cost before we proceed with the work.
Additionally, you'll receive community updates on service interruptions, system inspections, and local initiatives, plus actionable energy advice—like LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to minimize usage while maintaining compliance and safety.
Project Process: From Consultation Through Final Walkthrough
Before we begin any physical work, we initiate a thorough on-site consultation to establish scope, load requirements, code compliance requirements, and safety priorities. We validate service capacity, map circuits, assess grounding/bonding specifications, and document access or shutoff procedures. You will get a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a detailed scope proposal with listed materials and permit requirements.
After permit approval, we schedule work to limit outages. We perform lockout/tagout procedures, preserve finishes, and perform installations according to NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer specs. We mark panels, torque terminations to required standards, and test ground fault and arc fault protection, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once powered up, we verify systems, demonstrate operation, and document warranties and maintenance schedules.
Final inspection validates punch-list closure, inspector sign-off, and post installation support details.
