Covering everything from emergency egress lighting through selective coordination to arc-fault mitigation, we engineer dependable distribution that aligns with equipment specifications and landlord requirements. Metering, low-voltage pathways, and surge protection are documented, planned, and tested, providing a maintainable, compliant, and scalable electrical environment.
Safety-Focused Practices and Code Compliance
You require 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 starts. We secure the required permits, coordinate inspections, and provide as-built records to ensure your system passes on the first review.
NEC and Seattle Codes
Even though every project is unique, our work is built on the same basis: strict conformity to the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You get 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 calculations for inspection.
You will see compliant service entrance layouts with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We utilize Article 250 procedures, validate 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 techniques, and penetrations adhere to listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and inspection-compliant compliance reports.
Personal Protective Equipment and LOTO
Building on compliant design and installation, field work maintains 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 matched to 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 retain control of access keys, establish boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no machinery is re-energized prematurely. You re-verify zero energy state prior to removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring machinery methodically and safely.
Building Permits and Inspections
Prior to a single conductor is pulled, permits and inspections set the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You acquire the appropriate permit scope, validate fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to avoid 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 prepare work for each inspection, employing a thorough 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 keep as-builts accurate, resolve red tags promptly, and initiate re-inspections only when corrections are confirmed. Final sign-off matches panel schedules, torque documentation, and test results.
Honest Pricing and Clear Communication
You receive 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 commences, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. During the project, we give you easy-to-understand updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Clear, Itemized Cost Breakdowns
Count on upfront, itemized estimates that detail labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work commences. You receive a detailed breakdown aligned with scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI specifications, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We synchronize each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you know what's needed and why.
We use standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for cost transparency. If field conditions change—buried junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we update the estimate for accuracy and compliance, 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 Hidden Fees
Though scopes change during real-world work, our pricing never conceals extras. You get upfront billing connected to defined tasks, materials, and code-compliant methods, so there are no surprises when we examine a panel or trace a circuit. We quote a flat rate for each approved scope segment, calculated from labor hours, parts specifications, and required permits. If conditions require a change, we pause, price it, and seek your authorization.
Our fee system complies with NEC-driven standards and safety best practices. You'll find transparent costs for AFCIs, GFCIs, service-entrance work, or grounding upgrades. We also provide bundle discounts when you group related services—like panel upgrades with surge protection—decreasing total labor mobilizations. Clear calculations, documented assumptions, and fixed pricing preserve your timeline, financial plan, and safety.
Simple-Language Revisions
Clear pricing only works when updates are just as clear. You'll receive clear communications that convert NEC standards, load calculations, and permit steps into specific actions, timelines, and costs. We highlight scope changes right away, record their code drivers, and detail safety impacts so you can approve with confidence.
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 presented in clear language. Should we recommend electrical panel derating or arc-fault safety measures, we break down the safety risk, code standard, and cost prior to beginning work.
Additionally, you'll receive community updates on outages, inspections, and city initiatives, plus useful energy tips—like LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to reduce usage while ensuring compliance and safety.
Project Process: From Consultation to Final Walkthrough
Before we begin any physical work, we begin with a thorough on-site consultation to determine scope, load requirements, code specifications, and safety priorities. We validate service capacity, map circuits, determine grounding/bonding specifications, and document access or shutoff procedures. You will get a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a clearly defined proposal with itemized materials and permit requirements.
Following permit approval, we schedule work to limit outages. We perform lockout/tagout procedures, preserve finishes, and execute installations according to NEC, local amendments, get more info and manufacturer specs. We identify panels, torque terminations to required standards, and test GFCI/AFCI, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once activated, we validate systems, demonstrate operation, and document warranty details and maintenance requirements.
