Our clients benefit from carefully coordinated conduit routing, label standards, and termination practices that facilitate future expansion. We schedule shutdowns, furnish temporary power, and orchestrate cutovers to sustain uptime.
Covering everything from emergency egress lighting through selective coordination to arc-fault mitigation, we develop stable distribution that meets equipment requirements and landlord standards. Metering, low-voltage pathways, and surge protection are planned, documented, and tested, creating a compliant, maintainable, and scalable electrical infrastructure.
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 wear task-appropriate PPE and implement Lockout/Tagout to ensure zero-energy verification before any work commences. We obtain the required permits, coordinate inspections, and deliver as-built records to guarantee your system passes on the first review.
NEC & Seattle Codes
While every project is different, our work follows the same core principles: strict compliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You receive designs and installations that meet 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 will see compliant service entrance layouts with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We utilize Article 250 procedures, confirm electrode continuity, and test impedance to minimize touch voltage during a ground fault. We also confirm AFCI/GFCI protection where mandated, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, wiring methods, and penetrations follow listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and inspection-compliant compliance reports.
Personal Protective Equipment and Lockout/Tagout
Based 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 lack 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 confirmed on a known source before and after testing.
You keep control of access keys, post boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no equipment is re-energized prematurely. You confirm again zero energy state in advance of removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring devices methodically and safely.
Required Permits and Inspections
Prior to a single conductor gets installed, permits and inspections define the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You obtain the right permit scope, validate 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 stage work for each inspection, using 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 ensure as-builts accurate, address red tags immediately, and submit re-inspections only when corrections are validated. Final sign-off matches panel schedules, torque documentation, and test results.
Honest Rates and Open Communication
We provide you with an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We state scope and total cost before work commences, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. Throughout the job, we provide clear, straightforward updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Upfront, Detailed Price Quotes
Depend on upfront, detailed estimates that detail labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work kicks off. You receive a detailed breakdown aligned with scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI demands, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We tie each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you understand what's required and why.
We use standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for transparent pricing. When field conditions differ—buried junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we revise the estimate for accuracy and compliance, with your approval first. You'll know timelines, access requirements, utility coordination, and shutoff plans. Our documentation clarifies warranty terms, submittals, and disposal methods, ensuring safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.
No Secret Charges
Though scopes evolve 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 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 necessitate a change, we pause, price it, and obtain your authorization.
Our rate structure aligns with NEC-driven standards and safety best practices. We provide clear costs for grounding enhancements, service-entrance installations, GFCIs, or AFCIs. We also offer bundle discounts when you bundle related jobs—like panel upgrades with surge protection—reducing total labor mobilizations. Honest numbers, documented assumptions, and fixed pricing safeguard your safety, budget, and schedule.
Plain-Language Updates
Straightforward pricing demands equally straightforward updates. We provide straightforward updates that transform NEC regulations, load calculations, and permit procedures into specific actions, timelines, and costs. We flag scope changes right away, record their code drivers, and outline safety impacts so you can authorize with certainty.
We schedule milestones, provide written change orders, and timestamp progress photos. You receive circuit labels, breaker sizes, GFCI/AFCI placements, and grounding upgrades explained in straightforward language. If we propose derating your panel or installing arc-fault protection, we clarify the potential hazard, relevant standard, and pricing before we proceed with the work.
You will also get community updates on power outages, facility inspections, and municipal programs, plus practical energy suggestions—such as LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to decrease usage while ensuring compliance and safety.
Project Process: From Initial Consultation to Final Walkthrough
Before any tools come out, we begin with a detailed on-site consultation to determine scope, load requirements, code compliance requirements, and safety priorities. We validate service capacity, map circuits, identify grounding/bonding needs, and document access or shutoff procedures. You will get a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a fixed-scope proposal with specified materials and permit requirements.
After permit approval, we schedule work to limit outages. We perform lockout/tagout procedures, preserve finishes, and perform installations in compliance with NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer specifications. We identify panels, torque terminations to spec, read more and test ground fault and arc fault protection, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once powered up, we verify systems, show operation, and document warranty information and maintenance requirements.
