We deliver systematically planned conduit routing, marking conventions, and termination practices that support future expansion. We coordinate shutdowns, furnish temporary power, and manage cutovers to preserve uptime.
From emergency egress lighting to selective coordination and arc-fault mitigation, we build reliable distribution that adheres to equipment specifications and landlord stipulations. Low-voltage pathways, metering, and surge protection are documented, planned, and tested, delivering a scalable, compliant, and maintainable electrical environment.
Safety-Focused Practices and Code Compliance
You demand 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 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.
Seattle Codes and NEC
Although each project is distinct, our work follows the same foundation: strict adherence to 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 confirm conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and fault-current ratings, then document computations for inspection.
You will see compliant service entrance arrangements with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We apply Article 250 techniques, validate electrode continuity, and test impedance to limit touch voltage during a ground fault. We also make certain AFCI/GFCI protection where necessary, 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 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 lack 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 more info instruments validated on a known source before and after testing.
You keep control of keys, establish boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no machinery is re-energized prematurely. You verify again zero energy state before removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring machinery systematically and securely.
Licensing and Inspections
Before a single conductor gets installed, permits and inspections establish the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You obtain the correct permit scope, verify 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 organize work for every inspection, utilizing a precise 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 up-to-date, remedy red tags without delay, and initiate re-inspections only when corrections are validated. Final sign-off corresponds to panel schedules, torque specifications, and test results.
Honest Pricing and Direct Communication
You receive an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We state the complete scope and total cost before work commences, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. During the project, we give you clear, straightforward updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Upfront, Itemized Estimates
Count on upfront, line-by-line estimates that detail labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work begins. You receive a comprehensive breakdown aligned with scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI specifications, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We match each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you recognize what's necessary and why.
We employ standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for transparent pricing. Should field conditions differ—concealed junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we revise the estimate for precision and code adherence, with your approval first. You'll know timelines, access specifications, 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 Hidden Charges
Although scopes change during real-world work, our pricing never hides extras. You obtain upfront billing connected to defined tasks, materials, and code-compliant methods, so there are no surprises when we access 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 require a change, we halt, price it, and wait for your authorization.
Our cost structure adheres to NEC-driven processes and safety best practices. You'll see clear costs for AFCIs, GFCIs, service-entrance work, or grounding upgrades. We also feature bundle discounts when you package related tasks—like panel upgrades with surge protection—lowering total labor mobilizations. Honest numbers, documented assumptions, and locked pricing safeguard your budget, schedule, and safety.
Plain-Language Updates
Transparent pricing requires equally transparent updates. You'll receive clear communications that convert NEC standards, load calculations, and permit processes into specific actions, timelines, and costs. We identify scope changes right away, record their code drivers, and detail safety impacts so you can authorize with certainty.
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. Should we recommend derating your panel or installing arc-fault protection, we break down the risk, the standard, and the price before any work starts.
You will also get community updates on power outages, facility inspections, and municipal programs, plus practical energy tips—like LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to reduce usage while preserving compliance and safety.
Project Process: From Consultation Through 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, document circuits, determine grounding/bonding requirements, and document access or shutoff procedures. You will get a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a clearly defined proposal with listed materials and permit requirements.
Following permit approval, we schedule work to limit outages. We implement lockout/tagout protocols, protect finishes, and perform installations according to NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer specifications. We identify panels, torque terminations to specification, and test GFCI/AFCI, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once powered up, we verify systems, show operation, and document warranty details and maintenance schedules.
The final walkthrough verifies punch-list closure, inspector sign-off, and post installation support details.
