From emergency egress lighting to selective coordination and arc-fault mitigation, we develop robust distribution that aligns with equipment requirements and landlord requirements. Low-voltage pathways, metering, and surge protection are documented, planned, and tested, delivering a compliant, maintainable, and scalable electrical environment.
Safety-Focused Practices and Code Compliance
We deliver 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 enforce Lockout/Tagout to ensure zero-energy verification before any work begins. We pull the required permits, coordinate inspections, and supply as-built records to confirm your system passes on the first review.
NEC & Seattle Codes
Though each project is one-of-a-kind, our work is built on the same core principles: strict alignment 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 confirm conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and fault-current ratings, then document computations for inspection.
You'll observe compliant service entrance designs with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We implement Article 250 approaches, validate electrode continuity, and test impedance to restrict touch voltage during a ground fault. We also ensure AFCI/GFCI protection where needed, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, wiring techniques, and penetrations comply with listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and inspection-ready compliance reports.
PPE and Lockout/Tagout Procedures
Founded upon compliant design and installation, field work follows strict PPE and lockout/tagout controls to keep energized hazards at bay. You identify 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 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 validated on a known source before and after testing.
You maintain control of keys, establish boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no equipment is re-energized prematurely. You confirm again zero energy state before removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring machinery carefully and safely.
Permits and Inspections
Before a single conductor gets installed, permits and inspections establish the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You secure the appropriate permit scope, confirm fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to stop 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 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 keep as-builts accurate, address red tags immediately, and initiate re-inspections only when corrections are verified. Final sign-off aligns with panel schedules, torque records, and test results.
Clear Costs and Transparent Communication
We provide you with an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, check here permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We outline total cost and scope before work starts, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. While work progresses, we deliver easy-to-understand updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Clear, Itemized Cost Breakdowns
Expect upfront, itemized estimates that detail labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work commences. You obtain a comprehensive breakdown connected 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 understand what's needed and why.
We utilize standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for cost transparency. Should field conditions differ—buried junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we update the estimate for precision and code adherence, 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.
No Concealed Fees
Though scopes change during real-world work, our pricing never obscures extras. You obtain upfront billing tied to defined tasks, materials, and code-compliant methods, so there are no surprises when we examine a panel or trace a circuit. We offer a flat rate for each approved scope segment, determined by labor hours, parts specifications, and required permits. If conditions require a change, we pause, price it, and seek your authorization.
Our rate structure aligns with NEC-driven protocols and safety best practices. You'll see clear costs for service-entrance work, grounding upgrades, AFCIs, or GFCIs. We also offer bundle discounts when you group related services—like panel upgrades with surge protection—lowering total labor mobilizations. Honest numbers, documented assumptions, and guaranteed pricing safeguard your safety, budget, and schedule.
Clear-Language Modifications
Transparent pricing requires equally transparent updates. We provide straightforward updates that transform NEC standards, load calculations, and permit processes into specific actions, timelines, and costs. We highlight scope changes instantly, document their code drivers, and outline 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 described in easy-to-understand terms. If we recommend electrical panel derating or arc-fault safety measures, we break down the potential hazard, relevant standard, and pricing before work proceeds.
Additionally, you'll receive community updates on outages, inspections, and city initiatives, plus helpful energy tips—like LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to minimize usage while maintaining compliance and safety.
Project Workflow: From Consultation Through Final Walkthrough
Before any tools come out, we begin with a detailed on-site consultation to establish scope, load requirements, code specifications, and safety priorities. We validate service capacity, chart circuits, assess grounding/bonding needs, and note access or shutoff procedures. You'll receive a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a fixed-scope proposal with specified materials and permit requirements.
Upon permit approval, we arrange work to limit outages. We perform lockout/tagout procedures, protect finishes, and complete installations in compliance with NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer specifications. We label panels, torque terminations to specification, and test GFCI and AFCI devices, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once energized, we validate systems, show operation, and document warranty information and maintenance schedules.
The final walkthrough verifies punch-list closure, inspector sign-off, and post installation support details.
