Spanning emergency egress lighting, selective coordination, and arc-fault mitigation, we develop dependable distribution that aligns with equipment requirements and landlord standards. Surge protection, metering, and low-voltage pathways are documented, planned, and tested, providing a scalable, compliant, and maintainable electrical infrastructure.
Code Compliance and Safety-Priority Practices
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 maintain Lockout/Tagout so you get zero-energy verification before any work starts. We secure 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 different, our work maintains the same core principles: strict adherence to the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You receive designs and installations that conform to the latest adopted editions, including Seattle's local amendments. We validate conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and fault-current ratings, then document calculations for inspection.
You'll see compliant service entrance layouts with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We implement Article 250 procedures, check electrode continuity, and test impedance to restrict touch voltage during a ground fault. We also confirm AFCI/GFCI protection where needed, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, wiring techniques, and penetrations follow listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and inspection-ready compliance reports.
PPE and Lockout/Tagout
Based on compliant design and installation, field work adheres to 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 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 verified on a known source before and after testing.
You retain control of lock keys, post 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 equipment systematically and securely.
Permits & Inspections
Prior to a single conductor is pulled, permits and inspections define 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 organize work for every inspection, utilizing a thorough inspection checklist: rough-in box fill, staple spacing, derating, conduit support intervals, equipment working clearances, service disconnect labeling, bonding jumpers, and arc-fault/GFCI protection verification. 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 specifications, and test results.
Transparent Rates and Clear 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 easy-to-understand updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Clear, Itemized Cost Breakdowns
Expect upfront, line-by-line estimates that outline labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work starts. You obtain a detailed breakdown linked to scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI needs, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We tie each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you know what's required and why.
We employ standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for cost transparency. When 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 understand timelines, access specifications, utility check here coordination, and shutoff plans. Our documentation details warranty terms, submittals, and disposal methods, providing safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.
No Concealed Fees
While scopes shift during real-world work, our pricing never hides extras. You get upfront billing linked to defined tasks, materials, and code-compliant methods, so you won't face unexpected costs when we examine a panel or trace a circuit. We provide a flat rate for each approved scope segment, calculated from labor hours, parts specifications, and required permits. If conditions necessitate a change, we stop, price it, and obtain your authorization.
Our cost structure adheres to NEC-driven procedures and safety best practices. You'll find clear costs for service-entrance work, grounding upgrades, AFCIs, or GFCIs. We also provide bundle discounts when you group related tasks—like panel upgrades with surge protection—lowering total labor mobilizations. Transparent math, documented assumptions, and locked pricing secure your budget, schedule, and safety.
Simple-Language Revisions
Straightforward pricing demands equally straightforward updates. You'll receive clear communications that convert NEC requirements, load calculations, and permit processes into concrete actions, timelines, and costs. We flag scope changes instantly, note their code drivers, and detail safety impacts so you can approve with confidence.
We schedule milestones, provide written change orders, and timestamp progress photos. You'll see circuit identification, breaker specifications, GFCI/AFCI locations, and grounding enhancements explained in straightforward language. When we suggest panel derating or arc-fault protection, we break down the potential hazard, relevant standard, and pricing before work proceeds.
You will also get community updates on outages, inspections, and city initiatives, plus helpful energy suggestions—such as LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to reduce usage while upholding compliance and safety.
Project Workflow: From Consultation Through Final Walkthrough
Before any tools come out, we initiate a thorough on-site consultation to establish scope, load requirements, code specifications, and safety priorities. We verify service capacity, map circuits, identify grounding/bonding needs, and note access or shutoff procedures. You'll receive a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a clearly defined proposal with specified materials and permit requirements.
After permit approval, we schedule work to reduce outages. We implement lockout/tagout protocols, preserve finishes, and perform installations according to NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer specs. We mark panels, torque terminations to spec, and test GFCI/AFCI, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once energized, we commission systems, show operation, and document warranty details and maintenance requirements.
Final walkthrough confirms punch-list closure, inspector sign-off, and post installation support details.
