We deliver systematically planned conduit routing, label standards, and termination practices that support future expansion. We organize shutdowns, provide temporary power, and sequence cutovers to ensure uptime.
Covering everything from emergency egress lighting through selective coordination to arc-fault mitigation, we build reliable distribution that aligns with equipment requirements and landlord standards. Low-voltage pathways, metering, and surge protection are planned, documented, and tested, ensuring a maintainable, compliant, and scalable electrical environment.
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 enforce Lockout/Tagout to ensure zero-energy verification before any work starts. We obtain the required permits, coordinate inspections, and provide as-built records to confirm your system passes on the first review.
Seattle Codes and NEC
Though every project is distinct, our work follows the same basis: strict alignment with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You obtain designs and installations that conform to the latest adopted editions, including Seattle's local amendments. We confirm conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and fault-current ratings, then document specifications for inspection.
You'll see compliant service entrance configurations with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We employ Article 250 methods, check electrode continuity, and test impedance to reduce touch voltage during a ground fault. We also guarantee AFCI/GFCI protection where required, 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 code-compliant compliance reports.
PPE and Lockout/Tagout
Founded upon 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 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 instruments validated on a known source before and after testing.
You maintain control of lock keys, post boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no device is re-energized too early. You confirm again zero energy state prior to removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring equipment methodically and safely.
Permits & Inspections
Before a single conductor gets installed, permits and inspections define the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You acquire the correct permit scope, verify 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 current, 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.
Honest Rates and Straightforward Communication
You receive an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We specify total cost and scope before work commences, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. Throughout the job, we deliver easy-to-understand updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Upfront, Itemized Estimates
Expect upfront, line-by-line estimates that clarify labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work starts. You receive a thorough breakdown connected to scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI needs, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We align each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you see what's mandated and why.
We employ standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for cost transparency. If field conditions differ—buried junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we adjust the estimate for accuracy and compliance, with your approval first. You'll understand timelines, access specifications, utility coordination, and shutoff plans. Our documentation details warranty terms, submittals, and disposal methods, ensuring safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.
No Concealed Fees
Although scopes shift during real-world work, our pricing never hides extras. You get upfront billing connected to defined tasks, materials, and code-compliant methods, so no hidden charges emerge 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 require a change, we pause, price it, and seek your authorization.
Our cost structure adheres to NEC-driven protocols and safety best practices. We provide clear costs for GFCIs, AFCIs, grounding upgrades, or service-entrance work. We also provide bundle discounts when you group related projects—like panel upgrades with surge protection—lowering total labor mobilizations. Transparent math, documented assumptions, and set pricing protect your schedule, budget, and safety.
Clear-Language Updates
Straightforward pricing demands equally straightforward updates. You'll get plain-language briefings that translate NEC standards, load calculations, and permit steps into specific actions, timelines, and costs. We highlight scope changes right away, document their code drivers, and detail safety impacts so you can make informed decisions.
We set clear milestones, supply written modification orders, and document progress with timestamped photos. You receive 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 clarify the potential hazard, relevant standard, and pricing before we proceed with the work.
You'll additionally obtain community updates on outages, infrastructure inspections, and community programs, plus helpful energy suggestions—such as LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to decrease usage while maintaining compliance and safety.
Project Workflow: From Initial Consultation to Final Walkthrough
Before we begin any physical work, we start with a detailed on-site consultation to define scope, load requirements, code constraints, and safety priorities. We confirm service capacity, map circuits, assess grounding/bonding specifications, and note access or shutoff procedures. We'll provide you with a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a detailed scope proposal with itemized materials and permit requirements.
Following permit approval, we arrange work to reduce outages. We lockout/tagout, protect finishes, and complete installations per NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer requirements. We identify panels, torque terminations to required standards, and test ground fault and arc fault protection, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once energized, we verify systems, demonstrate operation, and document warranty details and maintenance requirements.
