Spanning emergency egress lighting, selective coordination, and arc-fault mitigation, we engineer dependable distribution that adheres to equipment specifications and landlord requirements. Metering, low-voltage pathways, and surge protection are designed, documented, and verified, delivering a compliant, maintainable, and scalable electrical system.
Safety-First 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 wear task-appropriate PPE and implement Lockout/Tagout to ensure zero-energy verification before any work begins. We secure the required permits, coordinate inspections, and provide as-built records to guarantee your system passes on the first review.
Seattle Codes and National Electrical Code
Even though each project is different, our work adheres to the same core principles: strict compliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You obtain designs and installations that comply with the latest adopted editions, including Seattle's local amendments. We verify conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and fault-current ratings, then document computations for inspection.
You will see compliant service entrance designs with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We utilize Article 250 methods, validate electrode continuity, and test impedance to restrict touch voltage during a ground fault. We also ensure AFCI/GFCI protection where specified, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, wiring procedures, and penetrations adhere to listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and inspection-compliant compliance reports.
PPE and Lockout/Tagout
Building on compliant design and installation, field work follows strict PPE and lockout/tagout controls to keep energized hazards at bay. You locate all energy sources, verify no presence 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 retain control of keys, post boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no machinery is re-energized too early. You verify again zero energy state prior to removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring machinery carefully and safely.
Permits and Inspections
In advance of a single conductor is pulled, permits and inspections establish the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You acquire the correct permit scope, validate fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to prevent 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: 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 up-to-date, resolve red tags immediately, and submit re-inspections only when corrections are verified. Final sign-off corresponds to panel schedules, torque records, and test results.
Clear Pricing and Straightforward Communication
You get 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. While work progresses, we deliver easy-to-understand updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Transparent, Itemized Pricing
Expect upfront, itemized estimates that clarify labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work begins. You obtain a thorough breakdown aligned with scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI requirements, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We match each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you know what's required and why.
We use standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for clear cost visibility. If field conditions change—hidden junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we update the estimate for precision and code adherence, with your approval first. You'll be informed of 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.
Transparent Pricing Only
While scopes change during real-world work, our pricing never hides extras. You receive 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 quote a flat rate for each approved scope segment, calculated from labor hours, parts specifications, and required permits. If conditions demand a change, we halt, price it, and wait for your authorization.
Our cost structure adheres to NEC-driven protocols and safety best practices. We provide clear costs for grounding enhancements, service-entrance installations, GFCIs, or AFCIs. We also feature bundle discounts when you group related tasks—like panel upgrades with surge protection—reducing total labor mobilizations. Clear calculations, documented assumptions, and guaranteed pricing safeguard your schedule, budget, and safety.
Simple-Language Revisions
Clear pricing only works when updates are just as clear. You'll receive clear communications that convert NEC standards, load calculations, and permit processes into specific actions, timelines, and costs. We flag scope changes right away, note their code drivers, and document safety impacts so you can authorize with certainty.
We schedule milestones, provide written change orders, and timestamp progress photos. You get circuit identification, breaker specifications, GFCI/AFCI locations, and grounding enhancements in simple terms. When we suggest panel derating or arc-fault protection, we explain the safety risk, code standard, and cost before work proceeds.
You will also get community updates on outages, infrastructure inspections, and community programs, plus useful energy suggestions—such as LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to reduce usage while maintaining compliance and safety.
Project Process: From Initial Consultation to Final Walkthrough
Prior to bringing out any equipment, we initiate a thorough on-site consultation to establish scope, load requirements, code compliance requirements, and safety priorities. We validate service capacity, chart circuits, assess grounding/bonding requirements, and record access or shutoff procedures. You'll receive a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a detailed scope proposal with listed materials and permit requirements.
Following permit approval, we schedule work to limit outages. We lockout/tagout, safeguard finishes, and complete installations in compliance with NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer specs. We identify panels, torque terminations to required standards, and test GFCI/AFCI, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once activated, we validate systems, present operation, and document warranty information and maintenance schedules.
Final walkthrough confirms punch-list closure, inspector sign-off, and post installation support details.
