We provide coordinated conduit routing, marking conventions, and termination practices that accommodate future expansion. We organize shutdowns, supply temporary power, and orchestrate cutovers to preserve uptime.
From emergency egress lighting to selective coordination and arc-fault mitigation, we engineer robust distribution that complies with equipment specifications and landlord stipulations. Low-voltage pathways, metering, and surge protection are documented, planned, and tested, delivering a scalable, compliant, and maintainable electrical system.
Safety-Focused Practices and Code Compliance
You require 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 maintain Lockout/Tagout to ensure zero-energy verification before any work begins. We secure the required permits, coordinate inspections, and supply as-built records to ensure your system passes on the first review.
Seattle Codes and NEC
Even though every project is one-of-a-kind, our work is built on the same core principles: strict conformity to the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You get 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 will see compliant service entrance designs with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We implement Article 250 procedures, verify electrode continuity, and test impedance to limit touch voltage during a ground fault. We also confirm AFCI/GFCI protection where specified, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, wiring approaches, and penetrations comply with listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and inspection-compliant compliance reports.
Personal Protective Equipment 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 no presence 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 keep control of access keys, establish boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no machinery is re-energized too early. You verify again zero energy state in advance of removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring machinery systematically and securely.
Permits & Inspections
In advance of a single conductor gets installed, permits and inspections establish the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You acquire the appropriate permit scope, confirm fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to avoid 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 stage work for each inspection, using a thorough 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, remedy red tags without delay, and request re-inspections only when corrections are verified. Final sign-off corresponds to panel schedules, torque specifications, and test results.
Straightforward Fees and Clear Communication
You receive an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We outline the complete scope and total cost before work starts, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. During the project, we deliver easy-to-understand updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Clear, Itemized Cost Breakdowns
Rely on upfront, line-by-line estimates that spell out labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work begins. You receive a thorough breakdown aligned with scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI specifications, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We align each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you see what's needed and why.
We employ standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for transparent pricing. When field conditions change—buried junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we update the estimate for compliance and accuracy, 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, providing safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.
Transparent Pricing Only
Although scopes evolve during real-world work, our pricing never obscures extras. You obtain upfront billing connected to defined tasks, materials, and code-compliant methods, so there are no surprises when we examine 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 demand a change, we stop, price it, and wait for your authorization.
Our cost structure adheres to NEC-driven processes and safety best practices. We provide straightforward costs for GFCIs, AFCIs, grounding upgrades, or service-entrance work. We also provide bundle discounts when you package related tasks—like panel upgrades with surge protection—lowering total labor mobilizations. Clear calculations, documented assumptions, and fixed pricing safeguard your budget, schedule, and safety.
Simple-Language Updates
Straightforward pricing demands equally straightforward updates. You'll receive clear communications that convert NEC regulations, load calculations, and permit processes into specific actions, timelines, and costs. We identify scope changes immediately, note 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 get circuit identification, breaker specifications, GFCI/AFCI locations, and grounding enhancements described in easy-to-understand terms. If we recommend derating your panel or installing arc-fault protection, we break down the risks involved, applicable standards, and associated costs prior to beginning work.
You'll additionally obtain community updates on outages, infrastructure inspections, and community programs, plus actionable energy advice—like LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to minimize usage while maintaining compliance and safety.
Project Process: From Consultation Through Final Walkthrough
Prior to bringing out any equipment, we begin with a comprehensive on-site consultation to determine scope, load requirements, code specifications, and safety priorities. We validate service capacity, chart circuits, identify grounding/bonding specifications, and document access or shutoff procedures. You'll receive a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a fixed-scope proposal with listed materials and permit requirements.
Following permit approval, we arrange work to minimize outages. We lockout/tagout, protect finishes, and perform installations in compliance with NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer requirements. We mark panels, torque terminations to specification, and test GFCI/AFCI, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once activated, we verify systems, show operation, and document warranty details and maintenance schedules.
