We deliver properly coordinated conduit routing, labeling standards, and termination practices that support future expansion. We stage shutdowns, furnish temporary power, and coordinate cutovers to preserve uptime.
Covering everything from emergency egress lighting through selective coordination to arc-fault mitigation, we construct stable distribution that adheres to equipment specifications and landlord stipulations. Surge protection, metering, and low-voltage pathways are designed, documented, and verified, creating a compliant, maintainable, and scalable electrical environment.
Safety-Focused 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 use task-appropriate PPE and maintain Lockout/Tagout to ensure zero-energy verification before any work starts. We secure the required permits, coordinate inspections, and provide as-built records to ensure your system passes on the first review.
NEC and Seattle Codes
While each project is different, our work is built on the same basis: strict conformity to 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 validate conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and fault-current ratings, then document computations for inspection.
You'll see compliant service entrance arrangements with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We employ Article 250 approaches, verify electrode continuity, and test impedance to limit touch voltage during a ground fault. We also guarantee AFCI/GFCI protection where needed, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, wiring approaches, and penetrations conform to listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and inspection-compliant compliance reports.
Personal Protective Equipment and LOTO
Based on compliant design and installation, field work adheres to 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 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 verified on a known source before and after testing.
You keep control of access keys, establish boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no device is re-energized prematurely. You re-verify zero energy state prior to removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring machinery systematically and securely.
Permits Plus Inspections
In advance of a single conductor gets pulled, permits and inspections define the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You secure the right permit scope, verify fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to stop 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 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 promptly, and request re-inspections only when corrections are verified. Final sign-off aligns with panel schedules, torque specifications, and test results.
Clear Rates and Open Communication
You get an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We specify the complete scope and total cost before work starts, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. During the project, we provide easy-to-understand updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Upfront, Itemized Estimates
Expect upfront, itemized estimates that detail labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work begins. You are provided with a complete breakdown linked to scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI requirements, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We align each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you recognize what's mandated and why.
We use standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for clear cost visibility. If field conditions vary—buried junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we revise the estimate for accuracy and compliance, with your approval first. You'll understand timelines, access specifications, utility coordination, and shutoff plans. Our documentation explains warranty terms, submittals, and disposal methods, providing safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.
No Hidden Fees
Although scopes shift during real-world work, our pricing never conceals extras. You receive upfront billing linked to defined tasks, materials, and code-compliant methods, so there are no surprises when we examine a panel or trace a circuit. We quote 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 seek your authorization.
Our rate structure aligns with NEC-driven standards and safety best practices. You'll receive transparent costs for grounding enhancements, service-entrance installations, GFCIs, or AFCIs. We also provide bundle discounts when you bundle related projects—like panel upgrades with surge protection—reducing total labor mobilizations. Straightforward pricing, documented assumptions, and fixed pricing safeguard your schedule, budget, and safety.
Clear-Language Updates
Clear pricing only works when updates are just as clear. You'll get plain-language briefings that translate NEC requirements, load calculations, and permit steps into tangible actions, timelines, and costs. We identify scope changes immediately, document their code drivers, and outline safety impacts so you can make informed decisions.
We establish project milestones, deliver documented change orders, and capture timestamped progress photographs. You receive circuit labeling, breaker sizing, GFCI/AFCI positioning, and grounding improvements in simple terms. If we recommend electrical panel derating or arc-fault safety measures, we break down the risk, the standard, and the price prior to beginning work.
You'll also receive community updates on outages, infrastructure inspections, and community programs, plus useful energy recommendations—including LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to lower usage while preserving compliance and safety.
Project Journey: From Consultation Through Final Walkthrough
Before any tools come out, we start with a comprehensive on-site consultation to define scope, load requirements, code constraints, and safety priorities. We verify service capacity, chart circuits, determine grounding/bonding requirements, and note access or shutoff procedures. You'll receive a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a detailed scope proposal with itemized materials and permit requirements.
Upon permit approval, we schedule work to limit outages. We implement lockout/tagout protocols, protect finishes, and execute installations in compliance with NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer specs. We mark panels, torque terminations to specification, and test ground fault and arc fault protection, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once powered up, we commission systems, present operation, and document warranty details and maintenance schedules.
