You receive systematically planned conduit routing, labeling standards, and termination practices that facilitate future expansion. We schedule shutdowns, deliver temporary power, and sequence cutovers to preserve uptime.
Covering everything from emergency egress lighting through selective coordination to arc-fault mitigation, we build stable distribution that aligns with equipment specs and landlord stipulations. Metering, low-voltage pathways, and surge protection are planned, documented, and tested, delivering a maintainable, compliant, and scalable electrical system.
Safety-Priority Practices and Code Compliance
You expect 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 implement 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 National Electrical Code
Although each project is different, our work maintains the same basis: strict compliance 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 verify 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 utilize Article 250 techniques, verify electrode continuity, and test impedance to minimize touch voltage during a ground fault. We also make certain AFCI/GFCI protection where required, 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 ready-for-inspection compliance reports.
Personal Protective Equipment and Lockout/Tagout Systems
Founded upon compliant design and installation, field work follows 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 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 validated on a known source before and after testing.
You retain control of lock keys, post boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no device is re-energized prematurely. You re-verify zero energy state before removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring machinery carefully and safely.
Licensing and Inspections
In advance of a single conductor is pulled, permits and inspections establish the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You obtain the appropriate permit scope, validate fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to stop idle crews and rushed work. You review NEC, WAC, and Seattle DCI requirements, documenting load calculations, conductor sizing, grounding, bonding, AFCI/GFCI locations, and fault-current ratings.
You prepare work for each inspection, employing 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 maintain as-builts up-to-date, address red tags without delay, and submit re-inspections only when corrections are validated. Final sign-off matches panel schedules, torque specifications, and test results.
Open Costs and Clear Communication
We provide you with 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 plain‑language updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Upfront, Detailed Price Quotes
Expect upfront, comprehensive estimates that outline labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work starts. You are provided with a comprehensive breakdown connected to scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI demands, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We synchronize each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you see what's mandated and why.
We utilize standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for cost transparency. Should field conditions change—buried junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we update the estimate for accuracy and compliance, with your approval first. You'll be informed of timelines, access specifications, utility coordination, and shutoff plans. Our documentation explains warranty terms, submittals, and disposal methods, guaranteeing safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.
No Hidden Fees
Although scopes evolve during real-world work, our pricing never hides extras. You get 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 provide a flat rate for each approved scope segment, based on labor hours, parts specifications, and required permits. If conditions necessitate a change, we stop, price it, and obtain your authorization.
Our rate structure aligns with NEC-driven procedures and safety best practices. We provide transparent costs for AFCIs, GFCIs, service-entrance work, or grounding upgrades. We also provide bundle discounts when you bundle related tasks—like panel upgrades with surge protection—reducing total labor mobilizations. Straightforward pricing, documented assumptions, and guaranteed pricing preserve your timeline, financial plan, and safety.
Plain-Language Updates
Transparent pricing requires equally transparent updates. You'll get plain-language briefings that translate NEC standards, load calculations, and permit procedures into specific actions, timelines, and costs. We highlight scope changes right away, record their code drivers, and document safety impacts so you can approve with confidence.
We schedule milestones, provide written change orders, and timestamp progress photos. You get circuit labeling, breaker sizing, GFCI/AFCI positioning, and grounding improvements presented in read more clear language. Should we recommend panel derating or arc-fault protection, we break down the risk, the standard, and the price before any work starts.
You'll also receive community updates on outages, inspections, and city initiatives, plus helpful energy advice—like LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to lower usage while ensuring compliance and safety.
Project Workflow: From Consultation to Final Walkthrough
Prior to bringing out any equipment, we start with a comprehensive on-site consultation to define scope, load requirements, code compliance requirements, and safety priorities. We validate service capacity, map circuits, identify grounding/bonding requirements, and document access or shutoff procedures. You will get a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a clearly defined proposal with specified materials and permit requirements.
Upon permit approval, we arrange work to limit outages. We lockout/tagout, safeguard finishes, and execute installations in compliance with NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer specifications. We label panels, torque terminations to required standards, and test GFCI/AFCI, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once activated, we commission systems, present operation, and document warranty details and maintenance schedules.
Final inspection validates punch-list closure, inspector sign-off, and post installation support details.
