We organize shutdowns, provide temporary power, and sequence cutovers to maintain uptime.
Spanning emergency egress lighting, selective coordination, and arc-fault mitigation, we develop dependable distribution that aligns with equipment requirements and landlord stipulations. Surge protection, metering, and low-voltage pathways are planned, documented, and tested, creating a maintainable, compliant, and scalable electrical infrastructure.
Safety-First 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 use task-appropriate PPE and implement Lockout/Tagout so you get zero-energy verification before any work begins. We pull the required permits, coordinate inspections, and provide as-built records to confirm your system passes on the first review.
Seattle Codes & NEC
While every project is unique, our work adheres to the same fundamental approach: strict alignment with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You get 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 specifications for inspection.
You will encounter compliant service entrance designs with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We follow Article 250 techniques, check electrode continuity, and test impedance to reduce 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 methods, and penetrations follow listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and inspection-ready compliance reports.
PPE and Lockout/Tagout
Founded upon compliant design and installation, field work adheres to 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 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 verified on a known source before and after testing.
You retain control of keys, establish boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no device is re-energized prematurely. You confirm again zero energy state before removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring equipment methodically and safely.
Permits and Inspections
Prior to a single conductor is pulled, permits and inspections define the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You obtain the correct permit scope, verify fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to prevent 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 stage work for each inspection, using a detailed 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 initiate re-inspections only when corrections are validated. Final sign-off matches panel schedules, torque records, and test results.
Open Costs and Clear Communication
You get an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We state total cost and scope before work starts, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. Throughout the job, we provide easy-to-understand updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Upfront, Detailed Price Quotes
Depend on upfront, itemized estimates that spell out labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work starts. You receive a comprehensive breakdown linked to scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI demands, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We match each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you understand what's required and why.
We use standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for transparent pricing. If field conditions vary—concealed 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 needs, 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 Concealed Fees
Although scopes change during real-world work, our pricing never conceals extras. You get upfront billing linked to defined tasks, materials, and code-compliant methods, so you won't face unexpected costs when we access 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 halt, price it, and obtain your authorization.
Our pricing framework follows NEC-driven protocols and safety best practices. You'll see straightforward costs for grounding enhancements, service-entrance installations, GFCIs, or AFCIs. We also provide bundle discounts when you bundle related tasks—like panel upgrades with surge protection—decreasing total labor mobilizations. Transparent math, documented assumptions, and set pricing preserve your safety, budget, and schedule.
Plain-Language Revisions
Clear pricing only works when updates are just as clear. We provide straightforward updates that transform NEC requirements, load calculations, and permit procedures into specific actions, timelines, and costs. We flag scope changes immediately, document their code drivers, and document safety impacts so you can approve with confidence.
We establish project milestones, deliver documented change orders, and capture timestamped progress photographs. You'll see circuit identification, breaker specifications, GFCI/AFCI locations, and grounding enhancements described in easy-to-understand terms. If we propose derating your panel or installing arc-fault protection, we explain the risks involved, applicable standards, and associated costs before we proceed with the work.
You will also get community updates on power outages, facility inspections, and municipal programs, plus actionable energy tips—like LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to lower usage while maintaining compliance and safety.
Project Workflow: From Initial Consultation to 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 confirm service capacity, map circuits, identify grounding/bonding specifications, and record access or shutoff procedures. You'll receive a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a detailed scope proposal with specified materials and permit requirements.
After permit approval, we arrange work to reduce outages. We implement lockout/tagout protocols, preserve finishes, and complete installations in compliance with NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer specifications. We label panels, torque terminations to spec, 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 tasks.
The final walkthrough verifies punch-list closure, inspector sign-off, and post installation support details.
