We coordinate shutdowns, furnish temporary power, and coordinate cutovers to ensure uptime.
Spanning emergency egress lighting, selective coordination, and arc-fault mitigation, we engineer dependable distribution that meets equipment specs and landlord stipulations. Low-voltage pathways, metering, and surge protection are designed, documented, and verified, creating a maintainable, compliant, and scalable electrical infrastructure.
Code Compliance and Safety-Priority Practices
We deliver strict adherence to the NEC and Seattle Electrical Code, with clear documentation of conductor sizing, grounding, and fault protection. We utilize task-appropriate PPE and implement Lockout/Tagout to ensure zero-energy verification before any work commences. We pull 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 distinct, our work maintains the same foundation: strict alignment with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You get designs and installations that meet the latest adopted editions, including Seattle's local amendments. We check conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and fault-current ratings, then document computations for inspection.
You will see compliant service entrance layouts with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We follow Article 250 procedures, validate electrode continuity, and test impedance to reduce touch voltage during a ground fault. We also ensure AFCI/GFCI protection where required, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, wiring methods, and penetrations conform to listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and inspection-compliant compliance reports.
PPE and Lockout/Tagout Procedures
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 absence 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, set perimeters, and coordinate shift changes so no equipment is re-energized too early. You re-verify zero energy state prior to removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring devices systematically and securely.
Licensing and Inspections
Before a single conductor gets installed, permits and inspections define 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 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 detailed inspection checklist: rough-in box fill, staple spacing, derating, conduit support intervals, equipment working clearances, service disconnect labeling, bonding jumpers, and arc-fault/GFCI protection verification. You ensure as-builts current, remedy red tags immediately, and submit re-inspections only when corrections are confirmed. Final sign-off aligns with panel schedules, torque specifications, and test results.
Open Rates and Direct Communication
We provide you with an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We specify scope and total cost before work starts, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. While work progresses, we give you plain‑language updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Upfront, Itemized Estimates
Expect upfront, detailed estimates that outline labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work starts. You are provided with a complete breakdown connected to scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI specifications, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We match each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you know what's necessary and why.
We use standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for cost transparency. If field conditions differ—buried junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we adjust the estimate for accuracy and compliance, with your approval first. You'll know 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 Hidden Fees
While scopes evolve during real-world work, our pricing never conceals extras. You obtain upfront billing connected to defined tasks, materials, and code-compliant methods, so there are no surprises 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 require a change, we stop, price it, and wait for your authorization.
Our pricing framework follows NEC-driven procedures and safety best practices. You'll find detailed costs for service-entrance work, grounding upgrades, AFCIs, or GFCIs. We also feature bundle discounts when you combine related projects—like panel upgrades with surge protection—lowering total labor mobilizations. Honest numbers, documented assumptions, and locked pricing safeguard your timeline, financial plan, and safety.
Simple-Language Updates
Clear pricing only works when updates are just as clear. You'll receive clear communications that convert NEC regulations, load calculations, and permit procedures into specific actions, timelines, and costs. We highlight scope changes right away, document 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 explained in straightforward language. When we suggest panel derating or arc-fault protection, we clarify the safety risk, code standard, and cost before work proceeds.
You'll additionally obtain community updates on outages, infrastructure inspections, and community programs, plus practical energy tips—like LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to lower usage while ensuring compliance and safety.
Project Journey: From Consultation Through Final Walkthrough
Before any tools come out, we initiate a thorough on-site consultation to establish scope, load requirements, code compliance requirements, and safety priorities. We validate service capacity, document circuits, assess grounding/bonding specifications, 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.
After permit approval, we arrange work to minimize outages. We perform lockout/tagout procedures, preserve finishes, and execute installations in compliance with NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer requirements. We identify panels, torque terminations to required standards, and test ground fault and arc fault protection, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once energized, we commission systems, show operation, and document warranty information and maintenance tasks.
Final walkthrough confirms punch-list closure, inspector sign-off, and post installation support details.
