We handle Tenant fit outs, workplace electrical upgrades, electrical panel upgrades, and electrical service capacity expansions sized to actual load profiles. You receive systematically planned conduit routing, labeling standards, and termination practices that enable future expansion. We plan shutdowns, deliver temporary power, and orchestrate cutovers to preserve uptime.
From emergency egress lighting to selective coordination and arc-fault mitigation, we build stable distribution that adheres to equipment specifications and landlord stipulations. Metering, low-voltage pathways, and surge protection are designed, documented, and verified, providing a maintainable, compliant, and scalable electrical system.
Code Compliance and Safety-Focused Practices
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 enforce Lockout/Tagout so you get zero-energy verification before any work begins. We secure the required permits, coordinate inspections, and deliver as-built records to confirm your system passes on the first review.
Seattle Codes and National Electrical Code
Although every project is one-of-a-kind, our work follows the same fundamental approach: strict conformity to the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You obtain designs and installations that satisfy 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'll see compliant service entrance arrangements with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We employ Article 250 procedures, confirm electrode continuity, and test impedance to restrict touch voltage during a ground fault. We also verify AFCI/GFCI protection where needed, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, wiring approaches, and penetrations adhere to listing read more instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and code-compliant compliance reports.
Personal Protective Equipment and LOTO
Founded upon compliant design and installation, field work follows strict PPE and lockout/tagout controls to keep energized hazards at bay. You determine 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 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 confirmed on a known source before and after testing.
You keep control of keys, post boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no device is re-energized before clearance. You confirm again zero energy state prior to removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring devices methodically and safely.
Licensing and Inspections
Before a single conductor gets installed, permits and inspections establish 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 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 precise 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 up-to-date, remedy red tags immediately, and initiate re-inspections only when corrections are verified. Final sign-off matches panel schedules, torque records, and test results.
Transparent Fees and Clear Communication
You receive an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We specify total cost and scope before work begins, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. While work progresses, we deliver easy-to-understand updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Upfront, Detailed Price Quotes
Rely on upfront, line-by-line estimates that clarify labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work commences. You get a thorough breakdown tied to scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI specifications, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We tie each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you understand what's mandated and why.
We utilize standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for transparent pricing. When field conditions vary—hidden junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we revise the estimate for precision and code adherence, with your approval first. You'll know timelines, access requirements, utility coordination, and shutoff plans. Our documentation details warranty terms, submittals, and disposal methods, ensuring safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.
No Secret Charges
Although scopes change during real-world work, our pricing never conceals extras. You get upfront billing tied 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 provide a flat rate for each approved scope segment, based on labor hours, parts specifications, and required permits. If conditions require a change, we halt, price it, and seek your authorization.
Our cost structure adheres to NEC-driven protocols and safety best practices. You'll see transparent costs for AFCIs, GFCIs, service-entrance work, or grounding upgrades. We also provide bundle discounts when you combine related tasks—like panel upgrades with surge protection—lowering total labor mobilizations. Straightforward pricing, documented assumptions, and locked pricing protect your safety, budget, and schedule.
Plain-Language Updates
Straightforward pricing demands equally straightforward updates. You'll get plain-language briefings that translate NEC standards, load calculations, and permit procedures into tangible actions, timelines, and costs. We highlight scope changes immediately, document their code drivers, and detail safety impacts so you can authorize with certainty.
We organize milestones, furnish written change orders, and record timestamped progress images. You'll see circuit labels, breaker sizes, GFCI/AFCI placements, and grounding upgrades explained in straightforward language. Should we recommend electrical panel derating or arc-fault safety measures, we break down the safety risk, code standard, and cost prior to beginning work.
You'll also receive community updates on service interruptions, system inspections, and local initiatives, plus useful energy advice—like LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to minimize usage while preserving compliance and safety.
Project Process: From Consultation Through Final Walkthrough
Before we begin any physical work, we initiate a detailed on-site consultation to determine scope, load requirements, code specifications, and safety priorities. We verify service capacity, document circuits, identify grounding/bonding requirements, and record access or shutoff procedures. You'll receive a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a clearly defined proposal with listed materials and permit requirements.
Following permit approval, we arrange work to reduce outages. We perform lockout/tagout procedures, safeguard finishes, and complete installations per NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer requirements. We label panels, torque terminations to required standards, and test GFCI and AFCI devices, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once activated, we commission systems, demonstrate operation, and document warranty details and maintenance tasks.
