Covering everything from emergency egress lighting through selective coordination to arc-fault mitigation, we engineer dependable distribution that meets equipment requirements and landlord standards. Low-voltage pathways, metering, and surge protection are designed, documented, and verified, ensuring a scalable, compliant, and maintainable electrical infrastructure.
Safety-First Practices and Code Compliance
We deliver strict adherence to the NEC and Seattle Electrical Code, with clear documentation of conductor sizing, grounding, and fault protection. We wear task-appropriate PPE and maintain Lockout/Tagout to ensure zero-energy verification before any work begins. We secure the required permits, coordinate inspections, and provide as-built records to ensure your system passes on the first review.
Seattle Codes and NEC
Though each project is unique, our work maintains the same foundation: strict compliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You receive 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 calculations for inspection.
You'll find compliant service entrance arrangements with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We employ Article 250 techniques, validate electrode continuity, and test impedance to restrict touch voltage during a ground fault. We also make certain AFCI/GFCI protection where mandated, 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 ready-for-inspection compliance reports.
PPE and LOTO
Building on 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 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. website You use insulated tools, barriers, and test instruments validated on a known source before and after testing.
You maintain control of lock keys, post boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no machinery is re-energized prematurely. You re-verify zero energy state prior to removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring machinery carefully and safely.
Permits & Inspections
In advance of a single conductor gets 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 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 maintain as-builts up-to-date, resolve red tags immediately, and request re-inspections only when corrections are confirmed. Final sign-off aligns with panel schedules, torque documentation, and test results.
Clear Rates and Transparent Communication
We provide you with an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We outline the complete scope and total cost before work starts, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. While work progresses, we provide clear, straightforward updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Transparent, Detailed Estimates
Count on upfront, comprehensive estimates that clarify labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work kicks off. You are provided with a thorough breakdown connected to scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI specifications, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We align each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you understand what's mandated and why.
We employ standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for clear cost visibility. If field conditions change—buried junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we update the estimate for compliance and accuracy, with your approval first. You'll understand timelines, access needs, utility coordination, and shutoff plans. Our documentation explains warranty terms, submittals, and disposal methods, ensuring safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.
No Concealed Fees
While scopes evolve during real-world work, our pricing never conceals extras. You receive upfront billing connected to defined tasks, materials, and code-compliant methods, so there are no surprises when we examine a panel or trace a circuit. We offer a flat rate for each approved scope segment, determined by labor hours, parts specifications, and required permits. If conditions require a change, we pause, price it, and wait for your authorization.
Our cost structure adheres to NEC-driven standards and safety best practices. You'll receive detailed costs for service-entrance work, grounding upgrades, AFCIs, or GFCIs. We also include bundle discounts when you combine related jobs—like panel upgrades with surge protection—reducing total labor mobilizations. Transparent math, documented assumptions, and fixed pricing secure your timeline, financial plan, and safety.
Simple-Language Modifications
Straightforward pricing demands equally straightforward updates. You'll get plain-language briefings that translate NEC requirements, load calculations, and permit procedures into concrete actions, timelines, and costs. We flag scope changes right away, note their code drivers, and outline safety impacts so you can approve with confidence.
We establish project milestones, deliver documented change orders, and capture timestamped progress photographs. You see labeled circuits, breaker capacities, GFCI/AFCI installations, and grounding upgrades described in easy-to-understand terms. If we recommend panel derating or arc-fault protection, we'll explain the safety risk, code standard, and cost before we proceed with the work.
You'll additionally obtain community updates on outages, inspections, and city initiatives, plus actionable energy suggestions—such as LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to minimize usage while ensuring compliance and safety.
Project Process: From Consultation Through Final Walkthrough
Before we begin any physical work, we begin with a thorough on-site consultation to determine scope, load requirements, code constraints, and safety priorities. We validate service capacity, document circuits, identify grounding/bonding specifications, and record access or shutoff procedures. You'll receive a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a fixed-scope proposal with itemized materials and permit requirements.
Upon permit approval, we arrange work to limit outages. We implement lockout/tagout protocols, safeguard finishes, and perform installations according to NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer specs. We identify panels, torque terminations to specification, and test GFCI and AFCI devices, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once powered up, we verify systems, demonstrate operation, and document warranties and maintenance tasks.
The final walkthrough verifies punch-list closure, inspector sign-off, and post installation support details.
