You obtain scoped designs, stamped drawings, and seamless installations that work with base-building systems without disrupting revenue hours.
We manage tenant fit-outs, commercial rewiring, panel upgrades, and power capacity enhancements calibrated to actual load profiles. You receive properly coordinated conduit routing, marking conventions, and termination practices that facilitate future expansion. We coordinate shutdowns, offer temporary power, and schedule cutovers to ensure uptime.
Covering everything from emergency egress lighting through selective coordination to arc-fault mitigation, we develop robust distribution that aligns with equipment specifications and landlord requirements. Surge protection, metering, and low-voltage pathways are designed, documented, and verified, delivering a compliant, maintainable, and scalable electrical system.
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 maintain Lockout/Tagout to ensure zero-energy verification before any work begins. We obtain the required permits, coordinate inspections, and supply as-built records to confirm your system passes on the first review.
Seattle Codes and NEC
Although each project is one-of-a-kind, our work follows the same core principles: strict adherence to the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You receive designs and installations that satisfy the latest adopted editions, including Seattle's local amendments. We confirm conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and fault-current ratings, then document specifications for inspection.
You'll observe compliant service entrance layouts with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We follow Article 250 techniques, validate electrode continuity, and test impedance to reduce touch voltage during a ground fault. We also ensure AFCI/GFCI protection where necessary, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, wiring methods, and penetrations adhere to listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and code-compliant compliance reports.
Personal Protective Equipment and LOTO
Building on compliant design and installation, field work maintains strict PPE and lockout/tagout controls to keep energized hazards at bay. You identify 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 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 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 too early. You re-verify zero energy state in advance of removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring equipment systematically and securely.
Building Permits and Inspections
Prior to a single conductor gets pulled, permits and inspections set the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You obtain the right permit scope, validate fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to stop 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 organize work for every inspection, utilizing 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 current, remedy red tags immediately, and submit re-inspections only when corrections are validated. Final sign-off corresponds to panel schedules, torque specifications, and test results.
Transparent Costs and Straightforward Communication
You get 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 commences, 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.
Clear, Detailed Estimates
Expect upfront, detailed estimates that detail labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work commences. You receive a comprehensive breakdown tied to scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI needs, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We match each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you know what's needed and why.
We utilize standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for cost transparency. When field conditions differ—hidden junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we adjust 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, providing 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 receive upfront billing connected to defined tasks, materials, and code-compliant methods, so you won't face unexpected costs 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 require a change, we pause, price it, and obtain your authorization.
Our fee system complies with NEC-driven procedures and safety best practices. You'll find detailed costs for GFCIs, AFCIs, grounding upgrades, or service-entrance work. We also include bundle discounts when you package related jobs—like panel upgrades with surge protection—reducing total labor mobilizations. Transparent math, documented assumptions, and locked pricing secure your budget, schedule, and safety.
Plain-Language Revisions
Transparent pricing requires equally transparent updates. You'll receive clear communications that convert NEC regulations, load calculations, and permit steps into tangible actions, timelines, and costs. We highlight scope changes immediately, record their code drivers, and outline safety impacts so you can authorize with certainty.
We here set clear milestones, supply written modification orders, and document progress with timestamped photos. You'll see circuit labeling, breaker sizing, GFCI/AFCI positioning, and grounding improvements presented in clear language. Should we recommend panel capacity reduction or arc-fault protection systems, we explain the safety risk, code standard, and cost before any work starts.
You'll also receive community updates on power outages, facility inspections, and municipal programs, plus helpful energy recommendations—including LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to minimize usage while ensuring compliance and safety.
Project Journey: From Initial Consultation to Final Walkthrough
Before we begin any physical work, we initiate a detailed on-site consultation to define scope, load requirements, code compliance requirements, and safety priorities. We verify service capacity, map circuits, assess grounding/bonding specifications, and document access or shutoff procedures. You will get a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a detailed scope proposal with specified materials and permit requirements.
Following permit approval, we arrange work to limit outages. We implement lockout/tagout protocols, preserve finishes, and complete installations per NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer specifications. We identify panels, torque terminations to spec, and test GFCI and AFCI devices, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once energized, we verify systems, show operation, and document warranties and maintenance requirements.
