We specialize in tenant improvements, workplace electrical upgrades, electrical panel upgrades, and electrical service capacity expansions calibrated to actual load profiles. You'll get coordinated conduit routing, identification protocols, and termination practices that support future expansion. We coordinate shutdowns, provide temporary power, and coordinate cutovers to ensure uptime.
Covering everything from emergency egress lighting through selective coordination to arc-fault mitigation, we engineer robust distribution that meets equipment specifications and landlord standards. Metering, low-voltage pathways, and surge protection are planned, documented, and tested, delivering a scalable, compliant, and maintainable electrical infrastructure.
Code Compliance and Safety-First Practices
You expect 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 providing 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.
National Electrical Code and Seattle Codes
Although every project is distinct, our work adheres to the same fundamental approach: strict conformity to the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You obtain 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 specifications for inspection.
You'll find compliant service entrance layouts with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We employ Article 250 methods, confirm electrode continuity, and test impedance to reduce touch voltage during a ground fault. We also make certain AFCI/GFCI protection where necessary, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, wiring procedures, and penetrations comply with 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 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 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 verified on a known source before and after testing.
You maintain control of keys, set perimeters, and coordinate shift changes so no machinery is re-energized prematurely. You re-verify zero energy state in advance of removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring machinery carefully and safely.
Building Permits and Inspections
Prior to a single conductor is pulled, permits and inspections set the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You secure the right permit scope, verify fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to prevent idle crews and rushed work. You consult 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 thorough 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 promptly, and request re-inspections only when corrections are verified. Final sign-off aligns with panel schedules, torque specifications, and test results.
Straightforward Costs and Clear Communication
We provide you with an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We outline total cost and scope before work starts, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. Throughout the job, we give you clear, straightforward updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Upfront, Itemized Estimates
Rely on upfront, detailed estimates that detail labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work starts. You get a detailed breakdown tied to scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI needs, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We align each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you recognize what's necessary and why.
We use standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for transparent pricing. Should field conditions change—concealed junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we revise the estimate for precision and code adherence, with your approval first. You'll understand timelines, access requirements, 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 Secret Charges
Although scopes change during real-world work, our pricing never obscures extras. You obtain upfront billing tied 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, determined by labor hours, parts specifications, and required permits. If conditions require a change, we pause, price it, and obtain your authorization.
Our rate structure aligns with NEC-driven processes and safety best practices. You'll find detailed costs for AFCIs, GFCIs, service-entrance work, or grounding upgrades. We also provide bundle discounts when you group related tasks—like panel upgrades with surge protection—reducing total labor mobilizations. Honest numbers, documented assumptions, and guaranteed pricing protect your timeline, financial plan, and safety.
Clear-Language Modifications
Straightforward pricing demands equally straightforward updates. You'll receive clear communications that convert NEC standards, load calculations, and permit procedures into concrete actions, timelines, and costs. We identify scope changes right away, record their code drivers, and detail safety impacts so you can approve with confidence.
We organize milestones, furnish written change orders, and record timestamped progress images. You'll see circuit labeling, breaker sizing, GFCI/AFCI positioning, and grounding improvements explained in straightforward language. When we suggest panel derating or arc-fault protection, we'll explain the safety risk, code standard, and cost prior to beginning work.
You will also get community updates on service interruptions, system inspections, and local initiatives, plus useful energy advice—like LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to reduce usage while upholding compliance and safety.
Project Workflow: From 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 confirm service capacity, map circuits, determine grounding/bonding specifications, and note access or shutoff procedures. We'll provide you with a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a clearly defined proposal with specified materials and permit requirements.
Upon permit approval, we plan work to reduce outages. We implement lockout/tagout protocols, preserve finishes, and complete installations according to NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer requirements. We mark panels, torque terminations to specification, and test GFCI and AFCI devices, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once powered up, we validate systems, present operation, and document warranty information and maintenance schedules.
Final inspection validates punch-list closure, inspector sign-off, and post installation support details.
