We specialize in Tenant fit outs, workplace electrical upgrades, service panel enhancements, and electrical service capacity expansions calibrated to actual load profiles. We provide systematically planned conduit routing, marking conventions, and termination practices that allow for future expansion. We coordinate shutdowns, furnish temporary power, and orchestrate cutovers to protect uptime.
Spanning emergency egress lighting, selective coordination, and arc-fault mitigation, we develop stable distribution that adheres to equipment specs and landlord standards. Surge protection, metering, and low-voltage pathways are documented, planned, and tested, delivering a maintainable, compliant, and scalable electrical environment.
Safety-Priority Practices and Code Compliance
You expect 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 enforce Lockout/Tagout providing zero-energy verification before any work starts. We obtain the required permits, coordinate inspections, and supply as-built records to ensure your system passes on the first review.
Seattle Codes and National Electrical Code
Even though every project is different, our work follows the same foundation: strict compliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You get designs and installations that comply with 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 will see compliant service entrance arrangements with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We utilize Article 250 methods, confirm electrode continuity, and test impedance click here 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 adhere to listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and inspection-ready compliance reports.
Personal Protective Equipment and LOTO
Based on compliant design and installation, field work maintains 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. You use insulated tools, barriers, and test instruments confirmed on a known source before and after testing.
You keep control of keys, establish boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no device is re-energized prematurely. You confirm again zero energy state in advance of removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring devices systematically and securely.
Permitting and Inspections
Before a single conductor is pulled, permits and inspections establish the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You obtain 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 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 maintain as-builts accurate, address red tags without delay, and request re-inspections only when corrections are verified. Final sign-off aligns with panel schedules, torque records, and test results.
Clear Pricing 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 state scope and total cost before work starts, 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.
Transparent, Detailed Estimates
Count on upfront, itemized estimates that clarify labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work begins. You get a complete breakdown linked 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 see what's necessary and why.
We use standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for cost transparency. Should field conditions change—hidden 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 specifications, utility coordination, and shutoff plans. Our documentation clarifies warranty terms, submittals, and disposal methods, ensuring safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.
No Secret Charges
Although scopes evolve during real-world work, our pricing never hides extras. You obtain upfront billing linked to defined tasks, materials, and code-compliant methods, so no hidden charges emerge when we open a panel or trace a circuit. We provide a flat rate for each approved scope segment, calculated from labor hours, parts specifications, and required permits. If conditions necessitate a change, we halt, price it, and obtain your authorization.
Our pricing framework follows NEC-driven protocols and safety best practices. You'll see detailed costs for GFCIs, AFCIs, grounding upgrades, or service-entrance work. We also offer bundle discounts when you group related projects—like panel upgrades with surge protection—decreasing total labor mobilizations. Transparent math, documented assumptions, and locked pricing secure your schedule, budget, and safety.
Clear-Language Modifications
Transparent pricing requires equally transparent updates. We provide straightforward updates that transform NEC requirements, load calculations, and permit procedures into concrete actions, timelines, and costs. We highlight scope changes right away, document their code drivers, and outline safety impacts so you can approve with confidence.
We schedule milestones, provide written change orders, and timestamp progress photos. You'll see circuit identification, breaker specifications, GFCI/AFCI locations, and grounding enhancements described in easy-to-understand terms. If we recommend electrical panel derating or arc-fault safety measures, we break down the risks involved, applicable standards, and associated costs before any work starts.
You will also get community updates on outages, inspections, and city initiatives, plus practical energy tips—like LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to lower usage while ensuring compliance and safety.
Project Workflow: From Consultation to Final Walkthrough
Before any tools come out, we initiate a comprehensive on-site consultation to establish scope, load requirements, code compliance requirements, and safety priorities. We confirm service capacity, document circuits, determine grounding/bonding specifications, and note access or shutoff procedures. You will get a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a clearly defined proposal with listed materials and permit requirements.
Upon permit approval, we plan work to minimize outages. We perform lockout/tagout procedures, protect finishes, and perform installations according to NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer specifications. We label panels, torque terminations to specification, and test ground fault and arc fault protection, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once activated, we commission systems, demonstrate operation, and document warranties and maintenance tasks.
The final walkthrough verifies punch-list closure, inspector sign-off, and post installation support details.
