You obtain comprehensive project designs, stamped drawings, and clean installations that work with base-building systems without interfering with revenue hours.
We provide Tenant fit outs, Office rewiring, electrical panel upgrades, and electrical service capacity expansions calibrated to actual load profiles. Our clients benefit from carefully coordinated conduit routing, identification protocols, and termination practices that support future expansion. We schedule shutdowns, provide temporary power, and coordinate cutovers to ensure uptime.
From emergency egress lighting to selective coordination and arc-fault mitigation, we construct dependable distribution that complies with equipment specifications and landlord standards. Surge protection, metering, and low-voltage pathways are documented, planned, and tested, providing a compliant, maintainable, and scalable electrical system.
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 enforce Lockout/Tagout to ensure zero-energy verification before any work begins. We pull the required permits, coordinate inspections, and provide as-built records to ensure your system passes on the first review.
NEC and Seattle Codes
Although every project is different, our work follows the same core principles: strict alignment with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You get 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 will encounter compliant service entrance designs with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We employ Article 250 approaches, verify electrode continuity, and test impedance to minimize touch voltage during a ground fault. We also confirm AFCI/GFCI protection where specified, 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 code-compliant compliance reports.
Personal Protective Equipment and Lockout/Tagout
Based on compliant design and installation, field work adheres to strict PPE and lockout/tagout controls to keep energized hazards at bay. You locate 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 validated on a known source before and after testing.
You keep control of access keys, set perimeters, and coordinate shift changes so no device is re-energized too early. You confirm again zero energy state before removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring devices carefully and safely.
Licensing and Inspections
In advance of a single conductor gets installed, permits and inspections define 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 review 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 keep as-builts accurate, resolve red tags immediately, and submit re-inspections only when corrections are confirmed. Final sign-off corresponds to panel schedules, torque specifications, and test results.
Open Costs and Direct 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. Throughout the job, we give you plain‑language updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Transparent, Detailed Estimates
Rely on upfront, itemized estimates that spell out labor, materials, permit fees, and here code-driven requirements before any work begins. You get a thorough breakdown linked to scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI demands, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We align each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you recognize what's mandated and why.
We use standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for clear cost visibility. If field conditions vary—buried junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we update the estimate for accuracy and compliance, with your approval first. You'll understand timelines, access specifications, utility coordination, and shutoff plans. Our documentation explains warranty terms, submittals, and disposal methods, guaranteeing safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.
No Surprise Fees
Though scopes change during real-world work, our pricing never hides extras. You receive upfront billing tied to defined tasks, materials, and code-compliant methods, so no hidden charges emerge when we access a panel or trace a circuit. We quote a flat rate for each approved scope segment, calculated from labor hours, parts specifications, and required permits. If conditions demand a change, we halt, price it, and obtain your authorization.
Our cost structure adheres to NEC-driven procedures and safety best practices. You'll receive clear costs for AFCIs, GFCIs, service-entrance work, or grounding upgrades. We also offer bundle discounts when you bundle related tasks—like panel upgrades with surge protection—minimizing total labor mobilizations. Clear calculations, documented assumptions, and locked pricing safeguard your safety, budget, and schedule.
Plain-Language Updates
Clear pricing only works when updates are just as clear. You'll get plain-language briefings that translate NEC requirements, load calculations, and permit steps into specific actions, timelines, and costs. We identify scope changes immediately, note their code drivers, and outline safety impacts so you can authorize with certainty.
We schedule milestones, provide written change orders, and timestamp progress photos. You get labeled circuits, breaker capacities, GFCI/AFCI installations, and grounding upgrades explained in straightforward language. Should we recommend derating your panel or installing arc-fault protection, we'll explain the safety risk, code standard, and cost before any work starts.
You'll additionally obtain community updates on service interruptions, system inspections, and local initiatives, plus actionable energy suggestions—such as LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to minimize usage while preserving compliance and safety.
Project Workflow: From Consultation Through Final Walkthrough
Before any tools come out, we initiate a comprehensive on-site consultation to establish scope, load requirements, code constraints, and safety priorities. We validate service capacity, chart circuits, assess grounding/bonding needs, and document access or shutoff procedures. We'll provide you with a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a fixed-scope proposal with specified materials and permit requirements.
Upon permit approval, we schedule work to limit outages. We implement lockout/tagout protocols, preserve finishes, and execute installations according to NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer specs. We mark panels, torque terminations to required standards, and test GFCI and AFCI devices, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once energized, we verify systems, demonstrate operation, and document warranties and maintenance requirements.
