You get detailed design plans, stamped drawings, and professional installations that work with base-building systems without interfering with revenue hours.
We manage tenant improvements, Office rewiring, service panel enhancements, and utility service upgrades sized to actual load profiles. We provide coordinated conduit routing, marking conventions, and termination practices that allow for future expansion. We organize shutdowns, furnish temporary power, and sequence cutovers to sustain uptime.
Spanning emergency egress lighting, selective coordination, and arc-fault mitigation, we build dependable distribution that meets equipment specifications and landlord stipulations. Surge protection, metering, and low-voltage pathways are planned, documented, here and tested, providing a compliant, maintainable, and scalable electrical environment.
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 implement Lockout/Tagout to ensure zero-energy verification before any work commences. We obtain the required permits, coordinate inspections, and deliver as-built records to ensure your system passes on the first review.
NEC and Seattle Codes
Even though every project is one-of-a-kind, our work follows the same basis: strict alignment with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You obtain designs and installations that satisfy 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 will encounter compliant service entrance layouts with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We employ Article 250 approaches, check electrode continuity, and test impedance to restrict touch voltage during a ground fault. We also verify AFCI/GFCI protection where required, 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 inspection-compliant compliance reports.
Personal Protective Equipment and Lockout/Tagout Systems
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 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 retain control of lock keys, post boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no device is re-energized too early. You re-verify zero energy state before removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring devices methodically and safely.
Building Permits and Inspections
In advance of a single conductor is pulled, permits and inspections establish 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 avoid 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 prepare work for each inspection, employing a thorough 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, resolve red tags without delay, and submit re-inspections only when corrections are validated. Final sign-off matches panel schedules, torque records, and test results.
Transparent Fees and Clear Communication
You receive an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We specify the complete scope and total cost before work commences, 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.
Clear, Itemized Cost Breakdowns
Count on upfront, comprehensive estimates that detail labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work commences. You receive a thorough breakdown linked to scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI specifications, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We tie each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you understand what's needed and why.
We use standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for cost transparency. Should field conditions vary—hidden junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we adjust the estimate for compliance and accuracy, with your approval first. You'll be informed of timelines, access requirements, utility coordination, and shutoff plans. Our documentation details warranty terms, submittals, and disposal methods, guaranteeing safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.
No Surprise Fees
Though scopes evolve during real-world work, our pricing never obscures extras. You receive upfront billing linked to defined tasks, materials, and code-compliant methods, so you won't face unexpected costs when we open a panel or trace a circuit. We offer 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 wait for your authorization.
Our cost structure adheres to NEC-driven processes and safety best practices. We provide transparent costs for service-entrance work, grounding upgrades, AFCIs, or GFCIs. We also offer bundle discounts when you combine related jobs—like panel upgrades with surge protection—decreasing total labor mobilizations. Clear calculations, documented assumptions, and fixed pricing protect your safety, budget, and schedule.
Simple-Language Revisions
Straightforward pricing demands equally straightforward updates. You'll receive clear communications that convert NEC requirements, load calculations, and permit processes into concrete actions, timelines, and costs. We highlight scope changes right away, record their code drivers, and document safety impacts so you can authorize with certainty.
We schedule milestones, provide written change orders, and timestamp progress photos. You get circuit labels, breaker sizes, GFCI/AFCI placements, and grounding upgrades presented in clear language. If we propose electrical panel derating or arc-fault safety measures, we break down the potential hazard, relevant standard, and pricing before we proceed with the work.
You'll also receive community updates on power outages, facility inspections, and municipal programs, plus actionable energy tips—like LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to reduce usage while preserving compliance and safety.
Project Process: From Consultation Through Final Walkthrough
Before we begin any physical work, we begin with a comprehensive on-site consultation to determine scope, load requirements, code compliance requirements, and safety priorities. We verify service capacity, chart circuits, identify grounding/bonding requirements, and document access or shutoff procedures. We'll provide you with a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a detailed scope proposal with listed materials and permit requirements.
After permit approval, we plan work to minimize outages. We perform lockout/tagout procedures, safeguard finishes, and perform installations in compliance with NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer specs. We label panels, torque terminations to required standards, and test ground fault and arc fault protection, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once powered up, we verify systems, show operation, and document warranty details and maintenance schedules.
