You obtain comprehensive project designs, stamped drawings, and clean installations that connect to base-building systems without interfering with revenue hours.
Our services include tenant fit-outs, commercial rewiring, electrical panel upgrades, and service capacity increases calibrated to actual load profiles. We provide carefully coordinated conduit routing, marking conventions, and termination practices that accommodate future expansion. We stage shutdowns, furnish temporary power, and manage cutovers to ensure uptime.
Spanning emergency egress lighting, selective coordination, and arc-fault mitigation, we develop dependable distribution that complies with equipment specifications and landlord stipulations. Low-voltage pathways, metering, and surge protection are planned, documented, and tested, providing a scalable, compliant, and maintainable electrical system.
Code Compliance and Safety-Priority Practices
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 implement Lockout/Tagout to ensure zero-energy verification before any work begins. We pull the required permits, coordinate inspections, and provide as-built records to confirm your system passes on the first review.
National Electrical Code and Seattle Codes
Though every project is different, our work adheres to the same foundation: strict adherence to the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You obtain designs and installations that conform to the latest adopted editions, including Seattle's local amendments. We validate conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and fault-current ratings, then document calculations for inspection.
You'll find compliant service entrance layouts with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We follow Article 250 approaches, validate electrode continuity, and test impedance to restrict touch voltage during a ground fault. We website also confirm AFCI/GFCI protection where necessary, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, wiring procedures, and penetrations follow listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and code-compliant compliance reports.
PPE and Lockout/Tagout
Founded upon compliant design and installation, field work follows 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 matched to 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 maintain control of keys, establish boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no machinery is re-energized too early. You re-verify zero energy state before removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring machinery carefully and safely.
Building Permits and Inspections
Before a single conductor gets pulled, permits and inspections establish the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You acquire the appropriate 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 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 accurate, resolve red tags promptly, and initiate re-inspections only when corrections are validated. Final sign-off matches panel schedules, torque documentation, and test results.
Transparent Costs and Open 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 begins, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. While work progresses, we provide clear, straightforward updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Transparent, Detailed Estimates
Expect upfront, line-by-line estimates that spell out labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work starts. You get a comprehensive breakdown linked to scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI demands, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We match each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you understand what's required and why.
We use standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for clear cost visibility. Should field conditions differ—concealed junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we update the estimate for accuracy and compliance, with your approval first. You'll be informed of timelines, access needs, 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 shift during real-world work, our pricing never obscures extras. You receive upfront billing tied to defined tasks, materials, and code-compliant methods, so you won't face unexpected costs when we access a panel or trace a circuit. We quote a flat rate for each approved scope segment, based on labor hours, parts specifications, and required permits. If conditions require a change, we stop, price it, and seek your authorization.
Our fee system complies with NEC-driven processes and safety best practices. We provide detailed costs for GFCIs, AFCIs, grounding upgrades, or service-entrance work. We also include bundle discounts when you combine related tasks—like panel upgrades with surge protection—decreasing total labor mobilizations. Clear calculations, documented assumptions, and fixed pricing preserve your timeline, financial plan, and safety.
Clear-Language Revisions
Transparent pricing requires equally transparent updates. You'll get plain-language briefings that translate NEC regulations, load calculations, and permit steps into tangible actions, timelines, and costs. We highlight scope changes immediately, document their code drivers, and outline safety impacts so you can approve with confidence.
We establish project milestones, deliver documented change orders, and capture timestamped progress photographs. You'll see circuit labels, breaker sizes, GFCI/AFCI placements, and grounding upgrades explained in straightforward language. If we propose derating your panel or installing arc-fault protection, we break down the potential hazard, relevant standard, and pricing before we proceed with the work.
Additionally, you'll receive community updates on outages, infrastructure inspections, and community programs, plus helpful energy suggestions—such as LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to minimize usage while upholding compliance and safety.
Project Process: From Consultation to Final Walkthrough
Prior to bringing out any equipment, we begin with a detailed on-site consultation to define scope, load requirements, code compliance requirements, and safety priorities. We verify service capacity, chart circuits, assess grounding/bonding requirements, and document access or shutoff procedures. You'll receive a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a detailed scope proposal with itemized materials and permit requirements.
Following permit approval, we arrange work to limit outages. We implement lockout/tagout protocols, preserve finishes, and complete installations in compliance with NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer requirements. We mark panels, torque terminations to specification, and test ground fault and arc fault protection, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once activated, we validate systems, demonstrate operation, and document warranty details and maintenance tasks.
Final inspection validates punch-list closure, inspector sign-off, and post installation support details.
