We coordinate shutdowns, supply temporary power, and manage cutovers to maintain uptime.
From emergency egress lighting to selective coordination and arc-fault mitigation, we develop dependable distribution that complies with equipment specs and landlord standards. Low-voltage pathways, metering, and surge protection are documented, planned, and tested, providing a maintainable, compliant, and scalable electrical system.
Code Compliance and Safety-Priority Practices
You demand strict adherence to the NEC and Seattle Electrical Code, with clear documentation of conductor sizing, grounding, and fault protection. We use task-appropriate PPE and implement Lockout/Tagout to ensure zero-energy verification before any work begins. We secure the required permits, coordinate inspections, and deliver as-built records to confirm your system passes on the first review.
Seattle Codes and National Electrical Code
While every project is distinct, our work maintains the same basis: strict compliance 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 validate conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and fault-current ratings, then document calculations for inspection.
You'll see compliant service entrance arrangements with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We utilize Article 250 approaches, validate electrode continuity, and test impedance to restrict touch voltage during a ground fault. We also confirm AFCI/GFCI protection where mandated, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, wiring approaches, and penetrations conform to listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and inspection-compliant compliance reports.
Personal Protective Equipment and Lockout/Tagout
Founded upon compliant design and installation, field work adheres to 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 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, set perimeters, and coordinate shift changes so no equipment is re-energized too early. click here You confirm again zero energy state in advance of removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring equipment carefully and safely.
Permits and Inspections
In advance of a single conductor gets pulled, permits and inspections establish the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You acquire the correct permit scope, confirm 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 precise inspection checklist: rough-in box fill, staple spacing, derating, conduit support intervals, equipment working clearances, service disconnect labeling, bonding jumpers, and arc-fault/GFCI protection verification. You keep as-builts accurate, address red tags without delay, and initiate re-inspections only when corrections are verified. Final sign-off corresponds to panel schedules, torque records, and test results.
Transparent Fees and Direct Communication
You get 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 commences, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. During the project, we give you easy-to-understand updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Transparent, Itemized Pricing
Depend on upfront, line-by-line estimates that spell out labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work kicks off. You obtain a detailed 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 know what's mandated and why.
We employ standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for cost transparency. Should field conditions vary—concealed junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we revise the estimate for accuracy and compliance, with your approval first. You'll be informed of timelines, access requirements, utility coordination, and shutoff plans. Our documentation clarifies warranty terms, submittals, and disposal methods, ensuring safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.
Transparent Pricing Only
Though scopes change during real-world work, our pricing never hides extras. You obtain upfront billing tied 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 quote a flat rate for each approved scope segment, based on labor hours, parts specifications, and required permits. If conditions necessitate a change, we pause, price it, and obtain your authorization.
Our fee system complies with NEC-driven processes and safety best practices. We provide straightforward costs for grounding enhancements, service-entrance installations, GFCIs, or AFCIs. We also include bundle discounts when you package related services—like panel upgrades with surge protection—reducing total labor mobilizations. Straightforward pricing, documented assumptions, and guaranteed pricing safeguard your timeline, financial plan, and safety.
Plain-Language Updates
Transparent pricing requires equally transparent updates. You'll receive clear communications that convert NEC standards, load calculations, and permit steps into tangible actions, timelines, and costs. We identify scope changes immediately, document their code drivers, and detail safety impacts so you can approve with confidence.
We schedule milestones, provide written change orders, and timestamp progress photos. You receive circuit labels, breaker sizes, GFCI/AFCI placements, and grounding upgrades described in easy-to-understand terms. Should we recommend panel derating or arc-fault protection, we clarify the risk, the standard, and the price before we proceed with the work.
You'll additionally obtain community updates on outages, infrastructure inspections, and community programs, plus actionable energy tips—like LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to decrease usage while preserving compliance and safety.
Project Process: From Consultation to Final Walkthrough
Prior to bringing out any equipment, we initiate a comprehensive on-site consultation to determine scope, load requirements, code specifications, and safety priorities. We confirm service capacity, chart circuits, assess grounding/bonding needs, and note access or shutoff procedures. You will get a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a detailed scope proposal with specified materials and permit requirements.
Upon permit approval, we schedule work to limit outages. We perform lockout/tagout procedures, protect finishes, and execute installations in compliance with NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer specifications. We identify panels, torque terminations to specification, and test GFCI and AFCI devices, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once powered up, we commission systems, present operation, and document warranty information and maintenance schedules.
Final inspection validates punch-list closure, inspector sign-off, and post installation support details.
