You obtain comprehensive project designs, stamped drawings, and seamless installations that connect to base-building systems without interfering with revenue hours.
Our services include tenant improvements, workplace electrical upgrades, distribution panel improvements, and power capacity enhancements designed according to actual load profiles. Our clients benefit from coordinated conduit routing, labeling standards, and termination practices that facilitate future expansion. We stage shutdowns, supply temporary power, and schedule cutovers to sustain uptime.
Covering everything from emergency egress lighting through selective coordination to arc-fault mitigation, we construct robust distribution that aligns with equipment requirements and landlord stipulations. Metering, low-voltage pathways, and surge protection are planned, documented, and tested, delivering a scalable, compliant, and maintainable electrical infrastructure.
Safety-First Practices and Code Compliance
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 providing zero-energy verification before any work commences. 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
While each project is different, our work adheres to the same foundation: strict compliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You receive designs and installations that conform to the latest adopted editions, including Seattle's local amendments. We check conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and fault-current ratings, then document calculations for inspection.
You'll see compliant service entrance layouts with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We follow Article 250 techniques, verify electrode continuity, and test impedance to restrict touch voltage during a ground fault. We also ensure AFCI/GFCI protection where required, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, wiring methods, and penetrations conform to listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and inspection-ready compliance reports.
Personal Protective Equipment and Lockout/Tagout Systems
Based on compliant design and installation, field work adheres to 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 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 keep control of keys, establish boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no machinery is re-energized before clearance. You re-verify zero energy state in advance of removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring equipment methodically and safely.
Building Permits and Inspections
Before a single conductor is pulled, permits and inspections set the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You secure the right permit scope, verify fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to prevent idle crews and rushed work. You consult NEC, WAC, and Seattle DCI requirements, documenting load calculations, conductor sizing, grounding, bonding, AFCI/GFCI locations, and fault-current ratings.
You stage work for each inspection, using 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 ensure as-builts current, remedy red tags immediately, and submit re-inspections only when corrections are verified. Final sign-off corresponds to panel schedules, torque documentation, and test results.
Straightforward Costs and Transparent Communication
We provide you with an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We state the complete 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, Itemized Pricing
Count on upfront, line-by-line estimates that spell out labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work commences. You receive a complete breakdown aligned with scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI specifications, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We synchronize each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you understand what's mandated and why.
We use standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for transparent pricing. When field conditions change—concealed junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we update the estimate for compliance and accuracy, with your approval first. You'll know timelines, access needs, 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 Hidden Fees
While scopes evolve during real-world work, our pricing never hides extras. You get upfront billing linked to defined tasks, materials, and code-compliant methods, so you won't face unexpected costs when we examine a panel or trace a circuit. We provide a flat rate for each approved scope segment, determined by labor hours, parts specifications, and required permits. If conditions require a change, we pause, price it, and seek your authorization.
Our cost structure adheres to NEC-driven procedures and safety best practices. You'll receive transparent costs for grounding enhancements, service-entrance installations, GFCIs, or AFCIs. We also provide bundle discounts when you combine related jobs—like panel upgrades with surge protection—lowering total check here labor mobilizations. Straightforward pricing, documented assumptions, and guaranteed pricing secure your budget, schedule, and safety.
Plain-Language Updates
Transparent pricing requires equally transparent updates. You'll get plain-language briefings that translate NEC standards, load calculations, and permit steps into specific actions, timelines, and costs. We flag 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 see circuit labeling, breaker sizing, GFCI/AFCI positioning, and grounding improvements in simple terms. When we suggest electrical panel derating or arc-fault safety measures, we clarify the potential hazard, relevant standard, and pricing before we proceed with the work.
Additionally, you'll receive community updates on power outages, facility inspections, and municipal programs, plus useful energy tips—like LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to reduce usage while upholding compliance and safety.
Project Journey: From Initial Consultation to Final Walkthrough
Prior to bringing out any equipment, we start with a comprehensive on-site consultation to determine scope, load requirements, code constraints, and safety priorities. We confirm service capacity, document circuits, determine grounding/bonding specifications, and note access or shutoff procedures. You'll receive a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a fixed-scope proposal with listed materials and permit requirements.
Following permit approval, we arrange work to minimize outages. We lockout/tagout, safeguard finishes, and complete installations according to NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer specifications. We identify panels, torque terminations to spec, and test GFCI and AFCI devices, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once powered up, we commission systems, demonstrate operation, and document warranties and maintenance requirements.
Final walkthrough confirms punch-list closure, inspector sign-off, and post installation support details.
