We organize shutdowns, provide temporary power, and coordinate cutovers to preserve uptime.
From emergency egress lighting to selective coordination and arc-fault mitigation, we build stable distribution that adheres to equipment specs and landlord requirements. Surge protection, metering, and low-voltage pathways are documented, planned, and tested, delivering a maintainable, compliant, and scalable electrical system.
Safety-Priority Practices and Code Compliance
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 maintain Lockout/Tagout so you get zero-energy verification before any work commences. We secure the required permits, coordinate inspections, and supply as-built records to ensure your system passes on the first review.
National Electrical Code and Seattle Codes
Though every project is distinct, our work adheres to the same basis: strict alignment with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You get designs and installations that comply with the latest adopted editions, including Seattle's local amendments. We validate conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and fault-current ratings, then document computations for inspection.
You'll see compliant service entrance layouts with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We apply Article 250 methods, check electrode continuity, and test impedance to minimize 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 approaches, and penetrations adhere to listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and inspection-ready compliance reports.
PPE and Lockout/Tagout
Based on compliant design and installation, field work maintains strict PPE and lockout/tagout controls to keep energized hazards at bay. You locate all energy sources, verify no presence of voltage, and apply isolation devices with durable tags and locks under a documented procedure. You wear personal protective equipment aligned with 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 confirmed on a known source before and after testing.
You retain control of access 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 methodically and safely.
Permitting and Inspections
In advance of a single conductor is pulled, permits and inspections define the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You acquire the appropriate permit scope, confirm fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to stop 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 precise 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 up-to-date, address red tags without delay, and submit re-inspections only when corrections are verified. more info Final sign-off aligns with panel schedules, torque records, and test results.
Honest Rates and Straightforward Communication
You get 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 easy-to-understand updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Transparent, Itemized Pricing
Depend on upfront, comprehensive estimates that spell out labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work kicks off. You are provided with a complete breakdown connected to scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI needs, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We synchronize each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you see what's needed and why.
We utilize standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for transparent pricing. If field conditions differ—hidden junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we adjust 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.
No Concealed Fees
Although scopes shift during real-world work, our pricing never conceals extras. You get upfront billing linked to defined tasks, materials, and code-compliant methods, so there are no surprises when we access a panel or trace a circuit. We provide a flat rate for each approved scope segment, based on labor hours, parts specifications, and required permits. If conditions require a change, we pause, price it, and obtain your authorization.
Our rate structure aligns with NEC-driven procedures and safety best practices. You'll receive straightforward costs for GFCIs, AFCIs, grounding upgrades, or service-entrance work. We also offer bundle discounts when you bundle related jobs—like panel upgrades with surge protection—decreasing total labor mobilizations. Transparent math, documented assumptions, and set pricing secure your schedule, budget, and safety.
Plain-Language Modifications
Clear pricing only works when updates are just as clear. We provide straightforward updates that transform NEC standards, load calculations, and permit steps into specific actions, timelines, and costs. We flag scope changes right away, record 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 get labeled circuits, breaker capacities, GFCI/AFCI installations, and grounding upgrades explained in straightforward language. When we suggest panel capacity reduction or arc-fault protection systems, we explain the risk, the standard, and the price before work proceeds.
Additionally, you'll receive community updates on outages, infrastructure inspections, and community programs, plus practical energy recommendations—including LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to reduce usage while upholding compliance and safety.
Project Journey: From Consultation Through Final Walkthrough
Prior to bringing out any equipment, we start with a thorough on-site consultation to define scope, load requirements, code specifications, and safety priorities. We verify service capacity, chart circuits, determine grounding/bonding specifications, and record access or shutoff procedures. You'll receive a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a fixed-scope proposal with itemized materials and permit requirements.
After permit approval, we arrange work to reduce outages. We perform lockout/tagout procedures, protect finishes, and complete installations per NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer requirements. We label panels, torque terminations to specification, and test GFCI/AFCI, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once energized, we validate systems, show operation, and document warranties and maintenance tasks.
