You get detailed design plans, stamped drawings, and clean installations that connect to base-building systems without interrupting revenue hours.
Our services include tenant fit-outs, Office rewiring, panel upgrades, and utility service upgrades matched to actual load profiles. Our clients benefit from properly coordinated conduit routing, labeling standards, and termination practices that support future expansion. We coordinate shutdowns, supply temporary power, and schedule cutovers to preserve uptime.
Spanning emergency egress lighting, selective coordination, and arc-fault mitigation, we build dependable distribution that meets equipment specs and landlord stipulations. Low-voltage pathways, metering, and surge protection are designed, documented, and verified, delivering a compliant, maintainable, and scalable electrical system.
Safety-First Practices and Code Compliance
You require 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 providing zero-energy verification before any work begins. We obtain the required permits, coordinate inspections, and supply as-built records to guarantee your system passes on the first review.
Seattle Codes & NEC
Though each project is unique, our work maintains the same foundation: strict compliance with 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 verify conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and fault-current ratings, then document computations for inspection.
You'll find compliant service entrance designs with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We utilize Article 250 techniques, check electrode continuity, and test impedance to reduce touch voltage during a ground fault. We also verify AFCI/GFCI protection where necessary, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, wiring approaches, and penetrations follow listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and inspection-compliant compliance reports.
PPE and LOTO
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 absence 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 verified on a known source before and after testing.
You retain control of lock keys, post boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no equipment is re-energized prematurely. You confirm again zero energy state in advance of removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring machinery carefully and safely.
Permitting and Inspections
Prior to a single conductor gets pulled, permits and inspections define the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You acquire the appropriate 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 stage work for each inspection, using a detailed 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 maintain as-builts up-to-date, resolve red tags immediately, and submit re-inspections only when corrections are validated. Final sign-off matches panel schedules, torque specifications, and test results.
Clear Pricing and Direct Communication
You receive an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We outline the complete scope and total cost before work begins, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. Throughout the job, we deliver clear, straightforward updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Transparent, Itemized Pricing
Depend on upfront, detailed estimates that clarify labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work begins. You receive a complete breakdown tied to scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI needs, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We align each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you understand what's mandated and why.
We employ standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for clear cost visibility. If field conditions differ—buried 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, guaranteeing safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.
No Concealed Fees
While scopes change during real-world work, our pricing never hides extras. You get 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, calculated from labor hours, parts specifications, and required permits. If conditions require a change, we stop, price it, and wait for your authorization.
Our fee system complies with NEC-driven standards and safety best practices. You'll see straightforward costs for grounding enhancements, service-entrance installations, GFCIs, or AFCIs. We also provide bundle discounts when you combine related projects—like panel upgrades with surge protection—minimizing total labor mobilizations. Straightforward pricing, documented assumptions, check here and set pricing preserve your schedule, budget, and safety.
Clear-Language Modifications
Clear pricing only works when updates are just as clear. You'll receive clear communications that convert NEC standards, load calculations, and permit steps into concrete actions, timelines, and costs. We flag scope changes right away, note their code drivers, and outline safety impacts so you can make informed decisions.
We establish project milestones, deliver documented change orders, and capture timestamped progress photographs. You receive circuit labels, breaker sizes, GFCI/AFCI placements, and grounding upgrades described in easy-to-understand terms. If we propose electrical panel derating or arc-fault safety measures, we break down the risks involved, applicable standards, and associated costs before work proceeds.
You will also get community updates on outages, inspections, and city initiatives, plus helpful energy suggestions—such as LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to decrease usage while upholding compliance and safety.
Project Journey: From Initial Consultation to Final Walkthrough
Prior to bringing out any equipment, we begin with a detailed on-site consultation to define scope, load requirements, code constraints, and safety priorities. We validate service capacity, document circuits, identify grounding/bonding needs, and record access or shutoff procedures. We'll provide you with a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a clearly defined proposal with itemized materials and permit requirements.
Following permit approval, we schedule work to reduce outages. We implement lockout/tagout protocols, safeguard finishes, and execute installations per NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer requirements. We identify panels, torque terminations to specification, and test GFCI and AFCI devices, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once powered up, we validate systems, demonstrate operation, and document warranties and maintenance requirements.
The final walkthrough verifies punch-list closure, inspector sign-off, and post installation support details.
Final inspection validates punch-list closure, inspector sign-off, and post installation support details.
