Metering, low-voltage pathways, and surge protection are documented, planned, and tested, ensuring a scalable, compliant, and maintainable electrical infrastructure.
Safety-Focused Practices and Code Compliance
We deliver 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 maintain Lockout/Tagout to ensure zero-energy verification before any work begins. We obtain the required permits, coordinate inspections, and provide as-built records to confirm your system passes on the first review.
Seattle Codes and NEC
Although each project is distinct, our work maintains the same foundation: strict compliance 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 confirm conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and fault-current ratings, then document calculations for inspection.
You will see compliant service entrance designs with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We implement Article 250 procedures, check electrode continuity, and test impedance to reduce touch voltage during a ground fault. We also ensure AFCI/GFCI protection where necessary, 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 ready-for-inspection compliance reports.
Personal Protective Equipment and Lockout/Tagout
Building 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 appropriate for incident energy and task: arc-rated clothing, voltage-rated gloves with leather protectors, click here 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 access keys, establish boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no device is re-energized prematurely. You verify again zero energy state before removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring machinery systematically and securely.
Permits & Inspections
In advance of a single conductor is pulled, permits and inspections define the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You obtain the correct permit scope, confirm fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to stop 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, remedy red tags immediately, and request re-inspections only when corrections are verified. Final sign-off matches panel schedules, torque documentation, and test results.
Clear Pricing and Transparent 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 begins, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. During the project, we deliver plain‑language updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Transparent, Itemized Pricing
Rely on upfront, itemized estimates that detail labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work starts. You get a thorough breakdown linked to scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI specifications, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We match each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you recognize what's necessary and why.
We use standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for transparent pricing. When field conditions differ—buried junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we adjust the estimate for compliance and accuracy, with your approval first. You'll be informed of 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 Surprise Fees
Though scopes change during real-world work, our pricing never hides extras. You obtain upfront billing connected 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, determined by labor hours, parts specifications, and required permits. If conditions demand a change, we halt, price it, and wait for your authorization.
Our fee system complies with NEC-driven processes and safety best practices. You'll receive transparent costs for AFCIs, GFCIs, service-entrance work, or grounding upgrades. We also include bundle discounts when you combine related services—like panel upgrades with surge protection—decreasing total labor mobilizations. Clear calculations, documented assumptions, and locked pricing preserve your schedule, budget, and safety.
Clear-Language Updates
Transparent pricing requires equally transparent updates. You'll receive clear communications that convert NEC standards, load calculations, and permit processes into concrete actions, timelines, and costs. We identify scope changes right away, note their code drivers, and document safety impacts so you can approve with confidence.
We schedule milestones, provide written change orders, and timestamp progress photos. You'll see labeled circuits, breaker capacities, GFCI/AFCI installations, and grounding upgrades described in easy-to-understand terms. If we recommend panel derating or arc-fault protection, we explain the potential hazard, relevant standard, and pricing before any work starts.
Additionally, you'll receive community updates on outages, inspections, and city initiatives, plus useful energy suggestions—such as LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to decrease usage while preserving compliance and safety.
Project Journey: From Consultation to Final Walkthrough
Before any tools come out, we start with a thorough on-site consultation to determine scope, load requirements, code specifications, and safety priorities. We confirm service capacity, map circuits, assess grounding/bonding specifications, and document access or shutoff procedures. We'll provide you with a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a fixed-scope proposal with itemized materials and permit requirements.
After permit approval, we plan work to reduce outages. We perform lockout/tagout procedures, safeguard finishes, and perform installations according to NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer specs. We identify panels, torque terminations to spec, and test GFCI and AFCI devices, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once energized, we verify systems, show operation, and document warranty details and maintenance schedules.
The final walkthrough verifies punch-list closure, inspector sign-off, and post installation support details.
Final inspection validates all punch-list items, inspector sign-off, and post installation support details.
The final walkthrough verifies punch-list closure, inspector authorization, and post installation support details.
Final walkthrough confirms completion of the punch list, inspector sign-off, and post-installation service information.
