We manage Tenant fit outs, workplace electrical upgrades, service panel enhancements, and service capacity increases calibrated to actual load profiles. We provide properly coordinated conduit routing, identification protocols, and termination practices that accommodate future expansion. We organize shutdowns, provide temporary power, and sequence cutovers to maintain uptime.
Spanning emergency egress lighting, selective coordination, and arc-fault mitigation, we engineer reliable distribution that aligns with equipment specs and landlord standards. Surge protection, metering, and low-voltage pathways are planned, documented, and tested, ensuring a maintainable, compliant, and scalable electrical infrastructure.
Code Compliance and Safety-First Practices
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 pull the required permits, coordinate inspections, and provide as-built records to guarantee your system passes on the first review.
Seattle Codes & NEC
While every project is one-of-a-kind, our work follows check here the same fundamental approach: strict compliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You get designs and installations that meet 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 configurations with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We employ Article 250 methods, validate electrode continuity, and test impedance to limit touch voltage during a ground fault. We also confirm AFCI/GFCI protection where needed, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, wiring techniques, and penetrations conform to listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and inspection-ready compliance reports.
PPE and LOTO
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 absence 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, 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 lock keys, post boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no machinery is re-energized too early. You confirm again zero energy state in advance of removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring equipment methodically and safely.
Permits Plus Inspections
Prior to a single conductor gets pulled, permits and inspections establish the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You obtain the correct permit scope, verify 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 stage work for each inspection, using 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 maintain as-builts current, address red tags without delay, and request re-inspections only when corrections are verified. Final sign-off corresponds to panel schedules, torque records, and test results.
Clear Pricing and Straightforward Communication
You get an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We specify total cost and scope before work begins, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. Throughout the job, we provide clear, straightforward updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Clear, Detailed Estimates
Count on upfront, comprehensive estimates that clarify labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work starts. You get a comprehensive breakdown aligned with scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI needs, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We tie 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 cost transparency. When field conditions differ—concealed junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we adjust the estimate for accuracy and compliance, with your approval first. You'll understand timelines, access needs, utility coordination, and shutoff plans. Our documentation details warranty terms, submittals, and disposal methods, ensuring safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.
No Secret Charges
Although scopes change during real-world work, our pricing never hides extras. You receive upfront billing tied 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, calculated from labor hours, parts specifications, and required permits. If conditions demand a change, we pause, price it, and seek your authorization.
Our cost structure adheres to NEC-driven processes and safety best practices. You'll receive detailed costs for grounding enhancements, service-entrance installations, GFCIs, or AFCIs. We also provide bundle discounts when you package related projects—like panel upgrades with surge protection—reducing total labor mobilizations. Honest numbers, documented assumptions, and guaranteed pricing secure your schedule, budget, and safety.
Clear-Language Revisions
Clear pricing only works when updates are just as clear. You'll receive clear communications that convert NEC standards, load calculations, and permit processes into tangible actions, timelines, and costs. We flag scope changes immediately, document their code drivers, and detail safety impacts so you can authorize with certainty.
We schedule milestones, provide written change orders, and timestamp progress photos. You see circuit identification, breaker specifications, GFCI/AFCI locations, and grounding enhancements in simple terms. Should we recommend derating your panel or installing arc-fault protection, we explain the risks involved, applicable standards, and associated costs prior to beginning work.
You will also get community updates on outages, inspections, and city initiatives, plus helpful energy tips—like LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to lower usage while preserving compliance and safety.
Project Process: From Initial Consultation to Final Walkthrough
Before we begin any physical work, we start with a comprehensive on-site consultation to define scope, load requirements, code constraints, and safety priorities. We confirm service capacity, map circuits, assess grounding/bonding needs, and record access or shutoff procedures. We'll provide you with a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a detailed scope proposal with specified materials and permit requirements.
After permit approval, we arrange work to reduce outages. We lockout/tagout, protect finishes, and complete installations per NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer requirements. We mark panels, torque terminations to spec, and test GFCI/AFCI, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once powered up, we verify systems, demonstrate 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.
Final walkthrough confirms punch-list closure, inspector sign-off, and post installation support details.
Final inspection validates completion of the punch list, inspector authorization, and details regarding post-installation support.
