We schedule shutdowns, offer temporary power, and sequence cutovers to sustain uptime.
Spanning emergency egress lighting, selective coordination, and arc-fault mitigation, we engineer robust distribution that adheres to equipment requirements and landlord standards. Surge protection, metering, and low-voltage pathways are documented, planned, and tested, creating a maintainable, compliant, and scalable electrical system.
Safety-Priority 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 enforce Lockout/Tagout so you get zero-energy verification before any work commences. We secure the required permits, coordinate inspections, and provide as-built records to confirm your system passes on the first review.
NEC & Seattle Codes
Even though every project is unique, our work is built on the same foundation: strict alignment with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You get designs and installations that satisfy the latest adopted editions, including Seattle's local amendments. We verify conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and fault-current ratings, then document specifications for inspection.
You will encounter compliant service entrance layouts with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We utilize Article 250 methods, validate electrode continuity, and test impedance to reduce touch voltage during a ground fault. We also verify AFCI/GFCI protection where mandated, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, wiring approaches, and penetrations comply with listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and inspection-ready compliance reports.
Personal Protective Equipment and Lockout/Tagout Systems
Building on compliant design and installation, field work maintains strict PPE and lockout/tagout controls to keep energized hazards at bay. You determine 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 access keys, post 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 equipment systematically and securely.
Required Permits and Inspections
Before a single conductor is pulled, permits and inspections define the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You obtain the right 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 organize work for every inspection, utilizing 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 promptly, and request re-inspections only when corrections are verified. Final sign-off aligns with panel schedules, torque documentation, and test results.
Honest Rates and Clear Communication
You get an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We specify the complete scope and total cost before work commences, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. During the project, we provide easy-to-understand updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Transparent, Itemized Pricing
Count on upfront, detailed estimates that clarify labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work starts. You receive a thorough breakdown aligned with scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI specifications, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We tie each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you see what's mandated and why.
We use standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for transparent pricing. If field conditions differ—buried junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we adjust the estimate for accuracy and compliance, with your approval first. You'll know timelines, access needs, utility coordination, and shutoff plans. Our documentation details warranty terms, submittals, and disposal methods, providing safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.
Zero Hidden Costs
While scopes change during real-world work, our pricing never hides extras. You receive upfront billing linked 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 halt, price it, and seek your authorization.
Our cost structure adheres to NEC-driven protocols and safety best practices. You'll receive straightforward costs for GFCIs, AFCIs, grounding upgrades, or service-entrance work. We also provide bundle discounts when you group related projects—like panel upgrades with surge protection—minimizing total labor mobilizations.

Project Journey: From Consultation Through Final Walkthrough
Prior to bringing out any equipment, we start with a thorough on-site consultation to establish scope, load requirements, code specifications, and safety priorities. We confirm service capacity, document circuits, determine grounding/bonding specifications, and document access or shutoff procedures. You'll receive a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a fixed-scope proposal with listed materials and permit requirements.
Upon permit approval, we plan work to limit outages. We lockout/tagout, preserve finishes, and perform installations per NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer specs. We mark panels, torque terminations to required standards, and test GFCI/AFCI, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once activated, we validate systems, show operation, and document warranty details and maintenance requirements.
