We manage Tenant fit outs, Office rewiring, service panel enhancements, and service capacity increases designed according to actual load profiles. We deliver systematically planned conduit routing, identification protocols, and termination practices that allow for future expansion. We organize shutdowns, deliver temporary power, and sequence cutovers to protect uptime.

From emergency egress lighting to selective coordination and arc-fault mitigation, we engineer stable distribution that aligns with equipment requirements and landlord requirements. Low-voltage pathways, metering, and surge protection are planned, documented, and tested, creating a maintainable, compliant, and scalable electrical infrastructure.

Code Compliance and Safety-First Practices

You demand 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 implement Lockout/Tagout to ensure zero-energy verification before any work starts. We secure the required permits, coordinate inspections, and provide as-built records to guarantee your system passes on the first review.

Seattle Codes & NEC

While each project is unique, our work adheres to the same foundation: strict compliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You obtain designs and installations that satisfy the latest adopted editions, including Seattle's local amendments. We confirm conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and fault-current ratings, then document specifications for inspection.

You will see compliant service entrance layouts with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We implement Article 250 methods, confirm electrode continuity, and test impedance to limit 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 procedures, and penetrations conform to listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and inspection-compliant compliance reports.

Personal Protective Equipment and Lockout/Tagout Systems

Based on 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 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, 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 lock keys, post boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no equipment is re-energized too early. You re-verify zero energy state in advance of removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring equipment carefully and safely.

Licensing and Inspections

In advance of a single conductor is pulled, permits and inspections set the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You acquire the correct permit scope, validate fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to prevent idle crews and rushed work. You consult 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 current, address red tags promptly, and submit re-inspections only when corrections are confirmed. Final sign-off matches panel schedules, torque records, and test results.

Transparent Fees and Clear Communication

You receive 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

Count on upfront, line-by-line estimates that outline labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work begins. You receive a complete breakdown aligned with scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI requirements, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We synchronize each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you see what's necessary and why.

We utilize standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for cost transparency. If field conditions vary—concealed junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we adjust the estimate for compliance and accuracy, with your approval first. You'll understand timelines, access needs, utility coordination, and shutoff plans. Our documentation explains warranty terms, submittals, and disposal methods, ensuring safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.

Zero Hidden Costs

Although scopes shift during real-world work, our pricing never obscures extras. You get upfront billing tied to defined tasks, materials, and code-compliant methods, so there are no surprises when we examine a panel or trace a circuit. We quote a flat rate for each approved scope segment, based on labor hours, parts specifications, and required permits. If conditions demand a change, we halt, price it, and wait for your authorization.

Our rate structure aligns with NEC-driven procedures and safety best practices. You'll see transparent costs for service-entrance work, grounding upgrades, AFCIs, or GFCIs. We also offer bundle discounts when you bundle related services—like panel upgrades with surge protection—decreasing total labor mobilizations. Honest numbers, documented assumptions, and locked pricing protect your budget, schedule, and safety.

Clear-Language Updates

Transparent pricing requires equally transparent updates. You'll get plain-language briefings that translate NEC standards, load calculations, and permit steps into tangible actions, timelines, and costs. We flag scope changes immediately, note their code drivers, and document safety impacts so you can authorize with certainty.

We set clear milestones, supply written modification orders, and document progress with timestamped photos. You get labeled circuits, breaker capacities, GFCI/AFCI installations, and grounding upgrades explained in straightforward language. When we suggest panel derating or arc-fault protection, we explain the risks involved, applicable standards, and associated costs prior to beginning work.

You'll also receive community updates on outages, infrastructure inspections, and community programs, plus actionable energy suggestions—such as LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to decrease usage while preserving compliance and safety.

Project Process: From Consultation Through Final Walkthrough

Before any tools come out, we begin with a comprehensive on-site consultation to establish scope, load requirements, code specifications, and safety priorities. We validate service capacity, chart circuits, assess grounding/bonding specifications, and record access or shutoff procedures. You will get a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a detailed scope proposal with itemized materials and permit requirements.

After permit approval, we plan work to reduce outages. We lockout/tagout, safeguard finishes, and complete installations according to NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer specifications. We identify panels, torque terminations to specification, and test GFCI and AFCI devices, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once energized, we verify systems, present operation, and document warranties and maintenance tasks.

The final walkthrough verifies punch-list closure, inspector sign-off, and post installation support details.
