We utilize task-appropriate PPE and implement Lockout/Tagout providing zero-energy verification before any work begins. We pull the required permits, coordinate inspections, and deliver as-built records to confirm your system passes on the first review.
Seattle Codes & NEC
Even though each project is distinct, our work maintains the same foundation: strict alignment with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You receive designs and installations that conform to 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 encounter compliant service entrance arrangements with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We apply Article 250 procedures, confirm electrode continuity, and test impedance to minimize touch voltage during a ground fault. We also guarantee AFCI/GFCI protection where required, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, wiring techniques, and penetrations follow listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and inspection-compliant compliance reports.
Personal Protective Equipment 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 locate all energy sources, verify no presence 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 verified on a known source before and after testing.
You keep control of keys, establish boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no device is re-energized before clearance. You re-verify zero energy state prior to removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring equipment methodically and safely.
Permits and Inspections
Prior to a single conductor is pulled, permits and inspections set the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You secure the appropriate permit scope, confirm 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 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 maintain as-builts current, 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 Costs and Transparent Communication
We provide you with 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 begins, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. While work progresses, we give you clear, straightforward updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Clear, Itemized Cost Breakdowns
Depend on upfront, line-by-line estimates that spell out labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work kicks off. You are provided with a comprehensive breakdown connected to scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI needs, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We synchronize 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. If field conditions change—buried junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we adjust the estimate for accuracy and compliance, with your approval first. You'll be informed of timelines, access specifications, utility coordination, and shutoff plans. Our documentation explains warranty terms, submittals, and disposal methods, guaranteeing safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.
Zero Hidden Costs
Although scopes change during real-world work, our pricing never hides extras. You obtain upfront billing linked to defined tasks, materials, and code-compliant methods, so no hidden charges emerge when we open a panel or trace a circuit. We offer a flat rate for each approved scope segment, determined by labor hours, parts specifications, and required permits. If conditions require a change, we halt, price it, and seek your authorization.
Our pricing framework follows NEC-driven procedures and safety best practices. You'll receive detailed costs for GFCIs, AFCIs, grounding upgrades, or service-entrance work. We also include bundle discounts when you group related services—like panel upgrades with surge protection—decreasing total labor mobilizations. Straightforward pricing, documented assumptions, and fixed pricing safeguard your safety, budget, and schedule.
Clear-Language Revisions
Clear pricing only works when updates are just as clear. You'll get plain-language briefings that translate NEC standards, load calculations, and permit procedures into specific actions, timelines, and costs. We highlight scope changes immediately, note their code drivers, and detail safety impacts so you can authorize with certainty.
We establish project milestones, deliver documented change orders, and capture timestamped progress photographs. You see circuit labels, breaker sizes, GFCI/AFCI placements, and grounding upgrades presented in clear language. When we suggest derating your panel or installing arc-fault protection, we explain the safety risk, code standard, and cost prior to beginning work.
Additionally, you'll receive community updates on power outages, facility inspections, and municipal programs, plus useful energy recommendations—including LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to decrease usage while upholding compliance and safety.
Project Journey: From Consultation to Final Walkthrough
Prior to bringing out any equipment, we start with a detailed on-site consultation to establish scope, load requirements, code constraints, and safety priorities. We validate service capacity, map circuits, determine grounding/bonding requirements, and document access or shutoff procedures. You'll receive a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a detailed scope proposal with listed materials and permit requirements.
After permit approval, we schedule work to minimize outages. We perform lockout/tagout procedures, preserve finishes, and complete installations per NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer specs. We mark panels, torque terminations to spec, and test ground fault and arc fault protection, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once energized, we commission systems, show operation, and document warranty information and maintenance schedules.
