We use task-appropriate PPE and maintain Lockout/Tagout providing zero-energy verification before any work begins. We obtain the required permits, coordinate inspections, and deliver as-built records to guarantee your system passes on the first review.
Seattle Codes & NEC
Though each project is unique, our work adheres to the same basis: 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 verify conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and fault-current ratings, then document computations for inspection.
You will see compliant service entrance layouts with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We utilize Article 250 techniques, confirm electrode continuity, and test impedance to restrict touch voltage during a ground fault. We also make certain AFCI/GFCI protection where required, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, wiring methods, and penetrations adhere to listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and inspection-compliant compliance reports.
PPE and LOTO
Building on compliant design and installation, field work follows 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 aligned with 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 keep control of keys, establish boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no device is re-energized too early. You get more info re-verify zero energy state before removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring devices carefully and safely.
Permitting and Inspections
Before a single conductor gets installed, permits and inspections establish the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You secure the right permit scope, validate 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 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 keep as-builts current, address red tags without delay, and request re-inspections only when corrections are confirmed. Final sign-off matches panel schedules, torque documentation, and test results.
Clear Costs and Open Communication
You receive an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We outline scope and total cost 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.
Upfront, Detailed Price Quotes
Count on upfront, line-by-line estimates that outline labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work commences. You receive a detailed breakdown linked to scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI demands, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We synchronize each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you understand what's required and why.
We employ standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for transparent pricing. When field conditions differ—concealed junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we revise the estimate for compliance and accuracy, with your approval first. You'll know timelines, access specifications, utility coordination, and shutoff plans. Our documentation clarifies warranty terms, submittals, and disposal methods, providing safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.
No Concealed Fees
While scopes change during real-world work, our pricing never conceals extras. You obtain upfront billing tied to defined tasks, materials, and code-compliant methods, so there are no surprises when we open a panel or trace a circuit. We provide a flat rate for each approved scope segment, determined by labor hours, parts specifications, and required permits. If conditions necessitate a change, we pause, price it, and obtain your authorization.
Our pricing framework follows NEC-driven processes and safety best practices. You'll see clear 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—lowering total labor mobilizations. Transparent math, documented assumptions, and set pricing safeguard your budget, schedule, and safety.
Plain-Language Modifications
Clear pricing only works when updates are just as clear. You'll receive clear communications that convert NEC regulations, load calculations, and permit processes into specific actions, timelines, and costs. We identify scope changes instantly, record their code drivers, and outline safety impacts so you can authorize with certainty.
We establish project milestones, deliver documented change orders, and capture timestamped progress photographs. You get circuit labeling, breaker sizing, GFCI/AFCI positioning, and grounding improvements in simple terms. Should we recommend panel derating or arc-fault protection, we explain the risk, the standard, and the price prior to beginning work.
You'll also receive community updates on power outages, facility inspections, and municipal programs, plus practical energy suggestions—such as LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to lower usage while ensuring compliance and safety.
Project Journey: From Initial Consultation to Final Walkthrough
Prior to bringing out any equipment, we begin with a thorough on-site consultation to determine scope, load requirements, code constraints, and safety priorities. We validate service capacity, map circuits, assess grounding/bonding specifications, and record access or shutoff procedures. You'll receive a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a detailed scope proposal with listed materials and permit requirements.
Following permit approval, we schedule work to reduce outages. We perform lockout/tagout procedures, preserve finishes, and complete installations per NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer requirements. We mark panels, torque terminations to required standards, and test ground fault and arc fault protection, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once activated, we validate systems, demonstrate operation, and document warranty details and maintenance schedules.
