Low-voltage pathways, metering, and surge protection are planned, documented, and tested, creating a scalable, compliant, and maintainable electrical system.
Code Compliance and Safety-Priority Practices
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 implement Lockout/Tagout providing zero-energy verification before any work commences. We obtain check here the required permits, coordinate inspections, and provide as-built records to confirm your system passes on the first review.
NEC & Seattle Codes
While every project is unique, our work adheres to the same basis: strict alignment 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 calculations for inspection.
You'll observe compliant service entrance configurations with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We apply Article 250 methods, check electrode continuity, and test impedance to reduce touch voltage during a ground fault. We also make certain AFCI/GFCI protection where needed, 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
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 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 validated on a known source before and after testing.
You keep control of lock keys, establish boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no device is re-energized before clearance. You re-verify zero energy state in advance of removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring devices systematically and securely.
Permits Plus Inspections
Prior to a single conductor is pulled, permits and inspections establish the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You obtain the correct permit scope, confirm fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to avoid 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 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 accurate, remedy red tags immediately, and submit re-inspections only when corrections are validated. Final sign-off aligns with panel schedules, torque records, and test results.
Transparent Fees and Clear Communication
You get 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 starts, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. While work progresses, we provide clear, straightforward updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Transparent, Detailed Estimates
Count on upfront, detailed estimates that spell out labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work kicks off. You get a complete breakdown linked to scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI needs, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We align each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you understand what's necessary and why.
We employ standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for transparent pricing. Should field conditions change—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 requirements, utility coordination, and shutoff plans. Our documentation details warranty terms, submittals, and disposal methods, guaranteeing safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.
No Hidden Charges
Though scopes evolve during real-world work, our pricing never hides extras. You get 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 provide a flat rate for each approved scope segment, calculated from 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 procedures and safety best practices. You'll see straightforward costs for grounding enhancements, service-entrance installations, GFCIs, or AFCIs. We also offer bundle discounts when you bundle related tasks—like panel upgrades with surge protection—minimizing total labor mobilizations. Straightforward pricing, documented assumptions, and locked pricing secure your timeline, financial plan, and safety.
Simple-Language Modifications
Straightforward pricing demands equally straightforward updates. We provide straightforward updates that transform NEC requirements, load calculations, and permit procedures into specific actions, timelines, and costs. We flag scope changes instantly, note their code drivers, and outline safety impacts so you can authorize with certainty.
We set clear milestones, supply written modification orders, and document progress with timestamped photos. You'll see labeled circuits, breaker capacities, GFCI/AFCI installations, and grounding upgrades in simple terms. If we propose panel derating or arc-fault protection, we clarify the safety risk, code standard, and cost prior to beginning work.

Project Workflow: From Initial Consultation to Final Walkthrough
Before any tools come out, we start with a thorough on-site consultation to establish scope, load requirements, code compliance requirements, and safety priorities. We verify service capacity, document circuits, identify grounding/bonding specifications, and note access or shutoff procedures. You'll receive a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a fixed-scope proposal with itemized materials and permit requirements.
Following permit approval, we arrange work to reduce outages. We implement lockout/tagout protocols, safeguard finishes, and perform installations according to NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer specs. We identify panels, torque terminations to required standards, and test GFCI/AFCI, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once energized, we verify systems, show operation, and document warranties and maintenance schedules.
The final walkthrough verifies punch-list closure, inspector sign-off, and post installation support details.
