We provide tenant buildouts, office electrical rewiring, distribution panel improvements, and service capacity increases matched to actual load profiles. We provide coordinated conduit routing, marking conventions, and termination practices that allow for future expansion. We coordinate shutdowns, deliver temporary power, and schedule cutovers to maintain uptime.
From emergency egress lighting to selective coordination and arc-fault mitigation, we build reliable distribution that meets equipment specifications and landlord requirements. Low-voltage pathways, metering, and surge protection are planned, documented, and tested, ensuring a compliant, maintainable, and scalable electrical system.
Code Compliance and Safety-Focused 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 so you get zero-energy verification before any work starts. We secure the required permits, coordinate inspections, and supply as-built records to ensure your system passes on the first review.
Seattle Codes and National Electrical Code
Even though each project is different, our work is built on the same foundation: strict conformity to the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You obtain designs and installations that meet 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'll find compliant service entrance arrangements with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We apply Article 250 methods, confirm electrode continuity, and test impedance to minimize touch voltage during a ground fault. We also confirm AFCI/GFCI protection where specified, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, wiring procedures, and penetrations adhere to listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and ready-for-inspection compliance reports.
Personal Protective Equipment and Lockout/Tagout Systems
Based 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 lack 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 confirmed on a known source before and after testing.
You retain control of lock keys, set perimeters, and coordinate shift changes so no equipment is re-energized too early. You re-verify zero energy state before removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring equipment systematically and securely.
Permitting and Inspections
Prior to a single conductor is pulled, permits and inspections define the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You obtain the appropriate permit scope, verify 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 precise 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 accurate, resolve red tags promptly, and initiate re-inspections only when corrections are confirmed. Final sign-off matches panel schedules, torque documentation, and test results.
Honest Rates and Straightforward Communication
You get an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We specify scope and total cost before work starts, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. During the project, we deliver clear, straightforward updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Transparent, Detailed Estimates
Rely on upfront, detailed estimates that spell out labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work commences. You obtain a complete 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 mandated and why.
We utilize standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for transparent pricing. Should field conditions change—buried junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we update the estimate for precision and code adherence, with your approval first. You'll understand timelines, access specifications, 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 Concealed Fees
Although scopes shift during real-world work, our pricing never obscures extras. You get upfront billing connected to defined tasks, materials, and code-compliant methods, so no hidden charges emerge 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 demand a change, we halt, price it, and wait for your authorization.
Our rate structure aligns with NEC-driven processes and safety best practices. We provide straightforward costs for AFCIs, GFCIs, service-entrance work, or grounding upgrades. We also feature bundle discounts when you bundle related services—like panel upgrades with surge protection—decreasing total labor mobilizations. Honest numbers, documented assumptions, and locked pricing secure your budget, schedule, and safety.
Simple-Language Modifications
Clear pricing only works when updates are just as clear. We provide straightforward updates that transform NEC standards, load calculations, and permit steps into tangible actions, timelines, and costs. We identify scope changes right away, document their code drivers, and outline safety impacts so you can make informed decisions.
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. Should we recommend panel derating or arc-fault protection, we'll explain the risk, the standard, and the price before any work starts.
You'll additionally obtain community updates on power outages, facility inspections, and municipal programs, plus useful energy recommendations—including LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to reduce usage while preserving compliance and safety.
Project Journey: From Consultation Through Final Walkthrough
Before we begin any physical work, we start with a thorough on-site consultation to determine scope, load requirements, code compliance requirements, and safety priorities. We confirm service capacity, chart circuits, determine grounding/bonding needs, and note access or shutoff procedures. You will get a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a clearly defined proposal with specified materials and permit requirements.
Upon permit approval, we plan work to minimize outages. We implement lockout/tagout protocols, safeguard finishes, and perform installations per NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer specs. We identify panels, torque terminations to required standards, and test GFCI/AFCI, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once powered up, we commission systems, show operation, and document warranty information and maintenance schedules.
