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 wear task-appropriate PPE and maintain Lockout/Tagout providing zero-energy verification before any work starts. We pull the required permits, coordinate inspections, and provide as-built records to ensure your system passes on the first review.
National Electrical Code and Seattle Codes
While each project is unique, our work is built on the same fundamental approach: strict compliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You obtain designs and installations that conform to 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'll see compliant service entrance layouts with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We implement Article 250 procedures, validate electrode continuity, and test impedance to restrict 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 methods, and penetrations comply with listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and ready-for-inspection compliance reports.
Personal Protective Equipment and Lockout/Tagout
Founded upon compliant design and installation, field work adheres to 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 validated on a known source before and after testing.
You keep control of access keys, post boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no device is re-energized too early. You verify again zero energy state prior to removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring machinery carefully and safely.
Permits & Inspections
Prior to a single conductor is pulled, permits and inspections establish the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You acquire the appropriate 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 precise 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 up-to-date, remedy red tags promptly, and request re-inspections only when corrections are validated. Final sign-off aligns with panel schedules, torque records, and test results.
Straightforward Costs and Clear Communication
We provide you with an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We outline the complete scope and total cost before work begins, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. During the project, we provide easy-to-understand updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Clear, Detailed Estimates
Count on upfront, comprehensive estimates that clarify labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work starts. You obtain a complete breakdown tied to scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI demands, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We align each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you know what's necessary and why.
We use standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for cost transparency. When field conditions vary—buried junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we adjust 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.
Zero Hidden Costs
Although scopes evolve 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 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 require a change, we stop, price it, and obtain your authorization.
Our pricing framework follows NEC-driven processes and safety best practices. You'll see transparent costs for AFCIs, GFCIs, service-entrance work, or grounding upgrades. We also offer bundle discounts when you package related projects—like panel upgrades with surge protection—reducing total labor mobilizations. Straightforward pricing, documented assumptions, and guaranteed pricing safeguard your schedule, budget, and safety.
Clear-Language Updates
Clear pricing only works when updates are just as clear. We provide straightforward updates that transform NEC requirements, load calculations, and permit procedures into concrete actions, timelines, and costs. We flag scope changes instantly, record their code drivers, and detail safety impacts so you can authorize with certainty.
We schedule milestones, provide written change orders, and timestamp progress photos. You get labeled circuits, breaker capacities, GFCI/AFCI installations, and grounding upgrades in simple terms. If we propose derating your panel or installing arc-fault protection, we explain the risks involved, applicable standards, and associated costs before we proceed with the work.
Additionally, you'll receive community updates on outages, inspections, and city initiatives, plus useful energy suggestions—such as LED retrofits, smart here controls, and load management—to minimize usage while upholding compliance and safety.
Project Workflow: From Consultation to Final Walkthrough
Before we begin any physical work, we begin with a comprehensive on-site consultation to establish scope, load requirements, code compliance requirements, and safety priorities. We verify service capacity, chart circuits, identify grounding/bonding requirements, and record access or shutoff procedures. You'll receive a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a fixed-scope proposal with specified materials and permit requirements.
Following permit approval, we arrange work to minimize outages. We perform lockout/tagout procedures, protect finishes, and complete installations per NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer requirements. We mark panels, torque terminations to spec, and test GFCI and AFCI devices, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once activated, we commission systems, present operation, and document warranties and maintenance requirements.
The final walkthrough verifies punch-list closure, inspector sign-off, and post installation support details.
