Safety-First Practices and Code Compliance
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 enforce Lockout/Tagout to ensure zero-energy verification before any work begins. We secure the required permits, coordinate inspections, and supply as-built records to guarantee your system passes on the first review.
Seattle Codes & NEC
Although every project is unique, our work adheres to the same core principles: strict alignment with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You receive designs and installations that comply with the latest adopted editions, including Seattle's local amendments. We validate conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and fault-current ratings, then document specifications for inspection.
You will see compliant service entrance layouts with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We apply Article 250 approaches, check 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 techniques, and penetrations adhere to listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and code-compliant compliance reports.
Personal Protective Equipment and Lockout/Tagout
Building on 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 no presence 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 validated on a known source before and after testing.
You retain control of access keys, establish boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no device is re-energized before clearance. You verify again zero energy state prior to removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring machinery methodically and safely.
Permits and Inspections
In advance of a single conductor gets installed, permits and inspections define the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You secure the appropriate permit scope, verify fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to stop idle crews and rushed work. You review 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 current, address red tags without delay, and submit re-inspections only when corrections are confirmed. Final sign-off matches panel schedules, torque specifications, and test results.
Clear Fees and Direct Communication
We provide you with an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We state 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.
Upfront, Detailed Price Quotes
Rely on upfront, comprehensive estimates that clarify labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work starts. You receive a detailed breakdown tied 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 know what's required and why.
We utilize standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for transparent pricing. When field conditions change—concealed junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we revise the estimate for compliance and accuracy, with your approval first. You'll understand timelines, access specifications, utility coordination, and shutoff plans. Our documentation details warranty terms, submittals, and disposal methods, ensuring 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 receive upfront billing connected to defined tasks, materials, and code-compliant methods, so you won't face unexpected costs when we examine a panel or trace a circuit. We offer a flat rate for each approved scope segment, based on labor hours, parts specifications, and required permits. If conditions demand a change, we pause, price it, and obtain your authorization.
Our rate structure aligns with NEC-driven processes and safety best practices. You'll receive clear costs for service-entrance work, grounding upgrades, AFCIs, or GFCIs. We also offer bundle discounts when you combine related tasks—like panel upgrades with surge protection—lowering total labor mobilizations. Transparent math, documented assumptions, and locked pricing safeguard your timeline, financial plan, and safety.
Simple-Language Updates
Clear pricing only works when updates are just as clear. You'll receive clear communications that convert NEC requirements, load calculations, and permit steps into concrete actions, timelines, and costs. We flag scope changes immediately, document their code drivers, and detail safety impacts so you can make informed decisions.
We establish project milestones, deliver documented change orders, and capture timestamped progress photographs. You see labeled circuits, breaker capacities, GFCI/AFCI installations, and grounding upgrades presented in clear language. Should we recommend derating your panel or installing arc-fault protection, we break down the risk, the standard, and the price before we proceed with the work.
You'll also receive community updates on outages, infrastructure inspections, and community programs, plus practical energy advice—like LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to minimize usage while maintaining compliance and safety.
Project Workflow: From Consultation to Final Walkthrough
Prior to bringing out any equipment, we initiate a thorough on-site consultation to determine scope, load requirements, code specifications, and safety priorities. We confirm service capacity, document circuits, assess grounding/bonding requirements, and note access or shutoff procedures. We'll provide you with a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a clearly defined proposal with specified materials and permit requirements.
Upon permit approval, we schedule work to limit outages. We implement lockout/tagout protocols, preserve finishes, and complete installations per NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer specifications. We label panels, torque terminations to spec, and test GFCI/AFCI, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once energized, we commission systems, demonstrate operation, and document warranties and maintenance requirements.
Final walkthrough confirms punch-list closure, inspector sign-off, and post installation support details.
Final inspection validates all punch-list items, inspector sign-off, and post installation support details.
The final walkthrough verifies punch-list closure, inspector authorization, and post installation support details.
