Safety-Priority Practices and Code Compliance
You expect strict adherence to the NEC and Seattle Electrical Code, with clear documentation of conductor sizing, grounding, and fault protection. We utilize task-appropriate PPE and maintain Lockout/Tagout providing zero-energy verification before any work begins. We obtain the required permits, coordinate inspections, and supply as-built records to ensure your system passes on the first review.
NEC and Seattle Codes
Even though each project is different, our work follows the same fundamental approach: 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 verify conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and fault-current ratings, then document calculations for inspection.
You'll see compliant service entrance arrangements with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We implement Article 250 approaches, validate electrode continuity, and test impedance to restrict touch voltage during a ground fault. We also guarantee AFCI/GFCI protection where necessary, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, wiring procedures, and penetrations follow listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and ready-for-inspection compliance reports.
Personal Protective Equipment and Lockout/Tagout Systems
Building on compliant design and installation, field work maintains strict PPE and lockout/tagout controls to keep energized hazards at bay. You locate 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 appropriate for 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 verified on a known source before and after testing.
You keep control of keys, set perimeters, and coordinate shift changes so no equipment is re-energized prematurely. You confirm again zero energy state in advance of removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring equipment methodically and safely.
Permitting and Inspections
In advance of a single conductor gets pulled, permits and inspections define 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 stop 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 organize work for every inspection, utilizing 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 maintain as-builts current, address red tags without delay, and initiate re-inspections only when corrections are verified. Final sign-off aligns with panel schedules, torque documentation, and test results.
Straightforward Fees and Transparent Communication
You get an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We specify the complete scope and total cost before work commences, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. While work progresses, we provide easy-to-understand updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Upfront, Itemized Estimates
Count on upfront, itemized estimates that detail labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work kicks off. You are provided with a comprehensive breakdown linked to scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI specifications, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We tie each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you see what's mandated and why.
We use standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for cost transparency. Should field conditions vary—concealed junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we revise the estimate for precision and code adherence, with your approval first. You'll know timelines, access requirements, utility coordination, and shutoff plans. Our documentation details warranty terms, submittals, and disposal methods, providing safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.
No Hidden Fees
While scopes evolve during real-world work, our pricing never hides 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 quote a flat rate for each approved scope segment, calculated from labor hours, parts specifications, and required permits. If conditions require a change, we halt, price it, and wait for your authorization.
Our fee system complies with NEC-driven procedures and safety best practices. You'll see detailed costs for GFCIs, AFCIs, grounding upgrades, or service-entrance work. We also feature bundle discounts when you package related services—like panel upgrades with surge protection—minimizing total labor mobilizations. Clear calculations, documented assumptions, and set pricing protect your safety, budget, and schedule.
Clear-Language Updates
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 tangible actions, timelines, and costs. We identify scope changes instantly, record their code drivers, and document safety impacts so you can authorize with certainty.
We organize milestones, furnish written change orders, and record timestamped progress images. You receive labeled circuits, breaker capacities, GFCI/AFCI installations, and grounding upgrades presented in clear language. Should we recommend panel derating or arc-fault protection, we clarify the risks involved, applicable standards, and associated costs before we proceed with the work.
You'll additionally obtain community updates on power outages, facility inspections, and municipal programs, plus actionable energy advice—like LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to minimize usage while upholding compliance and safety.
Project Workflow: From Consultation Through Final Walkthrough
Prior to bringing out any equipment, we start with a thorough on-site consultation to define scope, load requirements, code specifications, and safety priorities. We validate service capacity, chart circuits, identify grounding/bonding specifications, and note access or shutoff procedures. You'll receive a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a clearly defined proposal with listed materials and permit requirements.
Following permit approval, we plan work to limit outages. We lockout/tagout, safeguard finishes, and execute installations per NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer specs. We label panels, torque terminations to specification, and test ground fault and arc fault protection, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once powered up, we verify systems, present operation, and document warranty details and maintenance tasks.
