Safety-Focused Practices and Code Compliance
You require 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 providing zero-energy verification before any work starts. We secure the required permits, coordinate inspections, and supply as-built records to guarantee your system passes on the first review.
NEC and Seattle Codes
While each project is unique, our work maintains the same fundamental approach: strict alignment with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You receive designs and installations that conform to the latest adopted editions, including Seattle's local amendments. We check conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and fault-current ratings, then document calculations for inspection.
You'll find compliant service entrance arrangements with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We utilize Article 250 methods, verify electrode continuity, and test impedance to minimize touch voltage during a ground fault. We also make certain AFCI/GFCI protection where mandated, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, wiring procedures, and penetrations comply with listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and code-compliant compliance reports.
PPE and LOTO
Founded upon compliant design and installation, field work adheres to strict PPE and lockout/tagout controls to keep energized hazards at bay. You identify 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 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 confirmed on a known source before and after testing.
You maintain control of access keys, post boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no device is re-energized before clearance. You confirm again zero energy state before removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring machinery carefully and safely.
Permits and Inspections
Before a single conductor gets pulled, permits and inspections define the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You secure the right permit scope, confirm fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to prevent 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 stage work for each inspection, using a detailed 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 ensure as-builts accurate, remedy 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 Open Communication
We provide you with an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We state the complete scope and total cost before work starts, 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.
Upfront, Detailed Price Quotes
Depend on upfront, comprehensive estimates that detail labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work commences. You obtain a thorough breakdown linked to scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI specifications, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We synchronize each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you see what's needed and why.
We use standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for clear cost visibility. When field conditions vary—hidden junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we revise 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, ensuring safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.
Transparent Pricing Only
Although scopes change during real-world work, our pricing never obscures extras. You obtain upfront billing linked to defined tasks, materials, and code-compliant methods, so there are no surprises when we access 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 necessitate a change, we halt, price it, and wait for your authorization.
Our rate structure aligns with NEC-driven standards and safety best practices. You'll find transparent costs for grounding enhancements, service-entrance installations, GFCIs, or AFCIs. We also include bundle discounts when you combine related tasks—like panel upgrades with surge protection—reducing total labor mobilizations. Straightforward pricing, documented assumptions, and guaranteed pricing safeguard your safety, budget, and schedule.
Clear-Language Revisions
Straightforward pricing demands equally straightforward updates. You'll receive clear communications that convert NEC standards, load calculations, and permit procedures into concrete actions, timelines, and costs. We highlight scope changes immediately, note 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 receive circuit labels, breaker sizes, GFCI/AFCI placements, and grounding upgrades presented in clear language. If we recommend panel capacity reduction or arc-fault protection systems, we break down the potential hazard, relevant standard, and pricing before we proceed with the work.
You'll also receive community updates on outages, inspections, and city initiatives, plus actionable energy recommendations—including LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to decrease usage while ensuring compliance and safety.
Project Process: 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 verify service capacity, document circuits, determine grounding/bonding requirements, and record access or shutoff procedures. We'll provide you with a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a detailed scope proposal with listed materials and permit requirements.
Upon permit approval, we arrange work to limit outages. We implement lockout/tagout protocols, safeguard finishes, and perform installations according to NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer specs. We mark panels, torque terminations to required standards, and test ground fault and arc fault protection, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once powered up, we verify systems, demonstrate operation, and document warranty details and maintenance tasks.
Final inspection validates punch-list closure, inspector sign-off, and post installation support details.
