Safety-Priority Practices and Code Compliance
We deliver 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 so you get zero-energy verification before any work begins. We secure the required permits, coordinate inspections, and deliver as-built records to ensure your system passes on the first review.
Seattle Codes and NEC
Even though every project is different, our work maintains the same fundamental approach: strict alignment with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You obtain designs and installations that comply with 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 will see compliant service entrance layouts with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We employ Article 250 approaches, validate electrode continuity, and test impedance to restrict 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 conform to listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and ready-for-inspection compliance reports.
PPE and Lockout/Tagout
Based 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 lack 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 verified on a known source before and after testing.
You retain control of keys, set perimeters, and coordinate shift changes so no device is re-energized prematurely. You re-verify zero energy state prior to removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring machinery systematically and securely.
Building Permits and Inspections
In advance of a single conductor is pulled, permits and inspections establish the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You acquire the right permit scope, validate fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to avoid 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 prepare work for each inspection, employing a detailed 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 keep as-builts accurate, remedy red tags immediately, and submit re-inspections only when corrections are confirmed. Final sign-off matches panel schedules, torque documentation, and test results.
Clear Pricing and Straightforward Communication
You receive 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. Throughout the job, we give you plain‑language 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 kicks off. You get a complete breakdown aligned with scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI needs, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We align each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you understand what's necessary and why.
We utilize standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for clear cost visibility. Should field conditions change—buried 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 requirements, 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 Hidden Fees
Although scopes evolve during real-world work, our pricing never conceals extras. You receive upfront billing tied 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, calculated from labor hours, parts specifications, and required permits. If conditions demand a change, we halt, price it, and obtain your authorization.
Our cost structure adheres to NEC-driven protocols and safety best practices. We provide clear costs for AFCIs, GFCIs, service-entrance work, or grounding upgrades. We also provide bundle discounts when you package related jobs—like panel upgrades with surge protection—minimizing total labor mobilizations.

We organize milestones, furnish written change orders, and record timestamped progress images. You get labeled circuits, breaker capacities, GFCI/AFCI installations, and grounding upgrades explained in straightforward language. If we propose derating your panel or installing arc-fault protection, we'll explain the potential hazard, relevant standard, and pricing before work proceeds.
You'll additionally obtain community updates on outages, infrastructure inspections, and community check here programs, plus actionable energy recommendations—including LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to minimize usage while upholding 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 confirm service capacity, document circuits, determine grounding/bonding requirements, and document access or shutoff procedures. You will get a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a clearly defined proposal with itemized materials and permit requirements.
After permit approval, we schedule work to minimize outages. We implement lockout/tagout protocols, preserve finishes, and perform installations according to NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer specs. We label panels, torque terminations to required standards, and test GFCI/AFCI, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once powered up, we verify systems, present operation, and document warranty details and maintenance schedules.
