Code Compliance and Safety-First 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 implement Lockout/Tagout so you get zero-energy verification before any work starts. We pull the required permits, coordinate inspections, and deliver as-built records to ensure your system passes on the first review.
NEC & Seattle Codes
While every project is unique, our work follows the same fundamental approach: strict compliance 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'll find compliant service entrance configurations with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We utilize Article 250 methods, check electrode continuity, and test impedance to limit touch voltage during a ground fault. We also guarantee AFCI/GFCI protection where specified, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, wiring techniques, and penetrations follow listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and code-compliant compliance reports.
PPE and Lockout/Tagout
Based on 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 absence 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, set perimeters, and coordinate shift changes so no machinery is re-energized too early. You verify again zero energy state in advance of removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring equipment methodically and safely.
Permitting and Inspections
Before a single conductor gets pulled, permits and inspections define the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You obtain the right 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 detailed inspection checklist: rough-in box calculations, staple interval requirements, conductor derating, conduit support specifications, working clearance standards, service disconnect marking, bonding jumper connections, and arc-fault/GFCI protection checks. You ensure as-builts accurate, remedy red tags promptly, and initiate re-inspections only when corrections are verified. Final sign-off aligns with panel schedules, torque documentation, and test results.
Straightforward Pricing and Transparent Communication
You get an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We outline scope and total cost before work starts, 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.
Transparent, Detailed Estimates
Count on upfront, comprehensive estimates that spell out labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work starts. 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 align each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you see what's necessary and why.
We use standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for clear cost visibility. If field conditions vary—buried junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we revise the estimate for accuracy and compliance, with your approval first. You'll understand timelines, access needs, utility coordination, and shutoff plans. Our documentation clarifies warranty terms, submittals, and disposal methods, providing safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.
No Hidden Charges
Although 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 there are no surprises when we open a panel or trace a circuit. We quote a flat rate for each approved scope segment, determined by labor hours, parts specifications, and required permits. If conditions necessitate a change, we stop, price it, and obtain your authorization.
Our rate structure aligns with NEC-driven processes and safety best practices. We provide 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—minimizing total labor mobilizations. Clear calculations, documented assumptions, and fixed pricing protect your schedule, budget, and safety.
Clear-Language Revisions
Clear pricing only works when updates are just as clear. We provide straightforward updates that transform NEC standards, load calculations, and permit procedures into concrete actions, timelines, and costs. We highlight scope changes right away, note their code drivers, and document safety impacts so you can make informed decisions.
We set clear milestones, supply written modification orders, and document progress with timestamped photos. You see circuit labeling, breaker sizing, GFCI/AFCI positioning, and grounding improvements presented in clear language. When we suggest panel derating or arc-fault protection, we clarify the risk, the standard, and the price before we proceed with the work.
You will also get community updates on service interruptions, system inspections, and local initiatives, plus helpful energy tips—like LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to decrease usage while maintaining compliance and safety.
Project Workflow: From Consultation to Final Walkthrough
Before we begin any physical work, we initiate a comprehensive on-site consultation to define scope, load requirements, code specifications, and safety priorities. We confirm service capacity, document circuits, determine grounding/bonding specifications, and document 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 schedule work to reduce outages. We perform lockout/tagout procedures, protect finishes, and perform installations according to NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer specs. We label panels, torque terminations to specification, and test GFCI and AFCI devices, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once powered up, we validate systems, demonstrate operation, and document warranties and maintenance tasks.
Final inspection validates punch-list closure, inspector sign-off, and post installation support details.
