Safety-Priority 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 utilize task-appropriate PPE and enforce Lockout/Tagout so you get zero-energy verification before any work begins. We secure 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 every project is one-of-a-kind, our work adheres to the same fundamental approach: strict alignment with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You get 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 computations for inspection.
You will see compliant service entrance layouts with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We utilize Article 250 methods, check electrode continuity, and test impedance to minimize touch voltage during a ground fault. We also verify AFCI/GFCI protection where needed, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, wiring techniques, and penetrations conform to listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and inspection-compliant compliance reports.
Personal Protective Equipment and Lockout/Tagout
Based on compliant design and installation, field work follows strict PPE and lockout/tagout controls to keep energized hazards at bay. You determine 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 retain control of lock keys, establish boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no device is re-energized prematurely. You confirm again zero energy state prior to removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring machinery carefully and safely.
Licensing and Inspections
In advance of a single conductor gets pulled, permits and inspections establish the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You acquire the appropriate permit scope, validate fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to avoid 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 prepare work for each more info inspection, employing 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 maintain as-builts accurate, resolve red tags without delay, and request re-inspections only when corrections are validated. Final sign-off matches panel schedules, torque records, and test results.
Honest Costs and Straightforward Communication
We provide you with an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We state total cost and scope before work starts, 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.
Transparent, Itemized Pricing
Count on upfront, detailed estimates that outline labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work starts. You receive a detailed breakdown connected to scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI specifications, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We match each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you understand what's needed and why.
We employ standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for clear cost visibility. If field conditions differ—hidden 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 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.
Zero Hidden Costs
Although scopes shift during real-world work, our pricing never obscures extras. You obtain upfront billing linked 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 provide 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 pricing framework follows NEC-driven protocols and safety best practices. You'll find detailed costs for GFCIs, AFCIs, grounding upgrades, or service-entrance work. We also provide bundle discounts when you bundle related jobs—like panel upgrades with surge protection—decreasing total labor mobilizations. Transparent math, documented assumptions, and locked pricing secure your budget, schedule, and safety.
Simple-Language Revisions
Transparent pricing requires equally transparent updates. We provide straightforward updates that transform NEC regulations, load calculations, and permit procedures into concrete actions, timelines, and costs. We flag scope changes right away, note their code drivers, and outline safety impacts so you can approve with confidence.
We organize milestones, furnish written change orders, and record timestamped progress images. You get circuit labels, breaker sizes, GFCI/AFCI placements, and grounding upgrades described in easy-to-understand terms. Should we recommend derating your panel or installing arc-fault protection, we break down the risks involved, applicable standards, and associated costs before we proceed with the work.
You'll also receive community updates on service interruptions, system inspections, and local initiatives, plus useful energy tips—like LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to lower usage while ensuring compliance and safety.
Project Workflow: From Initial Consultation to Final Walkthrough
Before we begin any physical work, we start with a thorough on-site consultation to establish scope, load requirements, code constraints, and safety priorities. We validate service capacity, chart circuits, identify grounding/bonding needs, and record access or shutoff procedures. You'll receive a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a detailed scope proposal with listed materials and permit requirements.
Upon permit approval, we plan work to reduce outages. We lockout/tagout, protect finishes, and complete installations according to NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer specifications. We identify panels, torque terminations to required standards, and test GFCI and AFCI devices, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once powered up, we validate systems, present operation, and document warranty details and maintenance schedules.
