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 implement Lockout/Tagout to ensure zero-energy verification before any work starts. We pull the required permits, coordinate inspections, and supply as-built records to confirm your system passes on the first review.
National Electrical Code and Seattle Codes
Though every project is one-of-a-kind, our work is built on the here same foundation: strict conformity to 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 confirm conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and fault-current ratings, then document specifications for inspection.
You will encounter compliant service entrance configurations with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We utilize Article 250 techniques, check electrode continuity, and test impedance to minimize touch voltage during a ground fault. We also make certain AFCI/GFCI protection where required, 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.
Personal Protective Equipment 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 no presence 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 maintain control of lock keys, set perimeters, and coordinate shift changes so no machinery is re-energized too early. You verify again zero energy state before removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring machinery systematically and securely.
Permits and Inspections
In advance of a single conductor is pulled, permits and inspections establish the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You obtain the correct permit scope, confirm fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to prevent 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 stage work for each inspection, using 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, address red tags without delay, and initiate re-inspections only when corrections are validated. Final sign-off matches panel schedules, torque specifications, and test results.
Honest Rates and Straightforward Communication
You get an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We outline total cost and scope before work commences, 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
Expect upfront, itemized estimates that spell out labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work kicks off. You are provided with a thorough breakdown tied 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 needed and why.
We employ standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for transparent pricing. When field conditions differ—buried junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we update the estimate for precision and code adherence, with your approval first. You'll understand timelines, access requirements, utility coordination, and shutoff plans. Our documentation clarifies warranty terms, submittals, and disposal methods, ensuring safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.
No Surprise Fees
While scopes evolve during real-world work, our pricing never hides extras. You obtain upfront billing linked to defined tasks, materials, and code-compliant methods, so there are no surprises 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 pause, price it, and obtain your authorization.
Our pricing framework follows NEC-driven standards and safety best practices. We provide clear costs for grounding enhancements, service-entrance installations, GFCIs, or AFCIs. We also feature bundle discounts when you package related projects—like panel upgrades with surge protection—decreasing total labor mobilizations. Honest numbers, documented assumptions, and fixed pricing safeguard your timeline, financial plan, and safety.
Plain-Language Modifications
Straightforward pricing demands equally straightforward updates. You'll receive clear communications that convert NEC requirements, load calculations, and permit procedures into concrete actions, timelines, and costs. We flag scope changes right away, document their code drivers, and outline safety impacts so you can approve with confidence.
We establish project milestones, deliver documented change orders, and capture timestamped progress photographs. You get circuit labels, breaker sizes, GFCI/AFCI placements, and grounding upgrades presented in clear language. If we propose panel capacity reduction or arc-fault protection systems, we explain the risk, the standard, and the price before work proceeds.
You will also get community updates on power outages, facility inspections, and municipal programs, plus actionable energy suggestions—such as LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to minimize usage while maintaining compliance and safety.
Project Workflow: From Consultation to Final Walkthrough
Before any tools come out, we initiate a comprehensive on-site consultation to establish scope, load requirements, code constraints, and safety priorities. We validate service capacity, map circuits, determine grounding/bonding needs, 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.
Upon permit approval, we plan work to reduce outages. We lockout/tagout, safeguard finishes, and perform installations per NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer requirements. We label panels, torque terminations to specification, and test GFCI/AFCI, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once activated, we verify systems, show operation, and document warranty details and maintenance tasks.
