We utilize task-appropriate PPE and maintain Lockout/Tagout providing zero-energy verification before any work commences. We secure the required permits, coordinate inspections, and deliver as-built records to guarantee your system passes on the first review.
Seattle Codes and NEC
Although each project is distinct, our work follows the same fundamental approach: strict alignment with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You receive designs and installations that satisfy the latest adopted editions, including Seattle's local amendments. We confirm conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and fault-current ratings, then document calculations for inspection.
You will encounter compliant service entrance layouts with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We implement Article 250 methods, validate electrode continuity, and test impedance to reduce touch voltage during a ground fault. We also make certain AFCI/GFCI protection where necessary, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, wiring procedures, and penetrations adhere to listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and inspection-ready compliance reports.
PPE and Lockout/Tagout Procedures
Based on compliant design and installation, field work adheres to strict PPE and lockout/tagout controls to keep energized hazards at bay. You determine 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 matched to 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 retain control of lock keys, establish boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no machinery is re-energized before clearance. You verify again zero energy state prior to removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring devices methodically and safely.
Permits & Inspections
Before a single conductor gets pulled, permits and inspections define the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You secure the appropriate permit scope, validate fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to stop 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 inspection, employing a thorough 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 up-to-date, remedy red tags immediately, and request re-inspections only when corrections are confirmed. Final sign-off matches panel schedules, torque records, and test results.
Transparent Costs and Straightforward Communication
You receive 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 commences, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. While work progresses, we deliver clear, straightforward updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Clear, Detailed Estimates
Count on upfront, detailed estimates that outline labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work starts. You get a complete breakdown linked to scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI demands, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We align each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you understand what's mandated and why.
We utilize standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for clear cost visibility. If field conditions change—concealed junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we adjust 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, guaranteeing safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.

Project Journey: From Consultation to Final Walkthrough
Before we begin any physical work, we begin with a thorough on-site consultation to define scope, load requirements, code specifications, and safety priorities. We confirm service capacity, chart circuits, identify grounding/bonding needs, and document access or shutoff procedures. You will get a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a detailed scope proposal with specified materials and permit requirements.
Upon permit approval, we plan work to minimize outages. We perform lockout/tagout procedures, safeguard finishes, and perform installations per NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer requirements. We mark panels, torque terminations to specification, and test GFCI and AFCI devices, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once powered up, we validate systems, show operation, and document warranties and maintenance schedules.
The final walkthrough verifies punch-list closure, inspector sign-off, and post installation support details.
