Code Compliance and Safety-Priority Practices

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 implement Lockout/Tagout to ensure zero-energy verification before any work commences. We pull the required permits, coordinate inspections, and deliver as-built records to confirm your system passes on the first review.

Seattle Codes & NEC

Even though each project is unique, our work adheres to the same fundamental approach: strict alignment with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You receive designs and installations that comply with the latest adopted editions, including Seattle's local amendments. We check conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and fault-current ratings, then document specifications for inspection.

You will encounter compliant service entrance layouts with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We follow Article 250 approaches, confirm electrode continuity, and test impedance to restrict touch voltage during a ground fault. We also verify 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.

Personal Protective Equipment and LOTO

Founded upon compliant design and installation, field work adheres to 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 keep control of access keys, establish boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no equipment is re-energized prematurely. You verify again zero energy state before removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring devices systematically and securely.

Permits & Inspections

Before a single conductor is pulled, permits and inspections set the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You secure the right permit scope, confirm 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 prepare work for each inspection, employing a precise 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 maintain as-builts current, remedy red tags immediately, and request re-inspections only when corrections are verified. Final sign-off aligns with panel schedules, torque records, and test results.

Open Rates and Direct Communication

You get an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We specify scope and total cost before work starts, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. While work progresses, we deliver easy-to-understand updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.

Transparent, Detailed Estimates

Count on upfront, comprehensive estimates that clarify labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work starts. You obtain a thorough breakdown tied to scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI needs, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We tie each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you understand what's required and why.

We employ standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for clear cost visibility. When field conditions vary—concealed 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, providing safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.

No Surprise Fees

While scopes evolve during real-world work, our pricing never obscures extras. You obtain upfront billing tied to defined tasks, materials, and code-compliant methods, so no hidden charges emerge when we examine a panel or trace a circuit. We provide a flat rate for each approved scope segment, determined by labor hours, parts specifications, and required permits. If conditions necessitate a change, we pause, price it, and seek your authorization.

Our pricing framework follows NEC-driven standards and safety best practices. We provide straightforward costs for service-entrance work, grounding upgrades, AFCIs, or GFCIs. We also offer bundle discounts when you package related jobs—like panel upgrades with surge protection—minimizing total labor mobilizations. Transparent math, documented assumptions, and guaranteed pricing protect your budget, schedule, and safety.

Plain-Language Revisions

Transparent pricing requires equally transparent updates. You'll receive clear communications that convert NEC regulations, load calculations, and permit steps into tangible actions, timelines, and costs. We highlight scope changes right away, document their code drivers, and document safety impacts so you can make informed decisions.

We organize milestones, furnish written change orders, and record timestamped progress images. You receive labeled circuits, breaker capacities, GFCI/AFCI installations, and grounding upgrades explained in straightforward language. When we suggest derating your panel or installing arc-fault protection, we break down the potential hazard, relevant standard, and pricing prior to beginning work.

Additionally, you'll receive community updates on outages, inspections, and city initiatives, plus helpful energy suggestions—such as LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to lower usage while ensuring compliance and safety.

Project Workflow: From Consultation Through Final Walkthrough

Before we begin any physical work, we begin with a detailed on-site consultation to define scope, load requirements, code compliance requirements, and safety priorities. We verify 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 detailed scope proposal with itemized materials and permit requirements.

After permit approval, we schedule work to limit outages. We lockout/tagout, preserve finishes, and perform installations according to NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer specifications. We mark panels, torque terminations to required standards, and test GFCI and click here AFCI devices, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once powered up, we verify systems, show operation, and document warranty details and maintenance schedules.

Final inspection validates punch-list closure, inspector sign-off, and post installation support details.
