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 wear task-appropriate PPE and enforce Lockout/Tagout so you get zero-energy verification before any work starts. We obtain the required permits, coordinate inspections, and provide as-built records to confirm your system passes on the first review.

Seattle Codes and National Electrical Code

Though each project is different, our work follows the same basis: strict alignment with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You obtain 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 calculations for inspection.

You'll find compliant service entrance arrangements with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We utilize Article 250 techniques, verify electrode continuity, and test impedance to restrict 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 methods, and penetrations adhere to listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and code-compliant compliance reports.

Personal Protective Equipment and Lockout/Tagout Systems

Building 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 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 maintain control of keys, post boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no equipment is re-energized too early. You confirm again zero energy state prior to removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring equipment carefully and safely.

Permits Plus Inspections

Before a single conductor is pulled, permits and inspections establish the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You obtain the appropriate permit scope, confirm fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to stop 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 organize work for every inspection, utilizing 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 keep as-builts current, remedy red tags without delay, and initiate re-inspections only when corrections are verified. Final sign-off corresponds to panel schedules, torque documentation, and test results.

Straightforward Fees 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 commences, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. Throughout the job, we provide clear, straightforward updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.

Transparent, Detailed Estimates

Count on upfront, line-by-line estimates that outline labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work starts. You get a complete breakdown connected to scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI requirements, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We align each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you see what's necessary and why.

We utilize standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for cost transparency. If field conditions vary—buried junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we revise the estimate for compliance and accuracy, with your approval first. You'll be informed of timelines, access needs, utility coordination, and shutoff plans. Our documentation clarifies warranty terms, submittals, and disposal methods, ensuring safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.

Project Workflow: From Initial Consultation to Final Walkthrough

Before any tools come out, we begin with a thorough on-site consultation to define scope, load requirements, code constraints, and safety priorities. We validate service capacity, map circuits, determine grounding/bonding requirements, and document access or shutoff procedures. You'll receive a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a clearly defined proposal with itemized materials and permit requirements.

Following permit approval, we arrange work to reduce outages. We perform lockout/tagout procedures, preserve finishes, and complete installations in compliance with NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer requirements. We label panels, torque terminations to specification, and test ground fault and arc fault protection, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once activated, we commission systems, show operation, and document warranties and maintenance requirements.
