Our outlet upgrades include tamper-proof outlets, countertop GFCI protection, and dedicated appliance circuits to prevent nuisance tripping. We remove hazardous aluminum connections, correct open neutrals, and mark panels with clear labels. We provide permits, inspections, test reports, and documented warranties.
Commercial and Tenant Improvement Solutions
Enter the world of commercial and tenant improvements with a team that designs to code compliance, aligns with your timeline, and ensures uninterrupted business operations. You receive scoped designs, stamped drawings, and seamless installations that work with base-building systems without interfering with revenue hours.
Our services include tenant buildouts, Office rewiring, electrical panel upgrades, and electrical service capacity expansions matched to actual load profiles. We provide coordinated conduit routing, labeling standards, and termination practices that accommodate future expansion. We stage shutdowns, deliver temporary power, and manage cutovers to protect uptime.
Spanning emergency egress lighting, selective coordination, and arc-fault mitigation, we engineer reliable distribution that aligns with equipment specs and landlord stipulations. Metering, low-voltage pathways, and surge protection are planned, documented, and tested, creating a scalable, compliant, and maintainable electrical system.
Safety-First Practices and Code Compliance
You expect 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 providing zero-energy verification before any work starts. We pull the required permits, coordinate inspections, and provide as-built records to guarantee your system passes on the first review.
National Electrical Code and Seattle Codes
Even though every project is different, our work follows the same foundation: strict compliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You obtain designs and installations that satisfy the latest adopted editions, including Seattle's local amendments. We verify conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and fault-current ratings, then document calculations for inspection.
You will encounter compliant service entrance designs with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We apply Article 250 approaches, verify electrode continuity, and test impedance to reduce 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 techniques, and penetrations follow listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and ready-for-inspection compliance reports.
PPE and Lockout/Tagout Procedures
Building 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 lack 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 verified on a known source before and after testing.
You keep control of lock keys, set perimeters, and coordinate shift changes so no device is re-energized prematurely. You re-verify zero energy state in advance of removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring machinery carefully and safely.
Permits & Inspections
In advance of a single conductor gets pulled, permits and inspections set the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You acquire the right permit scope, verify 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 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 maintain as-builts up-to-date, remedy red tags immediately, and initiate re-inspections only when corrections are confirmed. Final sign-off corresponds to panel schedules, torque documentation, and test results.
Honest Costs and Transparent Communication
We provide you with an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We outline the complete scope and total cost before work starts, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. During the project, we deliver plain‑language updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Clear, Itemized Cost Breakdowns
Depend on upfront, itemized estimates that spell out labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work begins. You get a comprehensive breakdown linked to scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI needs, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We synchronize each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you see what's needed and why.
We utilize standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for cost transparency. If field conditions change—hidden 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 details warranty terms, submittals, and disposal methods, guaranteeing safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.
No Secret Charges
Though scopes change during real-world work, our pricing never hides extras. You obtain upfront billing tied to defined tasks, materials, and code-compliant methods, so there are no surprises when we open a panel or trace a circuit. We offer a flat rate for each approved scope segment, determined by labor hours, parts specifications, and required permits. If conditions demand a change, we stop, price it, and seek your authorization.
Our rate structure aligns with NEC-driven processes and safety best practices. We provide transparent costs for GFCIs, AFCIs, grounding upgrades, or service-entrance work. We also offer bundle discounts when you bundle related jobs—like panel upgrades with surge protection—reducing total labor mobilizations. Straightforward pricing, documented assumptions, and locked pricing secure your timeline, financial plan, and safety.
Plain-Language Updates
Straightforward pricing demands equally straightforward updates. You'll get plain-language briefings that translate NEC regulations, load calculations, and permit processes into concrete actions, timelines, and costs. We identify scope changes right away, record their code drivers, and outline safety impacts so you can approve with confidence.
We set clear milestones, supply written modification orders, and document progress with timestamped photos. You receive labeled circuits, breaker capacities, GFCI/AFCI installations, and grounding upgrades in simple terms. Should we recommend panel derating or arc-fault protection, we'll explain the risk, the standard, and the price before work proceeds.
Additionally, you'll receive community updates on outages, inspections, and city initiatives, plus helpful energy advice—like LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to reduce usage while maintaining compliance and safety.
Project Process: From Initial Consultation to Final Walkthrough
Prior to bringing out any equipment, we begin with a detailed on-site consultation to define scope, load requirements, code specifications, and safety priorities. We verify service capacity, map circuits, identify grounding/bonding specifications, and note 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 arrange work to limit outages. We perform lockout/tagout procedures, preserve finishes, and execute installations per NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer specs. We mark panels, torque terminations to spec, and test ground fault and arc fault protection, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once powered up, we commission systems, demonstrate operation, and document warranty details and maintenance tasks.
The final walkthrough verifies punch-list closure, inspector sign-off, and post installation support details.
