Our outlet upgrades include child-safe receptacles, countertop GFCI protection, and dedicated appliance circuits to eliminate nuisance trips. We eliminate dangerous aluminum terminations, correct open neutrals, and mark panels with clear labels. You'll receive permits, inspections, test reports, and documented warranties.
Business and Tenant Improvement Solutions
Enter the world of commercial and tenant improvements with a team that engineers to code, schedules to your milestones, and keeps operations safe and online. You obtain scoped designs, stamped drawings, and clean installations that integrate with base-building systems without interrupting revenue hours.
We manage tenant improvements, Office rewiring, service panel enhancements, and power capacity enhancements sized to actual load profiles. We provide coordinated conduit routing, labeling standards, and termination practices that facilitate future expansion. We coordinate shutdowns, provide temporary power, and manage cutovers to preserve uptime.
Covering everything from emergency egress lighting through selective coordination to arc-fault mitigation, we build robust distribution that adheres to equipment requirements and landlord standards. Surge protection, metering, and low-voltage pathways are designed, documented, and verified, delivering a maintainable, compliant, and scalable electrical system.
Code Compliance and Safety-Focused Practices
You expect 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 enforce Lockout/Tagout so you get zero-energy verification before any work begins. We obtain the required permits, coordinate inspections, and deliver as-built records to guarantee your system passes on the first review.
NEC and Seattle Codes
Though every project is one-of-a-kind, our work maintains the same fundamental approach: strict adherence to the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You get designs and installations that meet 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'll observe compliant service entrance arrangements with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We employ Article 250 methods, validate electrode continuity, and test impedance to restrict 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 methods, and penetrations follow listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and inspection-ready 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 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 appropriate for 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 validated on a known source before and after testing.
You maintain control of keys, post boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no machinery is re-energized prematurely. You re-verify zero energy state before removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring equipment methodically and safely.
Permits and Inspections
Before a single conductor gets pulled, permits and inspections establish the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You obtain the correct 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 precise 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 current, remedy red tags without delay, and initiate re-inspections only when corrections are validated. Final sign-off matches panel schedules, torque specifications, and test results.
Transparent Costs and Direct Communication
You receive an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We outline scope and total cost before work begins, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. Throughout the job, we provide plain‑language updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Transparent, Detailed Estimates
Rely on upfront, itemized estimates that outline labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work begins. You obtain 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 tie each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you know what's mandated and why.
We use standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for transparent pricing. If field conditions differ—concealed junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we adjust the estimate for accuracy and compliance, with your approval first. You'll understand timelines, access specifications, utility coordination, and shutoff plans. Our documentation details warranty terms, submittals, and disposal methods, ensuring safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.
No Concealed Fees
While scopes change during real-world work, our pricing never hides extras. You get upfront billing tied to defined tasks, materials, and code-compliant methods, so no hidden charges emerge when we open 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 necessitate a change, we halt, price it, and obtain your authorization.
Our cost structure adheres to 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 group related projects—like panel upgrades with surge protection—reducing total labor mobilizations. Transparent math, documented assumptions, and set pricing secure your safety, budget, and schedule.
Plain-Language Modifications
Clear pricing only works when updates are just as clear. You'll receive clear communications that convert NEC standards, load calculations, and permit steps into specific actions, timelines, and costs. We highlight scope changes instantly, note their code drivers, and outline safety impacts so here you can make informed decisions.
We schedule milestones, provide written change orders, and timestamp progress photos. You receive labeled circuits, breaker capacities, GFCI/AFCI installations, and grounding upgrades in simple terms. If we recommend derating your panel or installing arc-fault protection, we clarify the potential hazard, relevant standard, and pricing before any work starts.
Additionally, you'll receive community updates on service interruptions, system inspections, and local initiatives, plus practical energy suggestions—such as LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to reduce usage while preserving compliance and safety.
Project Process: From Initial Consultation to Final Walkthrough
Before any tools come out, we start with a detailed on-site consultation to establish scope, load requirements, code compliance requirements, and safety priorities. We validate service capacity, document circuits, identify grounding/bonding specifications, and document access or shutoff procedures. We'll provide you with a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a detailed scope proposal with itemized materials and permit requirements.
Upon permit approval, we schedule work to limit outages. We perform lockout/tagout procedures, protect finishes, and complete installations according to NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer specs. We mark panels, torque terminations to specification, and test ground fault and arc fault protection, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once energized, we commission systems, demonstrate operation, and document warranties and maintenance tasks.
The final walkthrough verifies punch-list closure, inspector sign-off, and post installation support details.
