Safety-Priority 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 utilize task-appropriate PPE and implement Lockout/Tagout providing zero-energy verification before any work begins. We secure the required permits, coordinate inspections, and supply as-built records to confirm your system passes on the first review.
Seattle Codes & NEC
While each project is different, our work follows the same core principles: strict alignment with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You receive designs and installations that conform to 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'll observe compliant service entrance designs with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We employ Article 250 procedures, validate electrode continuity, and test impedance to restrict touch voltage during a ground fault. We also ensure AFCI/GFCI protection where necessary, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, get more info wiring methods, and penetrations follow listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and ready-for-inspection compliance reports.
PPE and LOTO
Building on compliant design and installation, field work follows strict PPE and lockout/tagout controls to keep energized hazards at bay. You determine all energy sources, verify absence 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 access keys, set perimeters, 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 devices systematically and securely.
Licensing and Inspections
Before a single conductor gets installed, permits and inspections establish the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You acquire the appropriate permit scope, validate fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to avoid 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 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 ensure as-builts up-to-date, address red tags without delay, and submit re-inspections only when corrections are confirmed. Final sign-off aligns with panel schedules, torque records, and test results.
Open Pricing and Straightforward Communication
You receive 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 commences, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. During the project, we provide clear, straightforward updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Upfront, Detailed Price Quotes
Depend on upfront, detailed estimates that detail labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work commences. You receive a detailed breakdown connected to scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI requirements, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We synchronize each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you know what's needed and why.
We use standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for clear cost visibility. Should field conditions change—hidden junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we update the estimate for compliance and accuracy, with your approval first. You'll know timelines, access needs, 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 Hidden Fees
While scopes evolve during real-world work, our pricing never conceals extras. You receive 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 offer a flat rate for each approved scope segment, based on labor hours, parts specifications, and required permits. If conditions require a change, we pause, price it, and seek your authorization.
Our pricing framework follows NEC-driven protocols and safety best practices. You'll see transparent costs for AFCIs, GFCIs, service-entrance work, or grounding upgrades. We also feature bundle discounts when you bundle related services—like panel upgrades with surge protection—lowering total labor mobilizations. Straightforward pricing, documented assumptions, and guaranteed pricing protect your schedule, budget, and safety.
Simple-Language Updates
Clear pricing only works when updates are just as clear. You'll receive clear communications that convert NEC regulations, load calculations, and permit steps into tangible actions, timelines, and costs. We highlight scope changes immediately, document their code drivers, and document safety impacts so you can authorize with certainty.
We schedule milestones, provide written change orders, and timestamp progress photos. You receive circuit labeling, breaker sizing, GFCI/AFCI positioning, and grounding improvements presented in clear language. If we recommend electrical panel derating or arc-fault safety measures, we break down the potential hazard, relevant standard, and pricing before we proceed with the work.
You'll additionally obtain community updates on service interruptions, system inspections, and local initiatives, plus useful energy suggestions—such as LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to lower usage while preserving compliance and safety.
Project Journey: From Consultation Through Final Walkthrough
Before any tools come out, we initiate a comprehensive on-site consultation to determine scope, load requirements, code compliance requirements, and safety priorities. We validate service capacity, chart circuits, determine grounding/bonding requirements, and record access or shutoff procedures. We'll provide you with a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a fixed-scope proposal with itemized materials and permit requirements.
Upon permit approval, we schedule work to reduce outages. We lockout/tagout, safeguard finishes, and execute installations in compliance with NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer specs. We mark panels, torque terminations to required standards, and test GFCI/AFCI, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once energized, we validate systems, present operation, and document warranty information and maintenance requirements.
Final inspection validates punch-list closure, inspector sign-off, and post installation support details.
