Code Compliance and Safety-Priority Practices
You require 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 enforce Lockout/Tagout so you get zero-energy verification before any work commences. We pull the required permits, coordinate inspections, and provide as-built records to guarantee your system passes on the first review.
NEC & Seattle Codes
While every project is unique, our work adheres to the same basis: strict compliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You receive 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'll see compliant service entrance layouts with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We utilize Article 250 procedures, verify electrode continuity, and test impedance to restrict touch voltage during a ground fault. We also ensure AFCI/GFCI protection where mandated, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, wiring approaches, and penetrations follow listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and inspection-compliant compliance reports.
Personal Protective Equipment and Lockout/Tagout
Based 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 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 keep control of lock keys, post boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no machinery is re-energized before clearance. You confirm again zero energy state prior to removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring devices carefully and safely.
Permits Plus Inspections
Prior to a single conductor gets pulled, permits and inspections set the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You obtain the appropriate 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 organize work for every inspection, utilizing a detailed inspection checklist: more info 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 up-to-date, address red tags without delay, and submit re-inspections only when corrections are validated. Final sign-off corresponds to panel schedules, torque records, and test results.
Transparent Pricing and Open Communication
You get an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We specify total cost and scope before work begins, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. Throughout the job, we give you easy-to-understand updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Clear, Itemized Cost Breakdowns
Rely on upfront, itemized estimates that detail labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work begins. You get a thorough breakdown aligned with 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 recognize what's mandated and why.
We employ standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for cost transparency. Should field conditions change—buried junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we adjust the estimate for compliance and accuracy, with your approval first. You'll know timelines, access needs, utility coordination, and shutoff plans. Our documentation explains warranty terms, submittals, and disposal methods, ensuring safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.
No Hidden Charges
Though scopes shift during real-world work, our pricing never conceals extras. You get upfront billing tied to defined tasks, materials, and code-compliant methods, so you won't face unexpected costs when we examine 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 pricing framework follows NEC-driven protocols and safety best practices. You'll receive clear costs for AFCIs, GFCIs, service-entrance work, or grounding upgrades. We also provide bundle discounts when you package related services—like panel upgrades with surge protection—reducing total labor mobilizations. Transparent math, documented assumptions, and locked pricing safeguard your safety, budget, and schedule.
Plain-Language Updates
Straightforward pricing demands equally straightforward updates. You'll receive clear communications that convert NEC regulations, load calculations, and permit steps into concrete actions, timelines, and costs. We flag scope changes instantly, document their code drivers, and document safety impacts so you can approve with confidence.
We set clear milestones, supply written modification orders, and document progress with timestamped photos. You get labeled circuits, breaker capacities, GFCI/AFCI installations, and grounding upgrades in simple terms. If we recommend electrical panel derating or arc-fault safety measures, we break down the safety risk, code standard, and cost before work proceeds.
You will also get community updates on outages, inspections, and city initiatives, plus practical energy recommendations—including LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to minimize usage while preserving compliance and safety.
Project Workflow: From Initial Consultation to Final Walkthrough
Before any tools come out, we begin with a comprehensive on-site consultation to define scope, load requirements, code specifications, and safety priorities. We confirm service capacity, chart circuits, assess grounding/bonding requirements, and document access or shutoff procedures. We'll provide you with a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a clearly defined proposal with specified materials and permit requirements.
After permit approval, we arrange work to minimize outages. We perform lockout/tagout procedures, protect finishes, and execute installations per NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer requirements. We mark panels, torque terminations to specification, and test GFCI and AFCI devices, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once powered up, we commission systems, demonstrate operation, and document warranty details and maintenance tasks.
