We utilize task-appropriate PPE and enforce Lockout/Tagout providing zero-energy verification before any work begins. We secure the required permits, coordinate inspections, and provide as-built records to confirm your system passes on the first review.
Seattle Codes & NEC
Although each project is one-of-a-kind, our work adheres to the same foundation: strict compliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You get designs and installations that comply with the latest adopted editions, including Seattle's local amendments. We validate conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and fault-current ratings, then document specifications for inspection.
You will see compliant service entrance configurations with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We apply Article 250 approaches, confirm electrode continuity, and test impedance to reduce touch voltage during a ground fault. We also make certain AFCI/GFCI protection where specified, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, wiring methods, and penetrations comply with listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and inspection-compliant compliance reports.
Personal Protective Equipment and Lockout/Tagout
Founded upon 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 absence 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 confirmed on a known source before and after testing.
You retain control of keys, set perimeters, and coordinate shift changes so no machinery is re-energized prematurely. You verify again zero energy state in advance of removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring equipment methodically and safely.
Permits Plus Inspections
In advance of a single conductor gets installed, permits and inspections establish the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You obtain the appropriate permit scope, validate fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to avoid idle crews and rushed work. You reference 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 promptly, and request re-inspections only when corrections are validated. Final sign-off corresponds to panel schedules, torque documentation, and test results.
Honest Pricing and Clear Communication
You receive an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We state 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.
Transparent, Detailed Estimates
Depend on upfront, itemized estimates that detail labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work kicks off. You get a thorough breakdown aligned with scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI demands, 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 cost transparency. When field conditions vary—hidden junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we update the estimate for accuracy and compliance, with your approval first. You'll understand timelines, access specifications, utility coordination, and shutoff plans. Our documentation explains warranty terms, submittals, and disposal methods, guaranteeing safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.
No Hidden Fees
