Code Compliance and Safety-First Practices
You demand 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 implement 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.
Seattle Codes and National Electrical Code
Even though each project is distinct, our work maintains the same core principles: strict compliance with 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 confirm conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and fault-current ratings, then document computations for inspection.
You'll observe compliant service entrance configurations with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We utilize Article 250 approaches, validate electrode continuity, and test impedance to restrict touch voltage during a ground fault. We also guarantee AFCI/GFCI protection where necessary, 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 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 identify all energy sources, verify no presence 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 access keys, establish boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no machinery is re-energized prematurely. You confirm again zero energy state prior to removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring machinery methodically and safely.
Licensing and Inspections
In advance of a single conductor gets installed, permits and inspections define the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You secure the correct permit scope, verify fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to prevent 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 thorough 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 maintain as-builts up-to-date, remedy red tags without delay, and initiate re-inspections only when corrections are confirmed. Final sign-off corresponds to panel schedules, torque specifications, and test results.
Clear Pricing and Transparent 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. While work progresses, we deliver plain‑language updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Upfront, Detailed Price Quotes
Depend on upfront, detailed estimates that clarify labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work kicks off. You receive a comprehensive breakdown aligned with scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI needs, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We align each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you know what's needed and why.
We utilize standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for transparent pricing. If field conditions change—concealed 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 explains warranty terms, submittals, and disposal methods, providing safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.
No Hidden Fees
Although scopes change during real-world work, our pricing never obscures extras. You get 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 provide a flat rate for each approved scope segment, calculated from labor hours, parts specifications, and required permits. If conditions necessitate a change, we stop, price it, and wait for your authorization.
Our rate structure aligns with NEC-driven protocols and safety best practices. You'll see straightforward costs for grounding enhancements, service-entrance installations, GFCIs, or AFCIs. We also feature bundle discounts when you bundle related jobs—like panel upgrades with surge protection—decreasing total labor mobilizations. Transparent math, documented assumptions, and set pricing safeguard your safety, budget, and schedule.
Clear-Language Modifications
Clear pricing only works when updates are just as clear. We provide straightforward updates that transform NEC regulations, load calculations, and permit processes into concrete actions, timelines, and costs. We identify scope changes right away, document their code drivers, and detail safety impacts so you can make informed decisions.
We organize milestones, furnish written change orders, and record timestamped progress images. You get circuit labeling, breaker sizing, GFCI/AFCI positioning, and grounding improvements in simple terms. If we propose electrical panel derating or arc-fault safety measures, we break down the risk, the standard, and the price before work proceeds.
You'll also receive community updates on outages, inspections, and city initiatives, plus actionable energy recommendations—including LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to lower usage while preserving compliance and safety.
Project Journey: From Consultation Through Final Walkthrough
Before we begin any physical work, we begin with a thorough on-site consultation to define scope, load requirements, code compliance requirements, and safety priorities. We validate service capacity, map circuits, assess grounding/bonding requirements, and note access or shutoff procedures. You'll receive a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a fixed-scope proposal with listed materials and permit requirements.
Upon permit approval, we arrange work to minimize outages. We lockout/tagout, protect finishes, and execute installations per NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer specifications. We mark panels, torque terminations to spec, and test GFCI and AFCI devices, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once activated, we validate systems, demonstrate operation, and document warranty details and maintenance tasks.
Final inspection validates punch-list closure, inspector sign-off, and post installation support details.
