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 receive permits, inspections, test reports, and documented warranties.
Commercial and Tenant Improvement Solutions
Enter the world of commercial and tenant improvements with a team that engineers to code, coordinates around your deadlines, and keeps operations safe and online. You obtain comprehensive project designs, stamped drawings, and professional installations that work with base-building systems without interrupting revenue hours.
Our services include Tenant fit outs, office electrical rewiring, service panel enhancements, and utility service upgrades sized to actual load profiles. We deliver systematically planned conduit routing, labeling standards, and termination practices that accommodate future expansion. We stage shutdowns, provide temporary power, and manage cutovers to preserve uptime.
Spanning emergency egress lighting, selective coordination, and arc-fault mitigation, we engineer reliable distribution that adheres to equipment specifications and landlord standards. Low-voltage pathways, metering, and surge protection are documented, planned, and tested, providing a maintainable, compliant, and scalable electrical system.
Safety-Focused 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 maintain Lockout/Tagout to ensure zero-energy verification before any work begins. We secure the required permits, coordinate inspections, and deliver as-built records to ensure your system passes on the first review.
Seattle Codes and National Electrical Code
While every project is one-of-a-kind, our work follows the same core principles: 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 validate conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and fault-current ratings, then document calculations for inspection.
You'll observe compliant service entrance layouts with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We apply Article 250 techniques, verify electrode continuity, and test impedance to restrict touch voltage during a ground fault. We also verify AFCI/GFCI protection where necessary, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, wiring procedures, and penetrations conform to listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and ready-for-inspection compliance reports.
PPE and Lockout/Tagout Procedures
Founded upon compliant design and installation, field work follows strict PPE and lockout/tagout controls to keep energized hazards at bay. You locate 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 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 keep control of access keys, post boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no equipment is re-energized prematurely. You verify again zero energy state in advance of removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring machinery systematically and securely.
Required Permits and Inspections
Before a single conductor gets pulled, permits and inspections set 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 avoid idle crews and rushed work. You consult 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 detailed 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 keep as-builts current, address red tags promptly, and initiate re-inspections only when corrections are confirmed. Final sign-off corresponds to panel schedules, torque documentation, and test results.
Clear Costs and Clear Communication
We provide you with 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 starts, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. During the project, we give you plain‑language updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Upfront, Itemized Estimates
Rely on upfront, itemized estimates that spell out labor, materials, permit fees, and read more code-driven requirements before any work commences. You receive a complete breakdown aligned with 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 needed and why.
We utilize standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for clear cost visibility. When field conditions change—buried junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we revise the estimate for accuracy and compliance, with your approval first. You'll know timelines, access requirements, 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 Secret Charges
While scopes shift 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 offer a flat rate for each approved scope segment, based on 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 processes and safety best practices. You'll find detailed costs for grounding enhancements, service-entrance installations, GFCIs, or AFCIs. We also offer bundle discounts when you group related jobs—like panel upgrades with surge protection—lowering total labor mobilizations. Transparent math, documented assumptions, and guaranteed pricing secure your schedule, budget, and safety.
Plain-Language Revisions
Transparent pricing requires equally transparent updates. You'll get plain-language briefings that translate NEC standards, load calculations, and permit processes into tangible actions, timelines, and costs. We highlight scope changes immediately, record their code drivers, and detail safety impacts so you can authorize with certainty.
We set clear milestones, supply written modification orders, and document progress with timestamped photos. You get circuit identification, breaker specifications, GFCI/AFCI locations, and grounding enhancements explained in straightforward language. If we recommend electrical panel derating or arc-fault safety measures, we break down the risks involved, applicable standards, and associated costs prior to beginning work.
You will also get community updates on outages, infrastructure inspections, and community programs, plus practical energy recommendations—including LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to decrease usage while maintaining compliance and safety.
Project Journey: From Consultation to Final Walkthrough
Prior to bringing out any equipment, we initiate a detailed on-site consultation to determine scope, load requirements, code specifications, and safety priorities. We confirm service capacity, chart circuits, identify grounding/bonding specifications, and record access or shutoff procedures. You'll receive a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a fixed-scope proposal with itemized materials and permit requirements.
Upon permit approval, we arrange work to limit outages. We perform lockout/tagout procedures, protect finishes, and complete installations per NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer requirements. We identify panels, torque terminations to specification, and test GFCI and AFCI devices, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once energized, we verify systems, demonstrate operation, and document warranties and maintenance tasks.
