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 begins. We secure the required permits, coordinate inspections, and supply as-built records to ensure your system passes on the first review.
Seattle Codes & NEC
Although every project is one-of-a-kind, our work adheres to the same basis: strict conformity to the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You obtain designs and installations that conform to the latest adopted editions, including Seattle's local amendments. We check conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and fault-current ratings, then document computations for inspection.
You will see compliant service entrance configurations with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We utilize Article 250 methods, confirm electrode continuity, and test impedance to minimize touch voltage during a ground fault. We also guarantee AFCI/GFCI protection where needed, 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-ready compliance reports.
Personal Protective Equipment and LOTO
Based on 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 lack 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 validated on a known source before and after testing.
You keep control of keys, set perimeters, and coordinate shift changes so no machinery is re-energized too early. You re-verify zero energy state in advance of removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring machinery carefully and safely.
Building Permits and Inspections
Prior to a single conductor gets installed, permits and inspections set the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You obtain the right permit scope, validate fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to prevent 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 detailed inspection checklist: box fill calculations, staple distances, derating factors, conduit support spacing, equipment clearance requirements, service disconnect identification, bonding jumper installation, and arc-fault/GFCI protection validation. You keep as-builts current, address red tags without delay, and submit re-inspections only when corrections are confirmed. Final sign-off corresponds to panel schedules, torque specifications, and test results.
Transparent Rates and Transparent Communication
You get an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We state the complete scope and total cost before work starts, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. During the project, we deliver clear, straightforward updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Clear, Itemized Cost Breakdowns
Depend on upfront, detailed estimates that spell out labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work begins. You obtain a comprehensive breakdown linked to scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI specifications, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We tie each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you understand what's required and why.
We use standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for cost transparency. Should field conditions change—hidden junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we update the estimate for precision and code adherence, with your approval first. You'll know timelines, access needs, utility coordination, and shutoff plans. Our documentation details warranty terms, submittals, and disposal methods, ensuring safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.
Transparent Pricing Only
While scopes evolve during real-world work, our pricing never hides extras. You obtain upfront billing linked 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 provide a flat rate for each approved scope segment, determined by 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 procedures and safety best practices. You'll receive straightforward costs for GFCIs, AFCIs, grounding upgrades, or service-entrance work. We also include bundle discounts when you group related tasks—like panel upgrades with surge protection—lowering total labor mobilizations. Clear calculations, documented assumptions, and guaranteed pricing safeguard your safety, budget, and schedule.
Clear-Language Modifications
Straightforward pricing demands equally straightforward updates. You'll get plain-language briefings that translate NEC regulations, load calculations, and permit procedures into tangible actions, timelines, and costs. We highlight scope changes right away, note their code drivers, and outline safety impacts so you can approve with confidence.
We schedule milestones, provide written change orders, and timestamp progress photos. You get circuit identification, breaker specifications, GFCI/AFCI locations, and grounding enhancements presented in clear language. Should we recommend derating your panel or installing arc-fault protection, we clarify the risks involved, applicable standards, and associated costs before any work starts.
You'll also receive community updates on service interruptions, system inspections, and local initiatives, plus practical energy recommendations—including LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to decrease usage while upholding compliance and safety.
Project Journey: From Consultation Through Final Walkthrough
Before any tools come out, we begin with a thorough on-site consultation to establish scope, load requirements, code specifications, and safety priorities. We confirm service capacity, map circuits, assess grounding/bonding needs, and record access or shutoff procedures. You'll receive a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a detailed scope proposal with itemized materials and permit requirements.
After permit approval, we schedule work to minimize outages. We lockout/tagout, preserve finishes, and perform installations in compliance with NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer requirements. We mark panels, torque terminations to required standards, and test GFCI/AFCI, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once energized, we commission systems, show operation, and document warranty information and maintenance requirements.
Final inspection validates punch-list closure, inspector sign-off, and post installation support details.
