Safety-Priority Practices and Code Compliance
You require 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 enforce Lockout/Tagout providing zero-energy verification before any work begins. We secure the required permits, coordinate inspections, and provide as-built records to guarantee your system passes on the first review.
NEC & Seattle Codes
Though each project is one-of-a-kind, our work maintains the same foundation: strict adherence to 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 observe compliant service entrance arrangements with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We employ Article 250 approaches, check electrode continuity, and test impedance to minimize touch voltage during a ground fault. We also confirm AFCI/GFCI protection where specified, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, wiring procedures, and penetrations follow listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and inspection-ready compliance reports.
PPE and LOTO
Based 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 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 validated on a known source before and after testing.
You maintain control of access keys, establish boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no machinery is re-energized prematurely. You re-verify zero energy state before removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring equipment methodically and safely.
Permitting and Inspections
In advance of a single conductor gets pulled, permits and inspections set the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You secure the appropriate permit scope, validate fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to stop 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 organize work for every inspection, utilizing a detailed inspection checklist: rough-in box fill, staple spacing, derating, conduit support intervals, equipment working clearances, service disconnect labeling, bonding jumpers, and arc-fault/GFCI protection verification. You keep as-builts accurate, remedy red tags without delay, and submit re-inspections only when corrections are validated. Final sign-off matches panel schedules, torque documentation, and test results.
Transparent Costs and Straightforward Communication
You get an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We specify the complete scope and total cost before work commences, 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, Detailed Price Quotes
Depend on upfront, line-by-line estimates that outline labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work kicks off. 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 match each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you understand what's required and why.
We utilize standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for cost transparency. If field conditions vary—hidden junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we adjust the estimate for compliance and accuracy, with your approval first. You'll be informed of 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.
Zero Hidden Costs

Project Journey: From Initial Consultation to Final Walkthrough
Before any tools come out, we initiate a thorough on-site consultation to define scope, load requirements, code compliance requirements, and safety priorities. We verify service capacity, chart circuits, assess grounding/bonding specifications, and document access or shutoff procedures. We'll provide you with 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 execute installations according to NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer specs. We identify panels, torque terminations to specification, and test GFCI/AFCI, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once powered up, we commission systems, show operation, and document warranty information and maintenance schedules.
The final walkthrough verifies punch-list closure, inspector sign-off, and post installation support details.
