Covering everything from emergency egress lighting through selective coordination to arc-fault mitigation, we develop stable distribution that complies with equipment specifications and landlord standards. Low-voltage pathways, metering, and surge protection are planned, documented, and tested, creating a compliant, maintainable, and scalable electrical system.
Code Compliance and Safety-Focused Practices
We deliver strict adherence to the NEC and Seattle Electrical Code, with clear documentation of conductor sizing, grounding, and fault protection. We wear task-appropriate PPE and enforce Lockout/Tagout so you get zero-energy verification before any work begins. We pull the required permits, coordinate inspections, and supply as-built records to ensure your system passes on the first review.
Seattle Codes and National Electrical Code
Although each project is different, our work follows 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 confirm conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and fault-current ratings, then document calculations for inspection.
You will see compliant service entrance configurations with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We utilize Article 250 procedures, check electrode continuity, and test impedance to limit touch voltage during a ground fault. We also ensure AFCI/GFCI protection where specified, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, wiring techniques, and penetrations comply with listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and code-compliant compliance reports.
PPE and LOTO
Building on compliant design and installation, field work adheres to strict PPE and lockout/tagout controls to keep energized hazards at bay. You determine 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 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 retain control of lock keys, set perimeters, and coordinate shift changes so no equipment is re-energized before clearance. You re-verify zero energy state in advance of removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring devices carefully and safely.
Licensing and Inspections
Prior to a single conductor gets pulled, permits and inspections set the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You acquire the appropriate permit scope, verify fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to avoid 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 organize work for every inspection, utilizing a precise 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 up-to-date, address red tags immediately, and submit re-inspections only when corrections are verified. Final sign-off corresponds to panel schedules, torque specifications, and test results.
Straightforward Fees and Transparent Communication
You get an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We state total cost and scope 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.
Upfront, Itemized Estimates
Expect upfront, line-by-line estimates that outline labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work commences. You receive a comprehensive breakdown linked to scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI needs, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We match each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you recognize what's needed and why.
We utilize standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for transparent pricing. When 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 understand timelines, access requirements, 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 Charges
While scopes evolve during real-world work, our pricing never conceals extras. You obtain upfront billing linked to defined tasks, materials, and code-compliant methods, so you won't face unexpected costs when we access a panel or trace a circuit. We quote a flat rate for each approved scope segment, based on labor hours, parts specifications, and required permits. If conditions demand a change, we halt, price it, and seek your authorization.
Our fee system complies with NEC-driven procedures and safety best practices. You'll see transparent costs for GFCIs, AFCIs, grounding upgrades, or service-entrance work. We also feature bundle discounts when you group related projects—like panel upgrades with surge protection—minimizing total labor mobilizations. Transparent math, documented assumptions, and set pricing protect your schedule, budget, and safety.
Plain-Language Updates
Clear pricing only works when updates are just as clear.

We identify scope changes instantly, document their code drivers, and detail 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 in simple terms. If we propose panel derating or arc-fault protection, we break down the risks involved, applicable standards, and associated costs before work proceeds.
You'll additionally obtain community updates on service interruptions, system inspections, and local initiatives, plus useful energy advice—like LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to lower usage while maintaining compliance and safety.
Project Workflow: From Initial Consultation to Final Walkthrough
Before we begin any physical work, we initiate a thorough on-site consultation to determine scope, load requirements, code constraints, and safety priorities. We verify service capacity, map circuits, determine grounding/bonding requirements, and record access or shutoff procedures. You will get a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a fixed-scope proposal with itemized materials and permit requirements.
Following permit approval, we schedule work to limit outages. We implement lockout/tagout protocols, safeguard finishes, and perform installations in compliance with NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer requirements. We identify panels, torque terminations to specification, and test GFCI/AFCI, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once energized, we validate systems, demonstrate operation, and document warranty details and maintenance requirements.
