Engage with commercial and tenant improvements with a team that builds to engineering standards, aligns with your timeline, and keeps operations safe and online. You obtain detailed design plans, stamped drawings, and professional installations that connect to base-building systems without disrupting revenue hours.
We manage Tenant fit outs, Office rewiring, service panel enhancements, and service capacity increases matched to actual load profiles. We provide properly coordinated conduit routing, marking conventions, and termination practices that allow for future expansion. We schedule shutdowns, furnish temporary power, and orchestrate cutovers to protect uptime.
Spanning emergency egress lighting, selective coordination, and arc-fault mitigation, we construct robust distribution that meets equipment specifications and landlord standards. Surge protection, metering, and low-voltage pathways are documented, planned, and tested, delivering a compliant, maintainable, and scalable electrical environment.
Code Compliance and Safety-Priority Practices
You demand strict adherence to the NEC check here and Seattle Electrical Code, with clear documentation of conductor sizing, grounding, and fault protection. We use task-appropriate PPE and implement Lockout/Tagout so you get zero-energy verification before any work begins. We obtain the required permits, coordinate inspections, and supply as-built records to guarantee your system passes on the first review.
NEC & Seattle Codes
While each project is unique, our work adheres to the same foundation: strict conformity to the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You obtain designs and installations that meet the latest adopted editions, including Seattle's local amendments. We check conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and fault-current ratings, then document calculations for inspection.
You'll find compliant service entrance configurations with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We utilize Article 250 techniques, verify electrode continuity, and test impedance to minimize touch voltage during a ground fault. We also make certain AFCI/GFCI protection where required, 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 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 identify 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 lock keys, post boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no equipment is re-energized before clearance. You verify again zero energy state in advance of removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring machinery systematically and securely.
Permits Plus Inspections
Before a single conductor gets installed, permits and inspections set the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You acquire the correct permit scope, confirm fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to stop 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 current, address red tags immediately, and submit re-inspections only when corrections are confirmed. Final sign-off matches panel schedules, torque documentation, and test results.
Straightforward Pricing and Clear Communication
You receive 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 begins, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. While work progresses, we provide plain‑language updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Clear, Detailed Estimates
Count on upfront, itemized estimates that clarify labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work commences. You receive a comprehensive breakdown tied to scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI needs, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We tie each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you know what's mandated and why.
We use standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for transparent pricing. When field conditions differ—buried junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we adjust the estimate for precision and code adherence, with your approval first. You'll understand timelines, access specifications, 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 Hidden Charges
Although scopes evolve during real-world work, our pricing never conceals extras. You receive upfront billing connected to defined tasks, materials, and code-compliant methods, so no hidden charges emerge when we open a panel or trace a circuit. We quote 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 seek your authorization.
Our pricing framework follows NEC-driven processes and safety best practices. You'll receive transparent costs for GFCIs, AFCIs, grounding upgrades, or service-entrance work. We also offer bundle discounts when you bundle related jobs—like panel upgrades with surge protection—lowering total labor mobilizations. Transparent math, documented assumptions, and set pricing preserve your timeline, financial plan, and safety.
Plain-Language Revisions
Straightforward pricing demands equally straightforward updates. We provide straightforward updates that transform NEC regulations, load calculations, and permit procedures into tangible actions, timelines, and costs. We identify scope changes instantly, note their code drivers, and document safety impacts so you can approve with confidence.
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 presented in clear language. If we propose electrical panel derating or arc-fault safety measures, we'll explain the risk, the standard, and the price before we proceed with the work.
Additionally, you'll receive community updates on outages, inspections, and city initiatives, plus helpful energy tips—like LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to decrease usage while upholding compliance and safety.
Project Workflow: From Initial Consultation to Final Walkthrough
Prior to bringing out any equipment, we start with a thorough on-site consultation to determine scope, load requirements, code specifications, and safety priorities. We verify service capacity, chart circuits, assess grounding/bonding specifications, and document access or shutoff procedures. You will get a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a fixed-scope proposal with specified materials and permit requirements.
After permit approval, we arrange work to minimize outages. We lockout/tagout, safeguard finishes, and perform installations according to NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer specs. We identify panels, torque terminations to spec, and test GFCI and AFCI devices, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once energized, we commission systems, present operation, and document warranty information and maintenance requirements.
Final walkthrough confirms punch-list closure, inspector sign-off, and post installation support details.
