Engage with commercial and tenant improvements with a team that designs to code compliance, aligns with your timeline, and maintains operational continuity. You receive scoped designs, stamped drawings, and clean installations that integrate with base-building systems without interfering with revenue hours.
Our services include tenant buildouts, workplace electrical upgrades, panel upgrades, and power capacity enhancements matched to actual load profiles. Our clients benefit from coordinated conduit routing, identification protocols, and termination practices that support future expansion. We plan shutdowns, supply temporary power, and sequence cutovers to protect uptime.
Covering everything from emergency egress lighting through selective coordination to arc-fault mitigation, we develop stable distribution that complies with equipment specs and landlord standards. Metering, low-voltage pathways, and surge protection are planned, documented, and tested, providing a scalable, compliant, and maintainable electrical environment.
Code Compliance and Safety-Focused Practices
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 implement Lockout/Tagout to ensure zero-energy verification before any work begins. We obtain the required permits, coordinate inspections, and supply as-built records to confirm your system passes on the first review.
Seattle Codes and NEC
Though every project is one-of-a-kind, our work follows the same fundamental approach: strict compliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You obtain 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 computations for inspection.
You'll see compliant service entrance layouts with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We employ Article 250 methods, verify electrode continuity, and test impedance to minimize touch voltage during a ground fault. We also make certain AFCI/GFCI protection where specified, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, wiring procedures, and penetrations comply with listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and inspection-ready compliance reports.
PPE and Lockout/Tagout Procedures
Based on compliant design and installation, field work maintains 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 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 before clearance. You confirm again zero energy state before removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring equipment systematically and securely.
Licensing and Inspections
Prior to a single conductor gets pulled, permits and inspections establish the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You acquire the right permit scope, verify fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to prevent 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 thorough 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 ensure as-builts up-to-date, remedy red tags promptly, and submit re-inspections only when corrections are verified. Final sign-off aligns with panel schedules, torque records, and test results.
Open Pricing and Open Communication
We provide you with 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. Throughout the job, we give you clear, straightforward updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Clear, Detailed Estimates
Expect upfront, detailed estimates that detail labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work kicks off. You obtain a thorough breakdown linked to scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI specifications, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We align each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you recognize what's needed and why.
We use standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for clear cost visibility. If field conditions change—hidden junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we update the estimate for compliance and accuracy, with your approval first. You'll know timelines, access needs, utility coordination, and shutoff plans. Our documentation clarifies warranty terms, submittals, and disposal methods, guaranteeing safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.
Zero Hidden Costs
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 offer a flat rate for each approved scope segment, calculated from labor hours, parts specifications, and required permits. If conditions necessitate a change, we pause, price it, and wait for your authorization.
Our cost structure adheres to NEC-driven procedures and safety best practices. We provide clear costs for service-entrance work, grounding upgrades, AFCIs, or GFCIs. We also include bundle discounts when you combine related tasks—like panel upgrades with surge protection—decreasing total labor mobilizations. Clear calculations, documented assumptions, and fixed pricing preserve your budget, schedule, and safety.
Simple-Language Revisions
Straightforward pricing demands equally straightforward updates. You'll receive clear communications that convert NEC regulations, load calculations, and permit processes into concrete actions, timelines, and costs. We highlight scope changes right away, record their code drivers, and outline safety impacts so you can authorize with certainty.
We organize milestones, furnish written change orders, and record timestamped progress images. You get labeled circuits, breaker capacities, GFCI/AFCI installations, and grounding upgrades described in easy-to-understand terms. When we suggest panel derating or arc-fault protection, we'll explain the risk, the standard, and the price prior to beginning work.
You'll also receive community updates on outages, infrastructure inspections, and community programs, plus helpful energy tips—like LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to reduce usage while upholding compliance and safety.
Project Journey: From Consultation Through Final Walkthrough
Before we begin any physical work, we initiate a detailed on-site consultation to define scope, load requirements, code specifications, and safety priorities. We verify service capacity, map circuits, determine grounding/bonding specifications, and record access or shutoff procedures. We'll provide you with a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a fixed-scope proposal with itemized materials and permit requirements.
After permit approval, we arrange work to minimize outages. We lockout/tagout, protect finishes, and complete installations in compliance with NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer specs. We mark panels, torque terminations to specification, and test GFCI and AFCI devices, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once energized, we commission systems, present operation, and document warranties and maintenance requirements.
