We wear task-appropriate PPE and implement Lockout/Tagout to ensure zero-energy verification before any work starts. We obtain the required permits, coordinate inspections, and provide as-built records to ensure your system passes on the first review.
NEC & Seattle Codes
Even though each project is unique, our work maintains the same basis: strict conformity to the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You receive designs and installations that comply with the latest adopted editions, including Seattle's local amendments. We verify conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and fault-current ratings, then document specifications for inspection.
You'll see 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 reduce 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 approaches, and penetrations conform to listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and ready-for-inspection compliance reports.
Personal Protective Equipment and Lockout/Tagout Systems
Founded upon 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 confirmed on a known source before and after testing.
You keep control of keys, establish boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no equipment is re-energized prematurely. You re-verify zero energy state prior to removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring devices methodically and safely.
Licensing and Inspections
Before a single conductor is pulled, permits and inspections define the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You secure 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 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 promptly, and initiate re-inspections only when corrections are validated. Final sign-off matches panel schedules, torque specifications, and test results.
Open Fees 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 outline the complete scope and total cost before work commences, 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, itemized estimates that outline labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work starts.

Project Journey: From Initial Consultation to Final Walkthrough
Before we begin any physical work, we start with a detailed on-site consultation to determine scope, load requirements, code constraints, and safety priorities. We confirm service capacity, map circuits, determine grounding/bonding requirements, and record access or shutoff procedures. We'll provide you with a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a clearly defined proposal with specified materials and permit requirements.
After permit approval, we plan work to minimize outages. We implement lockout/tagout protocols, protect finishes, and complete installations per NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer specs. We mark panels, torque terminations to specification, and test ground fault and arc fault protection, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once powered up, we commission systems, demonstrate operation, and document warranty information and maintenance schedules.
The final walkthrough verifies punch-list closure, inspector sign-off, and post installation support details.
Final inspection validates completion of the punch list, inspector sign-off, and post installation support details.
Final inspection validates punch-list closure, inspector authorization, and post installation support details.
