Step into 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 clean installations that integrate with base-building systems without interrupting revenue hours.
We provide tenant improvements, office electrical rewiring, electrical panel upgrades, and service capacity increases designed according to actual load profiles. We deliver carefully coordinated conduit routing, identification protocols, and termination practices that allow for future expansion. We organize shutdowns, furnish temporary power, and orchestrate cutovers to maintain uptime.
From emergency egress lighting to selective coordination and arc-fault mitigation, we engineer stable distribution that complies with equipment specifications and landlord requirements. Low-voltage pathways, metering, and surge protection are documented, planned, and tested, delivering a scalable, compliant, and maintainable electrical infrastructure.
Code Compliance and Safety-Priority Practices
You expect 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 maintain Lockout/Tagout to ensure zero-energy verification before any work commences. We secure the required permits, coordinate inspections, and supply as-built records to guarantee your system passes on the first review.
Seattle Codes and National Electrical Code
Though every project is distinct, our work maintains the same core principles: strict adherence 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 confirm 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 techniques, validate electrode continuity, and test impedance to reduce touch voltage during a ground fault. We also guarantee AFCI/GFCI protection where required, 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 inspection-ready compliance reports.
Personal Protective Equipment and Lockout/Tagout
Based 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 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 verified on a known source before and after testing.
You maintain control of lock keys, post boundaries, 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 systematically and securely.
Required Permits and Inspections
Before a single conductor gets installed, permits and inspections define the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You secure the appropriate permit scope, confirm fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to prevent 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 stage work for each inspection, using a thorough inspection checklist: box fill calculations, staple distances, derating factors, conduit support spacing, equipment clearance requirements, service disconnect identification, bonding jumper installation, and arc-fault/GFCI protection validation. You keep as-builts accurate, resolve red tags immediately, and initiate re-inspections only when corrections are validated. Final sign-off aligns with panel schedules, torque records, and test results.
Transparent Costs and Direct Communication
You get an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We state the complete scope and total cost before work begins, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. While work progresses, we give you easy-to-understand updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Clear, Itemized Cost Breakdowns
Expect upfront, itemized estimates that spell out labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work starts. You are provided with 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 know what's required and why.
We utilize standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for clear cost visibility. If field conditions vary—hidden junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we revise the estimate for compliance and accuracy, with your approval first. You'll be informed of timelines, access requirements, utility coordination, and shutoff plans. Our documentation clarifies warranty terms, submittals, and disposal methods, ensuring safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.
No Secret Charges
While scopes change during real-world work, our pricing never conceals extras. You get upfront billing tied 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 demand a change, we stop, price it, and obtain your authorization.
Our rate structure aligns with NEC-driven standards and safety best practices. You'll receive straightforward costs for service-entrance work, grounding upgrades, AFCIs, or GFCIs. We also feature bundle discounts when you combine related tasks—like panel upgrades with surge protection—lowering total labor mobilizations. Transparent math, documented assumptions, and fixed pricing protect your budget, schedule, and safety.
Clear-Language Revisions
Transparent pricing requires equally transparent updates. You'll receive clear communications that convert NEC requirements, load calculations, and permit processes into concrete actions, timelines, and costs. We identify scope changes immediately, record their code drivers, and outline safety impacts so you can approve with confidence.
We schedule milestones, provide written change orders, and timestamp progress photos. You see circuit labels, breaker sizes, GFCI/AFCI placements, and grounding upgrades described in easy-to-understand terms. When we suggest panel derating or arc-fault protection, we'll explain the safety risk, code standard, and cost before work proceeds.
You'll additionally obtain community updates on service interruptions, system inspections, and local initiatives, plus helpful energy advice—like LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to reduce usage while upholding compliance and safety.
Project Journey: From Initial Consultation to Final Walkthrough
Before any tools come out, we start with a thorough on-site consultation to determine scope, load requirements, code specifications, and safety priorities. We validate service capacity, chart circuits, assess grounding/bonding needs, 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.
Upon permit approval, we plan work to minimize outages. We implement lockout/tagout protocols, protect finishes, and execute installations according to NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer requirements. We label panels, torque terminations to spec, and test GFCI/AFCI, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once activated, we commission systems, present operation, and document warranty information and maintenance schedules.
