Step into commercial and tenant improvements with a team that builds to engineering standards, coordinates around your deadlines, and keeps operations safe and online. You obtain detailed design plans, stamped drawings, and professional installations that connect to base-building systems without interfering with revenue hours.
We provide tenant buildouts, workplace electrical upgrades, distribution panel improvements, and electrical service capacity expansions calibrated to actual load profiles. We provide carefully coordinated conduit routing, identification protocols, and termination practices that accommodate future expansion. We stage shutdowns, furnish temporary power, and orchestrate cutovers to protect uptime.
Spanning emergency egress lighting, selective coordination, and arc-fault mitigation, we build dependable distribution that complies with equipment requirements and landlord standards. Surge protection, metering, and low-voltage pathways are documented, planned, and tested, providing a scalable, compliant, and maintainable electrical infrastructure.
Code Compliance and Safety-Focused Practices
You demand 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 enforce Lockout/Tagout to ensure zero-energy verification before any work begins. We pull the required permits, coordinate inspections, and provide as-built records to confirm your system passes on the first review.
NEC & Seattle Codes
Even though every project is unique, our work follows the same basis: strict adherence 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 check conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and fault-current ratings, then document calculations for inspection.
You'll see compliant service entrance configurations with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We follow Article 250 approaches, check electrode continuity, and test impedance to reduce touch voltage during a ground fault. We also guarantee AFCI/GFCI protection where necessary, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, wiring techniques, and penetrations follow listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and inspection-compliant compliance reports.
Personal Protective Equipment and Lockout/Tagout Systems
Building on compliant design and installation, field work follows 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 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 confirmed on a known source before and after testing.
You retain control of keys, post boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no device is re-energized prematurely. You verify again zero energy state in advance of removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring equipment carefully and safely.
Permits & Inspections
In advance of a single conductor gets installed, permits and inspections establish the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You secure the appropriate permit scope, verify fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to stop 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 prepare work for each inspection, employing 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 ensure as-builts accurate, resolve red tags promptly, and request re-inspections only when corrections are confirmed. Final sign-off corresponds to panel schedules, torque documentation, and test results.
Honest Fees and Clear Communication
We provide you with an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We outline total cost and scope before work commences, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. While work progresses, we provide clear, straightforward updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Transparent, Detailed Estimates
Depend on upfront, itemized estimates that clarify labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work starts. You obtain 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 synchronize each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you recognize what's necessary and why.
We utilize standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for clear cost visibility. When field conditions vary—buried junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we update the estimate for precision and code adherence, with your approval first. You'll know timelines, access requirements, utility coordination, and shutoff plans. Our documentation clarifies warranty terms, submittals, and disposal methods, guaranteeing safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.
No Secret Charges
Though scopes change during real-world work, our pricing never obscures extras. You receive upfront billing linked to defined tasks, materials, and code-compliant methods, so there are no surprises when we open a panel or trace a circuit. We provide a flat rate for each approved scope segment, based on labor hours, parts specifications, and required permits. If conditions require a change, we pause, price it, and obtain your authorization.
Our pricing framework follows NEC-driven processes and safety best practices. We provide detailed costs for AFCIs, GFCIs, service-entrance work, or grounding upgrades. We also provide bundle discounts when you package related projects—like panel upgrades with surge protection—reducing total labor mobilizations. Straightforward pricing, documented assumptions, and guaranteed pricing secure your schedule, budget, and safety.
Simple-Language Modifications
Clear pricing only works when updates are just as clear. You'll receive clear communications that convert NEC regulations, load calculations, and permit procedures into concrete actions, timelines, and costs. We flag scope changes immediately, record their code drivers, and outline safety impacts so you can authorize with certainty.
We schedule milestones, provide written change orders, and timestamp progress photos. You receive circuit labeling, breaker sizing, GFCI/AFCI positioning, and grounding improvements described in easy-to-understand terms. If we recommend panel derating or arc-fault protection, we break down the potential hazard, relevant standard, and pricing before any work starts.
You will also get community updates on power outages, facility inspections, and municipal programs, plus helpful energy advice—like LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to decrease usage while preserving compliance and safety.
Project Process: From Initial Consultation to Final Walkthrough
Before any tools come out, we initiate a thorough on-site consultation to establish scope, load requirements, code specifications, and safety priorities. We confirm service capacity, chart circuits, assess grounding/bonding requirements, 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.
Following permit approval, we plan work to minimize outages. We lockout/tagout, safeguard finishes, and execute installations per NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer specifications. We label panels, torque terminations to required standards, and test ground fault and arc fault protection, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once powered up, we validate systems, show operation, and document warranties and maintenance requirements.
The final walkthrough verifies punch-list closure, inspector sign-off, and post installation support details.
