Enter the world of commercial and tenant improvements with a team that engineers to code, coordinates around your deadlines, and ensures uninterrupted business operations. You get detailed design plans, stamped drawings, and seamless installations that integrate with base-building systems without interfering with revenue hours.
We manage tenant fit-outs, Office rewiring, service panel enhancements, and utility service upgrades designed according to actual load profiles. You receive systematically planned conduit routing, identification protocols, and termination practices that enable future expansion. We coordinate shutdowns, offer temporary power, and sequence cutovers to sustain uptime.
Spanning emergency egress lighting, selective coordination, and arc-fault mitigation, we build robust distribution that complies with equipment specs and landlord requirements. Low-voltage pathways, metering, and surge protection are documented, planned, and tested, providing a maintainable, compliant, and scalable electrical infrastructure.
Safety-Focused Practices and Code Compliance
We deliver 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 providing zero-energy verification before any work commences. We obtain the required permits, coordinate inspections, and provide as-built records to ensure your system passes on the first review.
NEC & Seattle Codes
Though each project is unique, our work follows the same core principles: strict adherence to the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You get 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 computations for inspection.
You'll see compliant service entrance layouts with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We implement Article 250 methods, check electrode continuity, and test impedance to limit touch voltage during a ground fault. We also confirm AFCI/GFCI protection where specified, 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-ready compliance reports.
Personal Protective Equipment and LOTO
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 lack 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 check here 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, set perimeters, and coordinate shift changes so no device is re-energized before clearance. You verify again zero energy state in advance of removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring machinery methodically and safely.
Permits & Inspections
Prior to a single conductor gets installed, permits and inspections define the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You acquire the correct permit scope, validate 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 stage work for each inspection, using a precise inspection checklist: rough-in box calculations, staple interval requirements, conductor derating, conduit support specifications, working clearance standards, service disconnect marking, bonding jumper connections, and arc-fault/GFCI protection checks. You maintain as-builts accurate, address red tags immediately, and submit re-inspections only when corrections are verified. Final sign-off matches panel schedules, torque records, and test results.
Transparent Pricing and Straightforward Communication
We provide you with an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We specify the complete scope and total cost before work starts, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. Throughout the job, we provide clear, straightforward updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Transparent, Detailed Estimates
Expect upfront, detailed estimates that spell out labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work kicks off. You get a comprehensive breakdown connected 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 see what's mandated and why.
We utilize standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for transparent pricing. When field conditions differ—concealed junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we revise the estimate for compliance and accuracy, with your approval first. You'll understand timelines, access needs, utility coordination, and shutoff plans. Our documentation details warranty terms, submittals, and disposal methods, providing safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.
No Secret Charges
Though scopes change during real-world work, our pricing never conceals extras. You obtain 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 provide a flat rate for each approved scope segment, determined by labor hours, parts specifications, and required permits. If conditions require a change, we pause, price it, and seek your authorization.
Our rate structure aligns with NEC-driven protocols and safety best practices. You'll find straightforward costs for GFCIs, AFCIs, grounding upgrades, or service-entrance work. We also feature bundle discounts when you package related jobs—like panel upgrades with surge protection—lowering total labor mobilizations. Transparent math, documented assumptions, and fixed pricing safeguard your budget, schedule, and safety.
Clear-Language Updates
Clear pricing only works when updates are just as clear. You'll get plain-language briefings that translate NEC regulations, load calculations, and permit steps into tangible actions, timelines, and costs. We highlight scope changes immediately, record their code drivers, and detail safety impacts so you can authorize with certainty.
We organize milestones, furnish written change orders, and record timestamped progress images. You receive labeled circuits, breaker capacities, GFCI/AFCI installations, and grounding upgrades explained in straightforward language. When we suggest panel capacity reduction or arc-fault protection systems, we explain the safety risk, code standard, and cost before work proceeds.
You will also get community updates on service interruptions, system inspections, and local initiatives, plus actionable energy recommendations—including LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to reduce usage while ensuring compliance and safety.
Project Journey: From Consultation Through Final Walkthrough
Before any tools come out, we begin with a detailed on-site consultation to determine scope, load requirements, code compliance requirements, and safety priorities. We validate service capacity, chart circuits, determine grounding/bonding specifications, and note access or shutoff procedures. You'll receive a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a detailed scope proposal with itemized materials and permit requirements.
Following permit approval, we plan work to reduce outages. We implement lockout/tagout protocols, preserve finishes, and execute installations per NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer specs. We label panels, torque terminations to specification, and test GFCI/AFCI, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once powered up, we validate systems, demonstrate operation, and document warranties and maintenance schedules.
Final inspection validates punch-list closure, inspector sign-off, and post installation support details.
