Step into commercial and tenant improvements with a team that builds to engineering standards, schedules to your milestones, and keeps operations safe and online. You receive detailed design plans, stamped drawings, and clean installations that connect to base-building systems without interfering with revenue hours.
We specialize in Tenant fit outs, workplace electrical upgrades, service panel enhancements, and electrical service capacity expansions sized to actual load profiles. You'll get carefully coordinated conduit routing, marking conventions, and termination practices that allow for future expansion. We schedule shutdowns, offer temporary power, and schedule cutovers to ensure uptime.
Spanning emergency egress lighting, selective coordination, and arc-fault mitigation, we build dependable distribution that aligns with equipment specs and landlord requirements. Metering, low-voltage pathways, and surge protection are designed, documented, and verified, providing a maintainable, compliant, and scalable electrical system.
Safety-Focused Practices and Code Compliance
You require 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 enforce Lockout/Tagout to ensure zero-energy verification before any work begins. We secure the required permits, coordinate inspections, and deliver as-built records to ensure your system passes on the first review.
Seattle Codes and National Electrical Code
Though every project is distinct, our work maintains the same fundamental approach: strict alignment with 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 computations for inspection.
You'll find compliant service entrance designs with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We utilize Article 250 procedures, confirm electrode continuity, and test impedance to minimize touch voltage during a ground fault. We also guarantee AFCI/GFCI protection where needed, 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 ready-for-inspection compliance reports.
PPE 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 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 verified on a known source before and after testing.
You maintain control of lock keys, establish boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no device is re-energized too early. You re-verify zero energy state in advance of removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring machinery methodically and safely.
Permits & Inspections
Prior to a single conductor is pulled, permits and inspections set the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You secure the correct permit scope, confirm 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 detailed 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 keep as-builts up-to-date, remedy red tags promptly, and request re-inspections only when corrections are verified. Final sign-off aligns with panel schedules, torque records, and test results.
Clear 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 specify the complete scope and total cost before work starts, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. While work progresses, we provide easy-to-understand updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Transparent, Itemized Pricing
Depend on upfront, comprehensive estimates that clarify labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work begins. You receive a comprehensive breakdown tied to scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI demands, 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 website cost transparency. If field conditions change—concealed junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we adjust 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, ensuring safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.
No Hidden Charges
Although scopes evolve during real-world work, our pricing never conceals extras. You obtain upfront billing linked to defined tasks, materials, and code-compliant methods, so you won't face unexpected costs 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 require a change, we pause, price it, and obtain your authorization.
Our pricing framework follows NEC-driven procedures and safety best practices. You'll receive transparent costs for AFCIs, GFCIs, service-entrance work, or grounding upgrades. We also include bundle discounts when you package related services—like panel upgrades with surge protection—reducing total labor mobilizations. Honest numbers, documented assumptions, and set pricing preserve your schedule, budget, and safety.
Clear-Language Updates
Transparent pricing requires equally transparent updates. We provide straightforward updates that transform NEC requirements, load calculations, and permit processes into tangible actions, timelines, and costs. We flag scope changes instantly, note their code drivers, and outline safety impacts so you can make informed decisions.
We organize milestones, furnish written change orders, and record timestamped progress images. You get circuit labeling, breaker sizing, GFCI/AFCI positioning, and grounding improvements explained in straightforward language. If we propose derating your panel or installing arc-fault protection, we'll explain the safety risk, code standard, and cost before we proceed with the work.
Additionally, you'll receive community updates on outages, infrastructure inspections, and community programs, plus actionable energy advice—like LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to minimize usage while preserving compliance and safety.
Project Process: From Consultation Through Final Walkthrough
Before any tools come out, we initiate a thorough on-site consultation to determine scope, load requirements, code specifications, and safety priorities. We validate 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 clearly defined proposal with specified materials and permit requirements.
Following permit approval, we arrange work to limit outages. We implement lockout/tagout protocols, protect finishes, and execute 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 activated, we validate systems, demonstrate operation, and document warranty details and maintenance requirements.
The final walkthrough verifies punch-list closure, inspector sign-off, and post installation support details.
