Step into commercial and tenant improvements with a team that engineers to code, coordinates around your deadlines, and keeps operations safe and online. You obtain detailed design plans, stamped drawings, and clean installations that integrate with base-building systems without disrupting revenue hours.
We manage tenant buildouts, Office rewiring, panel upgrades, and utility service upgrades calibrated to actual load profiles. You receive systematically planned conduit routing, identification protocols, and termination practices that allow for future expansion. We coordinate shutdowns, provide temporary power, and schedule cutovers to preserve uptime.
From emergency egress lighting to selective coordination and arc-fault mitigation, we construct dependable distribution that complies with equipment specs and landlord stipulations. Low-voltage pathways, metering, and surge protection are documented, planned, and tested, creating a compliant, maintainable, and scalable electrical infrastructure.
Safety-Priority Practices and Code Compliance
You expect strict adherence to the NEC and Seattle Electrical Code, with clear documentation of conductor sizing, grounding, and fault protection. We utilize task-appropriate PPE and enforce Lockout/Tagout so you get zero-energy verification before any work commences. We obtain the required permits, coordinate inspections, and deliver as-built records to ensure your system passes on the first review.
NEC & Seattle Codes
While each project is unique, our work adheres to the same basis: strict adherence to the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You obtain designs and installations that conform to the latest adopted editions, including Seattle's local amendments. We check conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and fault-current ratings, then document specifications for inspection.
You will encounter compliant service entrance designs with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We follow Article 250 procedures, verify electrode continuity, and test impedance to minimize touch voltage during a ground fault. We also make certain AFCI/GFCI protection where mandated, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, wiring methods, and penetrations follow listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and inspection-ready compliance reports.
Personal Protective Equipment and Lockout/Tagout Systems
Founded upon compliant design and installation, field work adheres to 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 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, set perimeters, and coordinate shift changes so no equipment is re-energized too early. You re-verify zero energy state before removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring machinery methodically and safely.
Permits & Inspections
Prior to a single conductor gets installed, permits and inspections establish 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 avoid 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 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 ensure as-builts current, address red tags without delay, and initiate re-inspections only when corrections are confirmed. Final sign-off aligns with panel schedules, torque records, and test results.
Transparent Rates and Open Communication
You receive an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We state scope and total cost before work starts, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. Throughout the job, we give you clear, straightforward updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Upfront, Itemized Estimates
Count on upfront, comprehensive estimates that outline labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work starts. You obtain a complete breakdown tied to scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI specifications, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We match each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you know what's necessary and why.
We utilize standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for cost transparency. When field conditions differ—hidden junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we revise the estimate for accuracy and compliance, with your approval first. You'll understand timelines, access specifications, utility coordination, and shutoff plans. Our documentation explains warranty terms, submittals, and disposal methods, ensuring safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.
No Concealed Fees
While scopes evolve during real-world work, our pricing never conceals extras. You receive upfront billing linked to defined tasks, materials, and code-compliant methods, so you won't face unexpected costs when we access a panel or trace a circuit. We quote 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 pricing framework follows NEC-driven processes and safety best practices. We provide clear costs for service-entrance work, grounding upgrades, AFCIs, or GFCIs. We also provide bundle discounts when you bundle related services—like panel upgrades with surge protection—decreasing total labor mobilizations. Honest numbers, documented assumptions, and guaranteed pricing preserve your schedule, budget, and safety.
Simple-Language Revisions
Transparent pricing requires equally transparent updates. You'll receive clear communications that convert NEC requirements, load calculations, and permit processes into specific actions, timelines, and costs. We highlight scope changes right away, note their code drivers, and document safety impacts so you can make informed decisions.
We organize milestones, furnish written change orders, and record timestamped progress images. You receive circuit labels, breaker sizes, GFCI/AFCI placements, and grounding upgrades described in easy-to-understand terms. Should we recommend derating your panel or installing arc-fault protection, we break down the potential hazard, relevant standard, and pricing prior to beginning work.
You'll also receive community updates on outages, inspections, and city initiatives, plus practical energy advice—like LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to decrease usage while preserving compliance and safety.
Project Journey: From Consultation to Final Walkthrough
Before we begin any physical work, we start with a thorough on-site consultation to determine scope, load requirements, code specifications, and safety priorities. We verify service capacity, map circuits, assess grounding/bonding needs, and record access or shutoff procedures. You'll receive a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a fixed-scope proposal with listed materials and permit requirements.
Following permit approval, we plan work to minimize outages. We implement lockout/tagout protocols, safeguard finishes, and complete installations per NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer requirements. We label panels, torque terminations to specification, and test GFCI/AFCI, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once powered up, we verify systems, show operation, and document warranties and maintenance tasks.
Final walkthrough confirms punch-list closure, inspector sign-off, and post installation support details.
