Step into commercial and tenant improvements with a team that engineers to code, schedules to your milestones, and keeps operations safe and online. You obtain scoped designs, stamped drawings, and clean installations that connect to base-building systems without interrupting revenue hours.
We manage Tenant fit outs, office electrical rewiring, distribution panel improvements, and electrical service capacity expansions sized to actual load profiles. You receive systematically planned conduit routing, label standards, and termination practices that allow for future expansion. We organize shutdowns, supply temporary power, and sequence cutovers to protect uptime.
Spanning emergency egress lighting, selective coordination, and arc-fault mitigation, we build stable distribution that adheres to equipment specs and landlord requirements. Metering, low-voltage pathways, and surge protection are documented, planned, and tested, ensuring a compliant, maintainable, and scalable electrical environment.
Safety-Priority 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 providing zero-energy verification before any work begins. We obtain the required permits, coordinate inspections, and provide as-built records to guarantee your system passes on the first review.
National Electrical Code and Seattle Codes
Though each project is distinct, our work follows the same core principles: strict conformity 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 verify conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and fault-current ratings, then document specifications for inspection.
You'll find compliant service entrance layouts with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We implement Article 250 methods, confirm electrode continuity, and test impedance to limit touch voltage during a ground fault. We also ensure AFCI/GFCI protection where required, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, wiring procedures, and penetrations follow listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and ready-for-inspection compliance reports.
Personal Protective Equipment and Lockout/Tagout
Founded upon 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 no presence 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 confirmed on a known source before and after testing.
You retain control of keys, post boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no equipment is re-energized too early. You re-verify zero energy state prior to removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring machinery methodically and safely.
Required Permits and Inspections
Before a single conductor is pulled, permits and inspections establish the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You obtain the right permit scope, verify fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to prevent 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 prepare work for each inspection, employing 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 keep as-builts current, resolve red tags promptly, and submit re-inspections only when corrections are confirmed. Final sign-off corresponds to panel schedules, torque records, and test results.
Honest Costs and Open Communication
You get 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 commences, 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
Rely on upfront, detailed estimates that outline labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work begins. You receive a complete breakdown aligned with scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI needs, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We align each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you understand what's necessary and why.
We utilize standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for cost transparency. Should field conditions change—buried 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 explains warranty terms, submittals, and disposal methods, providing safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.
No Secret Charges
Although scopes change during real-world work, our pricing never conceals extras. You get upfront billing linked to defined tasks, materials, and code-compliant methods, so there are no surprises when we examine 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 necessitate a change, we pause, price it, and wait for your authorization.
Our cost structure adheres to NEC-driven standards and safety best practices. You'll receive detailed costs for AFCIs, GFCIs, service-entrance work, or grounding upgrades. We also offer bundle discounts when you bundle related services—like panel upgrades with surge protection—minimizing total labor mobilizations. Clear calculations, documented assumptions, and set pricing protect your timeline, financial plan, and safety.
Plain-Language Modifications
Straightforward pricing demands equally straightforward updates. We provide straightforward updates that transform NEC regulations, load calculations, and permit procedures into concrete actions, timelines, and costs. We highlight scope changes immediately, record their code drivers, and outline safety impacts so you can make informed decisions.
We establish project milestones, deliver documented change orders, and capture timestamped progress photographs. You receive circuit labeling, breaker sizing, GFCI/AFCI positioning, and grounding improvements explained in straightforward language. If we propose panel capacity reduction or arc-fault protection systems, we clarify the safety risk, code standard, and cost before any work starts.
You'll additionally obtain community updates on outages, inspections, and city initiatives, plus helpful energy advice—like LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to reduce usage while ensuring compliance and safety.
Project Journey: From Consultation Through Final Walkthrough
Prior to bringing out any equipment, we initiate a comprehensive on-site consultation to determine scope, load requirements, code specifications, and safety priorities. We confirm service capacity, chart circuits, assess grounding/bonding needs, and note access or shutoff procedures. You'll receive a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a clearly defined proposal with specified materials and permit requirements.
After permit approval, we schedule work to reduce outages. We perform lockout/tagout procedures, preserve finishes, and execute installations in compliance with NEC, local amendments, and check here manufacturer specifications. We mark panels, torque terminations to required standards, and test GFCI/AFCI, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once powered up, we validate systems, show operation, and document warranties and maintenance schedules.
Final walkthrough confirms punch-list closure, inspector sign-off, and post installation support details.
