Engage with commercial and tenant improvements with a team that designs to code compliance, coordinates around your deadlines, and maintains operational continuity. You get detailed design plans, stamped drawings, and clean installations that work with base-building systems without interrupting revenue hours.
We provide tenant buildouts, workplace electrical upgrades, distribution panel improvements, and electrical service capacity expansions matched to actual load profiles. We provide carefully coordinated conduit routing, identification protocols, and termination practices that enable future expansion. We stage shutdowns, offer temporary power, and coordinate cutovers to protect uptime.
From emergency egress lighting to selective coordination and arc-fault mitigation, we build stable distribution that aligns with equipment requirements and landlord stipulations. Surge protection, metering, and low-voltage pathways are documented, more info planned, and tested, creating a compliant, maintainable, and scalable electrical environment.
Code Compliance and Safety-First Practices
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 implement Lockout/Tagout providing zero-energy verification before any work starts. We secure the required permits, coordinate inspections, and deliver as-built records to guarantee your system passes on the first review.
NEC and Seattle Codes
While every project is unique, our work adheres to the same core principles: strict alignment with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You receive designs and installations that satisfy 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 arrangements with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We follow Article 250 techniques, confirm electrode continuity, and test impedance to minimize touch voltage during a ground fault. We also ensure AFCI/GFCI protection where needed, 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 inspection-compliant compliance reports.
PPE and Lockout/Tagout
Based on compliant design and installation, field work maintains strict PPE and lockout/tagout controls to keep energized hazards at bay. You locate 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 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, set perimeters, and coordinate shift changes so no machinery is re-energized before clearance. You confirm again zero energy state before removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring devices methodically and safely.
Building Permits and Inspections
Before a single conductor gets pulled, permits and inspections define the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You acquire the appropriate permit scope, verify 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 prepare work for each inspection, employing a precise inspection checklist: rough-in box fill, staple spacing, derating, conduit support intervals, equipment working clearances, service disconnect labeling, bonding jumpers, and arc-fault/GFCI protection verification. You keep as-builts current, resolve red tags immediately, and initiate re-inspections only when corrections are verified. Final sign-off matches panel schedules, torque documentation, and test results.
Clear Fees and Clear 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 starts, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. While work progresses, we deliver plain‑language updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Clear, Detailed Estimates
Rely on upfront, comprehensive estimates that spell out labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work commences. You obtain a complete breakdown tied 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 know what's required and why.
We utilize standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for transparent pricing. When field conditions vary—buried junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we adjust the estimate for accuracy and compliance, with your approval first. You'll understand timelines, access requirements, utility coordination, and shutoff plans. Our documentation clarifies warranty terms, submittals, and disposal methods, providing safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.
No Concealed Fees
While scopes change during real-world work, our pricing never hides extras. You get upfront billing tied to defined tasks, materials, and code-compliant methods, so no hidden charges emerge when we open a panel or trace a circuit. We offer a flat rate for each approved scope segment, determined by labor hours, parts specifications, and required permits. If conditions necessitate a change, we halt, price it, and obtain your authorization.
Our fee system complies with NEC-driven protocols and safety best practices. You'll receive straightforward costs for service-entrance work, grounding upgrades, AFCIs, or GFCIs. We also provide bundle discounts when you package related tasks—like panel upgrades with surge protection—lowering total labor mobilizations. Honest numbers, documented assumptions, and guaranteed pricing preserve your schedule, budget, and safety.
Plain-Language Updates
Transparent pricing requires equally transparent updates. You'll receive clear communications that convert NEC standards, load calculations, and permit procedures into concrete actions, timelines, and costs. We highlight scope changes instantly, document their code drivers, and detail safety impacts so you can approve with confidence.
We establish project milestones, deliver documented change orders, and capture timestamped progress photographs. You get circuit identification, breaker specifications, GFCI/AFCI locations, and grounding enhancements in simple terms. If we recommend panel capacity reduction or arc-fault protection systems, we clarify 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 helpful energy tips—like LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to reduce usage while preserving compliance and safety.
Project Workflow: From Initial Consultation to 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, determine grounding/bonding needs, and document access or shutoff procedures. You will get a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a clearly defined proposal with specified materials and permit requirements.
After permit approval, we plan work to reduce outages. We implement lockout/tagout protocols, preserve finishes, and execute installations per NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer requirements. We mark panels, torque terminations to specification, and test GFCI/AFCI, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once activated, we commission systems, demonstrate operation, and document warranty details and maintenance tasks.
