Engage with commercial and tenant improvements with a team that designs to code compliance, aligns with your timeline, and keeps operations safe and online. You obtain detailed design plans, stamped drawings, and seamless installations that work with base-building systems without interrupting revenue hours.
We handle Tenant fit outs, office electrical rewiring, electrical panel upgrades, and utility service upgrades sized to actual load profiles. You'll get carefully coordinated conduit routing, labeling standards, and termination practices that allow for future expansion. We plan shutdowns, deliver temporary power, and sequence cutovers to ensure uptime.
Covering everything from emergency egress lighting through selective coordination to arc-fault mitigation, we build robust distribution that meets equipment specs and landlord stipulations. Low-voltage pathways, metering, and surge protection are planned, documented, and tested, providing a maintainable, compliant, and scalable electrical environment.
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 utilize task-appropriate PPE and maintain Lockout/Tagout so you get zero-energy verification before any work begins. We pull the required permits, coordinate inspections, and deliver as-built records to guarantee your system passes on the first review.
NEC and Seattle Codes
Although every project is distinct, our work adheres to the same foundation: strict adherence to the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You obtain 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 calculations for inspection.
You'll see compliant service entrance configurations with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We follow Article 250 procedures, verify electrode continuity, and test impedance to limit touch voltage during a ground fault. We also make certain AFCI/GFCI protection where needed, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, wiring approaches, and penetrations adhere to listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and inspection-ready compliance reports.
Personal Protective Equipment and LOTO
Building on compliant design and installation, field work follows strict PPE and lockout/tagout controls to keep energized hazards at bay. You identify 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 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 verified on a known source before and after testing.
You keep control of access keys, set perimeters, and coordinate shift changes so no device is re-energized too early. You confirm again zero energy state in advance of removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring machinery carefully and safely.
Permits and Inspections
Prior to a single conductor gets pulled, permits and inspections establish the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You secure the appropriate permit scope, confirm fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to avoid idle crews and rushed work. You consult 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 fill, staple spacing, derating, conduit support intervals, equipment working clearances, service disconnect labeling, bonding jumpers, and arc-fault/GFCI protection verification. You ensure as-builts current, resolve red tags immediately, and initiate re-inspections only when corrections are confirmed. Final sign-off matches panel schedules, torque records, and test results.
Straightforward Rates 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 state scope and total cost before work commences, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. During the project, we give you easy-to-understand updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Clear, Detailed Estimates
Count on upfront, detailed estimates that detail labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work kicks off. You obtain a detailed breakdown linked 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 know what's needed and why.
We use standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for transparent pricing. If 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 know timelines, access needs, utility coordination, and shutoff plans. Our documentation clarifies warranty terms, submittals, and disposal methods, ensuring safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.
No Concealed Fees
Although scopes shift during real-world work, our pricing never hides 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 quote a flat rate for each approved scope segment, based on labor hours, parts specifications, and required permits. If conditions demand a change, we halt, price it, and obtain your authorization.
Our rate structure aligns with NEC-driven standards and safety best practices. You'll see straightforward costs for service-entrance work, grounding upgrades, AFCIs, or GFCIs. We also include bundle discounts when you group related services—like panel upgrades with surge protection—decreasing total labor mobilizations. Straightforward pricing, documented assumptions, and guaranteed pricing safeguard your timeline, financial plan, and safety.
Simple-Language Updates
Straightforward pricing demands equally straightforward updates. You'll receive clear communications that convert NEC requirements, load calculations, and permit procedures into specific actions, timelines, and costs. We highlight scope changes immediately, note their code drivers, and detail safety impacts so you can authorize with certainty.
We schedule milestones, provide written change orders, and timestamp progress photos. You get labeled circuits, breaker capacities, GFCI/AFCI installations, and grounding upgrades presented in clear language. 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.
Additionally, you'll receive community updates on power outages, facility inspections, and municipal programs, plus useful energy advice—like LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to reduce usage while upholding compliance and safety.
Project Process: From Consultation Through Final Walkthrough
Prior to bringing out any equipment, we begin with a comprehensive on-site consultation to define scope, load requirements, code constraints, and safety priorities. We validate service capacity, map circuits, assess grounding/bonding needs, and document access or shutoff procedures. We'll provide you with 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, protect finishes, and perform installations in compliance with NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer specs. We mark panels, torque terminations to required standards, and test ground fault and arc fault protection, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once energized, we commission systems, present operation, and document warranty information and maintenance schedules.
