We utilize task-appropriate PPE and maintain Lockout/Tagout providing zero-energy verification before any work begins. We secure the required permits, coordinate inspections, and deliver as-built records to confirm your system passes on the first review.
Seattle Codes and NEC
Although each project is unique, our work follows the same fundamental approach: strict alignment with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You receive 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 observe compliant service entrance layouts with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We employ Article 250 methods, confirm electrode continuity, and test impedance to restrict touch voltage during a ground fault. We also verify AFCI/GFCI protection where required, 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 ready-for-inspection compliance reports.
Personal Protective Equipment and LOTO
Based on compliant design and installation, field more info 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 validated on a known source before and after testing.
You retain control of lock keys, post boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no equipment is re-energized prematurely. You confirm again zero energy state prior to removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring devices methodically and safely.
Permits Plus Inspections
In advance of a single conductor is pulled, permits and inspections set 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 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 maintain as-builts accurate, remedy red tags immediately, and request re-inspections only when corrections are confirmed. Final sign-off matches panel schedules, torque specifications, and test results.
Open Rates and Transparent 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 begins, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. While work progresses, we give you plain‑language updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Clear, Itemized Cost Breakdowns
Expect upfront, itemized estimates that outline labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work commences. You are provided with a detailed breakdown linked to scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI requirements, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We synchronize each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you understand what's needed and why.
We use standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for transparent pricing. Should field conditions change—buried junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we update the estimate for compliance and accuracy, with your approval first. You'll know timelines, access needs, utility coordination, and shutoff plans. Our documentation explains warranty terms, submittals, and disposal methods, guaranteeing safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.
