Step into commercial and tenant improvements with a team that designs to code compliance, aligns with your timeline, and ensures uninterrupted business operations. You get scoped designs, stamped drawings, and seamless installations that integrate with base-building systems without interfering with revenue hours.
We specialize in tenant fit-outs, Office rewiring, panel upgrades, and electrical service capacity expansions calibrated to actual load profiles. We provide properly coordinated conduit routing, marking conventions, and termination practices that enable future expansion. We coordinate shutdowns, supply temporary power, and coordinate cutovers to ensure uptime.
From emergency egress lighting to selective coordination and arc-fault mitigation, we build dependable distribution that meets equipment specs and landlord requirements. Low-voltage pathways, metering, and surge protection are planned, documented, and tested, delivering a scalable, compliant, and maintainable electrical infrastructure.
Code Compliance and Safety-Priority Practices
You expect 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 so you get zero-energy verification before any work begins. We secure the required permits, coordinate inspections, and supply as-built records to confirm your system passes on the first review.
NEC & Seattle Codes
Even though each project is unique, our work follows the same foundation: strict compliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You get designs and installations that conform to the latest adopted editions, including Seattle's local amendments. We validate conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and fault-current ratings, then document specifications for inspection.
You'll find compliant service entrance configurations with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We follow Article 250 methods, check electrode continuity, and test impedance to restrict 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 techniques, and penetrations comply with listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and code-compliant compliance reports.
Personal Protective Equipment and Lockout/Tagout
Based on 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 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 confirmed on a known source before and after testing.
You maintain control of access keys, post boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no equipment is re-energized prematurely. You confirm again zero energy state before removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring devices methodically and safely.
Permits and Inspections
Before a single conductor is pulled, permits and inspections define the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You acquire the right permit scope, verify fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to prevent idle crews and rushed work. You review NEC, WAC, and Seattle DCI requirements, documenting load calculations, conductor sizing, grounding, bonding, AFCI/GFCI locations, and fault-current ratings.
You organize work for every inspection, utilizing a detailed 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 accurate, address red tags without delay, and request re-inspections only when corrections are verified. Final sign-off matches panel schedules, torque specifications, and test results.
Open Pricing and Clear Communication
You get an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We outline total cost and scope before work begins, 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, Detailed Price Quotes
Expect upfront, detailed estimates that spell out labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work begins. You receive a complete breakdown tied to scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI demands, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We tie each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you see what's needed and why.
We employ standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for transparent pricing. If field conditions differ—concealed junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we adjust the estimate for compliance and accuracy, with your approval first. You'll know timelines, access specifications, utility coordination, and shutoff plans. Our documentation clarifies warranty terms, submittals, and disposal methods, guaranteeing safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.
Transparent Pricing Only
While 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 there are no surprises when we access a panel or trace a circuit. We provide a flat rate for each approved scope segment, based on labor hours, parts specifications, and required permits. If conditions necessitate a change, we stop, 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 combine related services—like panel upgrades with surge protection—minimizing total labor mobilizations. Clear calculations, documented assumptions, and locked pricing secure your schedule, budget, and safety.
Clear-Language Revisions
Clear pricing only works when updates are just as clear. You'll get plain-language briefings that translate NEC standards, load calculations, and permit procedures into tangible actions, timelines, and costs. We identify scope changes instantly, note their code drivers, and outline safety impacts so you can authorize with certainty.
We organize milestones, furnish written change orders, and record timestamped progress images. You see circuit identification, breaker specifications, GFCI/AFCI locations, and grounding enhancements presented in clear language. Should we recommend panel capacity reduction or arc-fault protection systems, we'll explain the risks involved, applicable standards, and associated costs before we proceed with the work.
You'll additionally obtain community updates on service interruptions, system inspections, and local initiatives, plus actionable energy tips—like LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to lower usage while maintaining compliance and safety.
Project Process: From Initial Consultation to Final Walkthrough
Before any tools come out, we initiate a comprehensive on-site consultation to establish scope, load requirements, code constraints, and safety priorities. We confirm service capacity, chart circuits, determine grounding/bonding specifications, and record 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 lockout/tagout, preserve finishes, and complete installations according to NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer specifications. We identify panels, torque terminations to required standards, and test GFCI and AFCI devices, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once activated, we validate systems, show operation, and document warranty details and maintenance schedules.
Final walkthrough confirms punch-list closure, inspector sign-off, and post installation support details.
