Enter the world of commercial and tenant improvements with a team that designs to code compliance, coordinates around your deadlines, and ensures uninterrupted business operations. You get comprehensive project designs, stamped drawings, and clean installations that connect to base-building systems without interfering with revenue hours.
We provide Tenant fit outs, office electrical rewiring, panel upgrades, and service capacity increases designed according to actual load profiles. You receive properly coordinated conduit routing, labeling standards, and termination practices that accommodate future expansion. We schedule shutdowns, provide temporary power, and schedule cutovers to ensure uptime.
Spanning emergency egress lighting, selective coordination, and arc-fault mitigation, we build robust distribution that adheres to equipment specifications and landlord stipulations. Metering, low-voltage pathways, and surge protection are planned, documented, and tested, creating a maintainable, compliant, and scalable electrical system.
Code Compliance and Safety-Focused Practices
You expect 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 enforce Lockout/Tagout to ensure zero-energy verification before any work commences. We obtain the required permits, coordinate inspections, and supply as-built records to confirm your system passes on the first review.
Seattle Codes and NEC
Although every project is different, our work adheres to the same foundation: strict compliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You receive designs and installations that comply with the latest adopted editions, including Seattle's local amendments. We check conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and fault-current ratings, then document computations for inspection.
You'll see compliant service entrance designs with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We employ Article 250 techniques, confirm electrode continuity, and test impedance to restrict touch voltage during a ground fault. We also make certain AFCI/GFCI protection where required, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, wiring techniques, and penetrations adhere to listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and inspection-compliant compliance reports.
Personal Protective Equipment and LOTO
Founded upon 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 no presence of voltage, and apply isolation devices with durable tags and locks under a documented procedure. You wear personal protective equipment matched to 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 keep control of access keys, set perimeters, and coordinate shift changes so no machinery is re-energized too early. You verify again zero energy state prior to removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring machinery carefully and safely.
Permits and Inspections
Before a single conductor gets pulled, permits and inspections define the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You obtain the appropriate permit scope, confirm fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to prevent 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: box fill calculations, staple distances, derating factors, conduit support spacing, equipment clearance requirements, service disconnect identification, bonding jumper installation, and arc-fault/GFCI protection validation. You maintain as-builts up-to-date, remedy red tags immediately, and submit re-inspections only when corrections are validated. Final sign-off aligns with panel schedules, torque records, and test results.
Open Fees and Open Communication
You get an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We outline scope and total cost before work commences, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. During the project, we provide easy-to-understand updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Upfront, Itemized Estimates
Expect upfront, comprehensive estimates that spell out labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work starts. You obtain a comprehensive breakdown linked to scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI requirements, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We tie each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you know what's mandated and why.
We employ standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for clear cost visibility. If field conditions change—buried junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we update the estimate for accuracy and compliance, with your approval first. You'll be informed of timelines, access specifications, utility coordination, and shutoff plans. Our documentation explains warranty terms, submittals, and disposal methods, ensuring safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.
No Concealed Fees
Though scopes shift during real-world work, our pricing never conceals extras. You obtain upfront billing tied to defined tasks, materials, and code-compliant methods, so no hidden charges emerge when we access 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 demand a change, we pause, price it, and seek your authorization.
Our cost structure adheres to NEC-driven procedures and safety best practices. You'll see transparent costs for service-entrance work, grounding upgrades, AFCIs, or GFCIs. We also offer bundle discounts when you bundle related jobs—like panel upgrades with surge protection—minimizing total labor mobilizations. Clear calculations, documented assumptions, and guaranteed pricing preserve your timeline, financial plan, and safety.
Plain-Language Modifications
Clear pricing only works when updates are just as clear. You'll receive clear communications that convert NEC requirements, load calculations, and permit processes into tangible actions, timelines, and costs. We identify scope changes instantly, record their code drivers, and outline safety impacts so you can approve with confidence.
We set clear milestones, supply written modification orders, and document progress with timestamped photos. You see circuit identification, breaker specifications, GFCI/AFCI locations, and grounding enhancements in simple terms. Should we recommend electrical panel derating or arc-fault safety measures, we clarify the risk, the standard, and the price before work proceeds.
You will also get community updates on power outages, facility inspections, and municipal programs, plus useful energy suggestions—such as LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to minimize usage while upholding compliance and safety.
Project Workflow: From Consultation Through Final Walkthrough
Before any tools come out, we begin with a comprehensive on-site consultation to define scope, load requirements, code compliance requirements, and safety priorities. We verify service capacity, map circuits, determine grounding/bonding specifications, and document access or shutoff procedures. We'll provide you with a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a clearly defined proposal with listed materials and permit requirements.
Following permit approval, we schedule work to reduce outages. We implement lockout/tagout protocols, safeguard 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 energized, we commission systems, present operation, and document warranties and maintenance requirements.
