Enter the world of commercial and tenant improvements with a team that designs to code compliance, schedules to your milestones, and maintains operational continuity. You get scoped designs, stamped drawings, and clean installations that integrate with base-building systems without interrupting revenue hours.

We manage tenant fit-outs, Office rewiring, distribution panel improvements, and electrical service capacity expansions calibrated to actual load profiles. You receive coordinated conduit routing, labeling standards, and termination practices that accommodate future expansion. We stage shutdowns, furnish temporary power, and coordinate cutovers to sustain uptime.

Covering everything from emergency egress lighting through selective coordination to arc-fault mitigation, we develop robust distribution that adheres to equipment requirements and landlord stipulations. Metering, low-voltage pathways, and surge protection are planned, documented, and tested, providing a compliant, maintainable, 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 wear task-appropriate PPE and implement Lockout/Tagout providing zero-energy verification before any work commences. We pull the required permits, coordinate inspections, and provide as-built records to ensure your system passes on the first review.

Seattle Codes and National Electrical Code

Although every project is one-of-a-kind, our work maintains the same basis: strict compliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You get designs and installations that meet 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 will encounter compliant service entrance designs with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We employ Article 250 approaches, verify electrode continuity, and test impedance to limit touch voltage during a ground fault. We also make certain AFCI/GFCI protection where specified, 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 code-compliant compliance reports.

Personal Protective Equipment and Lockout/Tagout

Founded upon 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 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 verified on a known source before and after testing.

You maintain control of keys, establish boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no machinery is re-energized before clearance. You verify again zero energy state before removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring devices carefully 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 right permit scope, verify fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to avoid 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 thorough 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 current, address red tags promptly, and request re-inspections only when corrections are validated. Final sign-off aligns with panel schedules, torque records, and test results.

Straightforward Pricing and Transparent Communication

You receive an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We specify the complete 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.

Transparent, Detailed Estimates

Depend on upfront, line-by-line estimates that outline labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work kicks off. You are provided with 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 synchronize each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you understand what's required and why.

We employ standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for transparent pricing. Should field conditions change—hidden junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we adjust the estimate for accuracy and compliance, with your approval first. You'll be informed of timelines, access needs, 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 Secret Charges

Although scopes shift during real-world work, our pricing never conceals extras. You receive upfront billing tied to defined tasks, materials, and code-compliant methods, so you won't face unexpected costs when we examine 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 seek your authorization.

Our fee system complies with NEC-driven processes and safety best practices. You'll see transparent costs for GFCIs, AFCIs, grounding upgrades, or service-entrance work. We also include bundle discounts when you bundle related services—like panel upgrades with surge protection—decreasing total labor mobilizations. Straightforward pricing, documented assumptions, and fixed pricing safeguard your safety, budget, and schedule.

Plain-Language Updates

Clear pricing only works when updates are just as clear. You'll receive clear communications that convert NEC standards, load calculations, and permit steps into concrete actions, timelines, and costs. We highlight scope changes right away, note their code drivers, and outline safety impacts so you can approve with confidence.

We schedule milestones, provide written change orders, and timestamp progress photos. You'll see labeled circuits, breaker capacities, GFCI/AFCI installations, and grounding upgrades explained in straightforward language. If we recommend panel capacity reduction or arc-fault protection systems, we'll explain the risks involved, applicable standards, and associated costs before any work starts.

You'll additionally obtain community updates on power outages, facility inspections, and municipal programs, plus actionable energy tips—like LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to reduce usage while preserving compliance and safety.

Project Process: From Initial Consultation to Final Walkthrough

Before any tools come out, we initiate a thorough on-site consultation to determine scope, load requirements, code constraints, and safety priorities. We verify service capacity, map circuits, determine grounding/bonding requirements, and note access or shutoff procedures. You'll receive a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a fixed-scope proposal with itemized materials and permit requirements.

After permit approval, we schedule work to minimize outages. We lockout/tagout, safeguard finishes, and complete installations according to NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer specifications. We mark panels, torque terminations to spec, and test ground fault and arc fault protection, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once energized, we commission systems, demonstrate operation, and document warranty details and maintenance schedules.

Final inspection validates punch-list closure, inspector sign-off, and post installation support details.
