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 detailed design plans, stamped drawings, and seamless installations that connect to base-building systems without interfering with revenue hours.

We provide tenant buildouts, Office rewiring, service panel enhancements, and electrical service capacity expansions designed according to actual load profiles. You receive properly coordinated conduit routing, identification protocols, and termination practices that allow for future expansion. We schedule shutdowns, furnish temporary power, and schedule cutovers to sustain uptime.

From emergency egress lighting to selective coordination and arc-fault mitigation, we develop stable distribution that adheres to equipment requirements and landlord requirements. Surge protection, metering, and low-voltage pathways are documented, planned, and tested, creating a compliant, maintainable, and scalable electrical environment.

Code Compliance and Safety-Priority Practices

You require strict adherence to the NEC and Seattle Electrical Code, with clear documentation of conductor sizing, grounding, and fault protection. We use task-appropriate PPE and enforce Lockout/Tagout providing zero-energy verification before any work begins. We pull the required permits, coordinate inspections, and deliver as-built records to confirm your system passes on the first review.

National Electrical Code and Seattle Codes

Even though each project is one-of-a-kind, our work follows the same basis: strict conformity to 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 validate conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and fault-current ratings, then document computations for inspection.

You will encounter compliant service entrance configurations with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We employ Article 250 techniques, verify electrode continuity, and test impedance to minimize 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 procedures, and penetrations comply with listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and inspection-ready compliance reports.

PPE and Lockout/Tagout Procedures

Based 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 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 verified on a known source before and after testing.

You retain control of lock keys, set perimeters, and coordinate shift changes so no equipment is re-energized too early. You verify again zero energy state in advance of removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring machinery methodically and safely.

Permits and Inspections

In advance of a single conductor gets pulled, permits and inspections set the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You obtain the appropriate permit scope, validate fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to stop 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 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 up-to-date, address red tags without delay, and request re-inspections only when corrections are verified. Final sign-off corresponds to panel schedules, torque specifications, and test results.

Clear Rates and Clear Communication

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

Count on upfront, line-by-line estimates that outline labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work kicks off. You get a complete 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 understand what's necessary and why.

We employ standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for transparent pricing. If field conditions differ—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 Secret Charges

Though scopes evolve during real-world work, our pricing check here never conceals extras. You obtain upfront billing tied 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, determined by labor hours, parts specifications, and required permits. If conditions demand a change, we pause, price it, and seek your authorization.

Our pricing framework follows NEC-driven protocols and safety best practices. You'll see clear costs for service-entrance work, grounding upgrades, AFCIs, or GFCIs. We also feature bundle discounts when you combine related tasks—like panel upgrades with surge protection—decreasing total labor mobilizations. Transparent math, documented assumptions, and locked pricing preserve your schedule, budget, and safety.

Clear-Language Revisions

Transparent pricing requires equally transparent updates. You'll get plain-language briefings that translate NEC standards, load calculations, and permit steps into tangible actions, timelines, and costs. We identify scope changes instantly, document their code drivers, and outline safety impacts so you can make informed decisions.

We schedule milestones, provide written change orders, and timestamp progress photos. You see circuit identification, breaker specifications, GFCI/AFCI locations, and grounding enhancements in simple terms. If we propose panel capacity reduction or arc-fault protection systems, we'll explain the potential hazard, relevant standard, and pricing before work proceeds.

Additionally, you'll receive community updates on service interruptions, system inspections, and local initiatives, plus actionable energy suggestions—such as LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to minimize usage while ensuring compliance and safety.

Project Journey: From Consultation Through Final Walkthrough

Before any tools come out, we initiate a comprehensive on-site consultation to define scope, load requirements, code constraints, and safety priorities. We validate service capacity, document circuits, assess grounding/bonding requirements, and document access or shutoff procedures. You'll receive a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a clearly defined proposal with specified materials and permit requirements.

After permit approval, we schedule work to reduce outages. We implement lockout/tagout protocols, protect finishes, and execute installations in compliance with NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer specifications. We label panels, torque terminations to specification, and test GFCI/AFCI, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once activated, we commission systems, demonstrate operation, and document warranties and maintenance tasks.
