Enter the world of commercial and tenant improvements with a team that designs to code compliance, coordinates around your deadlines, and keeps operations safe and online. You obtain detailed design plans, stamped drawings, and seamless installations that connect to base-building systems without interrupting revenue hours.

We handle tenant buildouts, commercial rewiring, panel upgrades, and power capacity enhancements matched to actual load profiles. You'll get carefully coordinated conduit routing, label standards, and termination practices that facilitate future expansion. We coordinate shutdowns, supply temporary power, and schedule cutovers to preserve uptime.

Spanning emergency egress lighting, selective coordination, and arc-fault mitigation, we construct robust distribution that adheres to equipment specs and landlord standards. Low-voltage pathways, metering, and surge protection are documented, planned, and tested, providing a compliant, maintainable, and scalable electrical system.

Safety-Priority Practices and Code Compliance

You demand 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 implement Lockout/Tagout providing zero-energy verification before any work starts. We secure 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

Though each project is different, our work maintains the same foundation: strict conformity to 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 check conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and fault-current ratings, then document calculations for inspection.

You'll find compliant service entrance layouts with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We utilize Article 250 procedures, check electrode continuity, and test impedance to limit touch voltage during a ground fault. We also verify AFCI/GFCI protection where needed, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, wiring methods, 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

Building on compliant design and installation, field work follows 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 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 maintain control of access keys, set perimeters, and coordinate shift changes so no device is re-energized prematurely. You re-verify zero energy state in advance of removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring devices methodically and safely.

Building Permits and Inspections

In advance of a single conductor gets pulled, permits and inspections establish the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You secure the appropriate permit scope, confirm 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 stage work for each inspection, using a precise 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 keep as-builts current, resolve red tags promptly, and initiate re-inspections only when corrections are validated. Final sign-off aligns with panel schedules, torque specifications, and test results.

Open Rates and Transparent Communication

You receive an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We outline the complete scope and total cost before work commences, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. While work progresses, we deliver plain‑language updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.

Upfront, Itemized Estimates

Expect upfront, comprehensive estimates that detail labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work begins. You receive a detailed breakdown connected 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 required and why.

We use standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for transparent pricing. Should field conditions vary—concealed junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we revise the estimate for compliance and accuracy, with your approval first. You'll understand timelines, access requirements, utility coordination, and shutoff plans. Our documentation explains warranty terms, submittals, and disposal methods, guaranteeing safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.

No Surprise Fees

While scopes change during real-world work, our pricing never conceals extras. You receive upfront billing connected to defined tasks, materials, and code-compliant methods, so no hidden charges emerge when we examine a panel or trace a circuit. We provide a flat rate for each approved scope segment, determined by labor hours, parts specifications, and required permits. If conditions require a change, we pause, price it, and wait for your authorization.

Our pricing framework follows NEC-driven standards and safety best practices. You'll see straightforward costs for service-entrance work, grounding upgrades, AFCIs, or GFCIs. We also provide bundle discounts when you combine related projects—like panel upgrades with surge protection—minimizing total labor mobilizations. Straightforward pricing, documented assumptions, and guaranteed pricing preserve your schedule, budget, and safety.

Plain-Language Modifications

Clear pricing only works when updates are just as clear. You'll receive clear communications that convert NEC regulations, load calculations, and permit steps into tangible actions, timelines, and costs. We identify scope changes immediately, note their code drivers, and detail safety impacts so you can make informed decisions.

We set clear milestones, supply written modification orders, and document progress with timestamped photos. You receive circuit labeling, breaker sizing, GFCI/AFCI positioning, and grounding improvements explained in straightforward language. When we suggest electrical panel derating or arc-fault safety measures, we break down the risk, the standard, and the price before any work starts.

You will also get community updates on outages, infrastructure inspections, and community programs, plus helpful energy suggestions—such as LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to reduce usage while ensuring compliance and safety.

Project Journey: From Consultation to Final Walkthrough

Before any tools come out, we initiate a comprehensive on-site consultation to establish scope, load requirements, code compliance requirements, and safety priorities. We validate service capacity, document circuits, determine grounding/bonding requirements, and record access or shutoff procedures. We'll provide you with a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a detailed scope proposal with listed materials and permit requirements.

Following permit approval, we plan work to reduce outages. We lockout/tagout, protect finishes, and perform installations according to NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer requirements. We label panels, torque terminations to specification, and test ground fault and arc fault protection, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once activated, we validate systems, present operation, and document warranty information and maintenance schedules.
