We deliver 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 to ensure zero-energy verification before any work commences. We pull the required permits, coordinate inspections, and provide as-built records to confirm your system passes on the first review.
Seattle Codes & NEC
Though each project is one-of-a-kind, our work follows the same foundation: strict alignment 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 confirm 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 techniques, confirm electrode continuity, and test impedance to minimize touch voltage during a ground fault.

Equipment listings, wiring approaches, and penetrations adhere to listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and code-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 determine all energy sources, verify absence 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 retain control of lock keys, establish boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no device is re-energized prematurely. You confirm again zero energy state in advance of removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring machinery methodically and safely.
Licensing and Inspections
Before a single conductor is pulled, permits and inspections set the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You acquire the correct permit scope, validate fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to stop 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 organize work for every inspection, utilizing a precise inspection checklist: rough-in box fill, staple spacing, derating, conduit support intervals, equipment working clearances, service disconnect labeling, bonding jumpers, and arc-fault/GFCI protection verification. You maintain as-builts current, address red tags immediately, and request re-inspections only when corrections are confirmed. Final sign-off corresponds to panel schedules, torque specifications, and test results.
Clear Pricing and Open Communication
You get an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We state total cost and scope before work begins, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. While work progresses, we give you clear, straightforward updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Transparent, Detailed Estimates
Count on upfront, line-by-line estimates that outline labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work begins.
