Engage with commercial and tenant improvements with a team that builds to engineering standards, schedules to your milestones, and maintains operational continuity. You get comprehensive project designs, stamped drawings, and professional installations that work with base-building systems without interrupting revenue hours.

We provide tenant fit-outs, office electrical rewiring, electrical panel upgrades, and service capacity increases calibrated to actual load profiles. You'll get coordinated conduit routing, labeling standards, and termination practices that allow for future expansion. We coordinate shutdowns, deliver temporary power, and orchestrate cutovers to preserve uptime.

From emergency egress lighting to selective coordination and arc-fault mitigation, we develop reliable distribution that meets equipment specifications and landlord requirements. Low-voltage pathways, metering, and surge protection are planned, documented, and tested, delivering a compliant, maintainable, and scalable electrical system.

Safety-Focused Practices and Code Compliance

We deliver 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 maintain Lockout/Tagout to ensure zero-energy verification before any work starts. We secure the required permits, coordinate inspections, and provide as-built records to ensure your system passes on the first review.

National Electrical Code and Seattle Codes

While each project is one-of-a-kind, our work is built on the same foundation: strict alignment with 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 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 approaches, check electrode continuity, and test impedance to restrict touch voltage during a ground fault. We also verify AFCI/GFCI protection where specified, 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 ready-for-inspection compliance reports.

Personal Protective Equipment and Lockout/Tagout

Based on compliant design and installation, field work maintains strict PPE and lockout/tagout controls to keep energized hazards at bay. You identify 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 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 device is re-energized before clearance. You re-verify zero energy state before removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring devices carefully and safely.

Required Permits and Inspections

Prior to a single conductor is pulled, permits and inspections set the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You secure the right permit scope, validate fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to avoid 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: 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 keep as-builts accurate, remedy red tags without delay, and submit re-inspections only when corrections are verified. Final sign-off matches panel schedules, torque documentation, and test results.

Straightforward Fees and Transparent Communication

You receive an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We state scope and total cost before work starts, 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, Detailed Price Quotes

Count on upfront, detailed estimates that detail labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work commences. You obtain a thorough breakdown aligned with 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. If field conditions vary—buried junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we update the estimate for accuracy and compliance, with your approval first. You'll understand timelines, access needs, utility coordination, and shutoff plans. Our documentation details warranty terms, submittals, and disposal methods, guaranteeing safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.

No Hidden Fees

Though scopes evolve during real-world work, our pricing never more info conceals extras. You obtain upfront billing tied to defined tasks, materials, and code-compliant methods, so no hidden charges emerge when we examine a panel or trace a circuit. We offer a flat rate for each approved scope segment, calculated from labor hours, parts specifications, and required permits. If conditions necessitate a change, we pause, price it, and obtain your authorization.

Our rate structure aligns with NEC-driven standards and safety best practices. We provide detailed costs for grounding enhancements, service-entrance installations, GFCIs, or AFCIs. We also offer bundle discounts when you combine related jobs—like panel upgrades with surge protection—decreasing total labor mobilizations. Transparent math, documented assumptions, and set pricing protect your safety, budget, and schedule.

Simple-Language Updates

Straightforward pricing demands equally straightforward updates. You'll get plain-language briefings that translate NEC standards, load calculations, and permit processes into tangible 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 set clear milestones, supply written modification orders, and document progress with timestamped photos. You'll see labeled circuits, breaker capacities, GFCI/AFCI installations, and grounding upgrades described in easy-to-understand terms. Should we recommend electrical panel derating or arc-fault safety measures, we'll explain the potential hazard, relevant standard, and pricing before we proceed with the work.

You'll also receive community updates on power outages, facility inspections, and municipal programs, plus helpful energy recommendations—including LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to minimize usage while upholding compliance and safety.

Project Process: From Consultation Through Final Walkthrough

Prior to bringing out any equipment, we start with a thorough on-site consultation to define scope, load requirements, code specifications, and safety priorities. We validate service capacity, document circuits, identify grounding/bonding needs, and document access or shutoff procedures. You will get a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a detailed scope proposal with itemized materials and permit requirements.

Upon permit approval, we plan work to reduce outages. We perform lockout/tagout procedures, safeguard finishes, and perform installations according to NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer specs. We label panels, torque terminations to spec, and test GFCI/AFCI, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once activated, we commission systems, show operation, and document warranties and maintenance tasks.

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