We obtain 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 every project is one-of-a-kind, our work follows the same basis: strict compliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You receive designs and installations that comply with 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'll find compliant service entrance configurations with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We utilize Article 250 methods, validate electrode continuity, and test impedance to minimize touch voltage during a ground fault. We also guarantee AFCI/GFCI protection where specified, 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 ready-for-inspection compliance reports.
Personal Protective Equipment and Lockout/Tagout Systems
Building 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 validated on a known source before and after testing.
You maintain control of lock keys, establish boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no device is re-energized prematurely. You verify again zero energy state in advance of removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring devices carefully and safely.
Permits & Inspections
In advance of 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 organize work for every inspection, utilizing a detailed 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 up-to-date, remedy red tags without delay, and submit re-inspections only when corrections are verified. Final sign-off corresponds to panel schedules, torque specifications, and test results.
Open Rates and Straightforward Communication
You get an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We outline total cost and scope before work commences, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. While work progresses, we deliver easy-to-understand updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
