You use insulated tools, barriers, and test instruments verified on a known source before and after testing.
You maintain control of access keys, set perimeters, and coordinate shift changes so no machinery is re-energized prematurely. You confirm again zero energy state before removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring equipment methodically and safely.
Permits Plus Inspections
In advance of a single conductor is pulled, permits and inspections define the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You secure the right 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: 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 ensure as-builts accurate, remedy red tags immediately, and initiate re-inspections only when corrections are confirmed. Final sign-off corresponds to panel schedules, torque specifications, and test results.
Transparent Costs and Clear Communication
You receive an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We specify scope and total cost before work commences, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. Throughout the job, we provide plain‑language updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Upfront, Itemized Estimates
Rely on upfront, detailed estimates that spell out 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 tie each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you know what's required and why.
We employ standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for cost transparency.
