Business and Tenant Renovation Solutions
Enter the world of commercial and tenant improvements with a team that builds to engineering standards, schedules to your milestones, and keeps operations safe and online. You obtain scoped designs, stamped drawings, and clean installations that connect to base-building systems without interfering with revenue hours.
We specialize in Tenant fit outs, Office rewiring, panel upgrades, and service capacity increases matched to actual load profiles. You'll get carefully coordinated conduit routing, identification protocols, and termination practices that allow for future expansion. We schedule shutdowns, supply temporary power, and manage cutovers to maintain uptime.
Spanning emergency egress lighting, selective coordination, and arc-fault mitigation, we construct stable distribution that complies with equipment requirements and landlord standards. Low-voltage pathways, metering, and surge protection are designed, documented, and verified, ensuring a compliant, maintainable, and scalable electrical infrastructure.
Code Compliance and Safety-First Practices
You expect 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 implement Lockout/Tagout providing zero-energy verification before any work starts. We pull the required permits, coordinate inspections, and provide as-built records to ensure your system read more passes on the first review.
Seattle Codes and National Electrical Code
Although each project is one-of-a-kind, our work follows the same foundation: strict adherence to the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You get designs and installations that satisfy the latest adopted editions, including Seattle's local amendments. We check conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and fault-current ratings, then document specifications for inspection.
You'll see compliant service entrance layouts with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We implement Article 250 methods, confirm electrode continuity, and test impedance to limit touch voltage during a ground fault. We also verify AFCI/GFCI protection where required, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, wiring approaches, and penetrations comply with listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and inspection-compliant compliance reports.
PPE and Lockout/Tagout
Building on compliant design and installation, field work adheres to 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 keep control of keys, set perimeters, and coordinate shift changes so no device is re-energized prematurely. You verify again zero energy state before removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring equipment methodically and safely.
Required Permits and Inspections
In advance of a single conductor gets pulled, permits and inspections establish 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 consult 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 ensure as-builts current, address red tags without delay, and request re-inspections only when corrections are validated. Final sign-off matches panel schedules, torque documentation, and test results.
Clear Costs and Open Communication
You get 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. Throughout the job, we deliver easy-to-understand updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Transparent, Itemized Pricing
Depend on upfront, comprehensive estimates that spell out labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work commences. You obtain a thorough breakdown linked to scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI specifications, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We match each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you understand what's mandated and why.
We use standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for cost transparency. When field conditions differ—buried junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we adjust the estimate for compliance and accuracy, with your approval first. You'll know timelines, access specifications, utility coordination, and shutoff plans. Our documentation clarifies warranty terms, submittals, and disposal methods, ensuring safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.
Transparent Pricing Only
Although scopes evolve during real-world work, our pricing never obscures extras. You receive upfront billing tied to defined tasks, materials, and code-compliant methods, so there are no surprises when we access 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 necessitate a change, we stop, price it, and wait for your authorization.
Our rate structure aligns with NEC-driven standards and safety best practices. You'll receive transparent costs for AFCIs, GFCIs, service-entrance work, or grounding upgrades. We also offer bundle discounts when you group related projects—like panel upgrades with surge protection—lowering total labor mobilizations. Honest numbers, documented assumptions, and fixed pricing protect your schedule, budget, and safety.
Simple-Language Revisions
Transparent pricing requires equally transparent updates. We provide straightforward updates that transform NEC regulations, load calculations, and permit steps into specific actions, timelines, and costs. We highlight scope changes right away, note their code drivers, and document safety impacts so you can authorize with certainty.
We establish project milestones, deliver documented change orders, and capture timestamped progress photographs. You'll see labeled circuits, breaker capacities, GFCI/AFCI installations, and grounding upgrades explained in straightforward language. Should we recommend electrical panel derating or arc-fault safety measures, we break down the risk, the standard, and the price before work proceeds.
You'll also receive community updates on outages, infrastructure inspections, and community programs, plus actionable energy suggestions—such as LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to lower usage while ensuring compliance and safety.
Project Process: From Consultation Through Final Walkthrough
Prior to bringing out any equipment, we begin with a thorough on-site consultation to determine scope, load requirements, code specifications, and safety priorities. We verify service capacity, document circuits, determine grounding/bonding needs, and note access or shutoff procedures. We'll provide you with a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a fixed-scope proposal with specified materials and permit requirements.
Following permit approval, we plan work to minimize outages. We implement lockout/tagout protocols, safeguard finishes, and complete installations according to NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer specs. We identify panels, torque terminations to spec, and test GFCI/AFCI, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once energized, we commission systems, demonstrate operation, and document warranty information and maintenance tasks.
Final inspection validates punch-list closure, inspector sign-off, and post installation support details.
