Code Compliance and Safety-First Practices
You require 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 enforce Lockout/Tagout to ensure zero-energy verification before any work starts. We obtain the required permits, coordinate inspections, and provide as-built records to confirm your system passes on the first review.
National Electrical Code and Seattle Codes
Though every project is one-of-a-kind, our work maintains the same fundamental approach: strict adherence to the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You obtain designs and installations that comply with the latest adopted editions, including Seattle's local amendments. We confirm conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and fault-current ratings, then document calculations for inspection.
You will see compliant service entrance arrangements with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We employ Article 250 procedures, confirm electrode continuity, and test impedance to restrict touch voltage during a ground fault. We also verify AFCI/GFCI protection where necessary, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, wiring procedures, and penetrations follow listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and code-compliant compliance reports.
Personal Protective Equipment and Lockout/Tagout
Based on 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 validated on a known source before and after testing.
You keep control of lock keys, post boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no machinery is re-energized before clearance. You confirm again zero energy state prior to removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring machinery systematically and securely.
Permitting and 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, confirm fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to prevent idle crews and rushed work. You review 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 maintain as-builts current, 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.
Clear Rates and Open Communication
You receive an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We outline the complete scope and total cost before work starts, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons.
