We also confirm AFCI/GFCI protection where necessary, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, wiring methods, and penetrations adhere to listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and ready-for-inspection compliance reports.
Personal Protective Equipment and LOTO
Building on compliant design and installation, field work follows strict PPE and lockout/tagout controls to keep energized hazards at bay. You locate 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 click here with leather protectors, eye and face shields, EH-rated footwear, and hearing protection. You use insulated tools, barriers, and test instruments confirmed on a known source before and after testing.
You keep control of lock keys, establish boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no machinery is re-energized before clearance. You verify again zero energy state before removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring devices methodically and safely.
Permitting and Inspections
Prior to a single conductor is pulled, permits and inspections define the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You acquire the correct permit scope, verify fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to avoid 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 organize work for every inspection, utilizing 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 keep as-builts accurate, address red tags promptly, and submit re-inspections only when corrections are confirmed. Final sign-off aligns with panel schedules, torque specifications, and test results.
Honest Fees 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 begins, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. While work progresses, we give you plain‑language updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Upfront, Detailed Price Quotes
Rely on upfront, itemized estimates that spell out labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work commences. You are provided with a comprehensive breakdown aligned with 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 necessary and why.
