You use insulated tools, barriers, and test instruments verified on a known source before and after testing.
You retain control of lock keys, establish boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no equipment is re-energized prematurely. You confirm again zero energy state in advance of removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring equipment systematically and securely.
Licensing and Inspections
Prior to a single conductor gets pulled, permits and inspections define the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You secure the right permit scope, verify fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to avoid 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 prepare work for each inspection, employing a precise inspection checklist: rough-in box calculations, staple interval requirements, conductor derating, conduit support specifications, working clearance standards, service disconnect marking, bonding jumper connections, and arc-fault/GFCI protection checks. You maintain as-builts current, remedy red tags immediately, and submit re-inspections only when corrections are validated. Final sign-off corresponds to panel schedules, torque records, and test results.
Open Rates and Direct Communication
You receive an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We state the complete scope and total cost before work starts, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. While work progresses, we provide plain‑language updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Transparent, Itemized Pricing
Count on upfront, line-by-line estimates that clarify labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work kicks off.
