Permits & Inspections
Before a single conductor is pulled, permits and inspections define the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You acquire the correct 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 organize work for every inspection, utilizing a thorough 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 keep as-builts up-to-date, address red tags without delay, and request re-inspections only when corrections are validated. Final sign-off corresponds to panel schedules, torque specifications, and test results.
