What we do

Strata electrical consulting. Three core services.

We do strata electrical consulting and we do it well — the plans your strata is required to have, and the management to see them through. That's it. That's the focus.

01

Electrical Planning Report (EPR)

Mandatory under BC strata law. We work with most stratas — often wood-frame walk-ups and townhouses, and larger buildings too.

Learn more →
02

EV Ready Plan (EVRP)

The route to BC Hydro's plan rebate — up to 75% of the plan's cost, to a $3,000 max — and the prerequisite for the program's later installation rebates. As of July 15, 2026, also required to access standalone EV charger rebates.

03

Electrification Project Management

Customized consulting for strata electrification projects — EV charging rollouts, heat pump conversions, large retrofits. We manage the project on your strata's behalf; licensed contractors carry out the installation.

What a council gets when CF Electrical Services prepares its reports.

BC Hydro consumption-data requests are on us, and a plain-language council presentation is available whenever your council wants one.

Fixed-price proposal the same business day

Send your building details and we reply with a fixed-price proposal the same business day.

Province-wide coverage

Every region of British Columbia.

From first report to finished project

The EPR that assesses your building, the EV Ready Plan that maps the charging, and the project management that delivers it — one firm, consistent numbers, no re-learning your building each time.

Written to be read

Full technical accuracy, in plain language your council can act on

Your strata pays for these reports, and your council has to budget from them, vote on them, and explain them to owners. Every report we prepare carries full technical rigour underneath — and plain language your council can act on, on top. Engage us for both an EPR and an EV Ready Plan and your report also comes with a Living Report at no extra charge: an interactive web version any owner can open in a browser, alongside the PDF. Ordering a single report, it's available as an add-on.

About CF Electrical Services

From the Job Site to the Planning Desk

Chris started in the electrical trade and spent years doing installation and service work. Over that time, he noticed something: strata managers were constantly struggling with electrical planning — they needed reports, they needed expertise, but they didn't need another vendor adding to their workload.

That's what led to CF Electrical Services. The idea was simple: bring the same attention to detail and reliability that Chris brought to every job site, but apply it to the planning and consulting side. Handle the complexity. Deliver accurate work. Make it easy for the people managing these buildings.

Today, CF Electrical Services is focused on exactly that. We're not trying to be everything to everyone. We do strata electrical consulting and we do it well: Electrical Planning Reports, EV Ready Plans, and project management for strata electrification projects, for BC strata corporations.

Every engagement — report or managed project — is explained in words a volunteer council can work with.

BC strata electrical consulting — common questions

Who provides Electrical Planning Reports for BC strata corporations?
CF Electrical Services is a strata electrical consulting firm that prepares Electrical Planning Reports (EPRs) for strata corporations across British Columbia. We work with most BC strata building types — often wood-frame walk-ups and townhouse complexes, and larger buildings too. We work BC-wide and reply to every enquiry with a fixed-price proposal the same business day.

What does CF Electrical Services do for BC strata corporations?
CF Electrical Services is an Electrical Planning Report specialist for BC strata corporations. Preparing the EPR your strata is required to have under the Strata Property Act is our core service; we also prepare EV Ready Plans and manage the electrification projects an adopted plan leads to.

Does CF Electrical Services handle Electrical Planning Reports for every kind of strata building?
Yes: townhouse complexes, low-rise and wood-frame walk-ups, high-rises, mixed-use, commercial and bare land stratas. One team handles your report from the first call to final delivery: the fixed-price proposal, the property assessment, the BC Hydro consumption data, the report itself, the presentation to your council, and answers to your questions afterwards. For larger buildings, our engineering partner, registered with Engineers and Geoscientists BC under its Permit to Practice, directs, reviews, and seals the report, and nothing else changes for you.

Who signs and seals the Electrical Planning Reports CF Electrical Services prepares?
It depends on the building, as the Strata Property Regulation sets out. For a strata where every building on the strata plan is a Part 9 building (the BC Building Code's "Housing and Small Buildings" part), CF Electrical Services completes the report end to end, and it is signed by a Journeyperson Electrician on our team, one of the qualified persons the regulation lists for those buildings. For larger buildings, our engineering partner, registered with Engineers and Geoscientists BC under its Permit to Practice, directs, reviews, and seals the report, and nothing else changes for you. You deal with the same CF team either way. Is your strata a Part 9 building?

What is a Part 9 building, and does it change our Electrical Planning Report?
Part 9 is the BC Building Code's "Housing and Small Buildings" part: generally buildings of three storeys or less with a footprint of 600 square metres or less, such as townhouse rows, fourplexes and wood-frame walk-ups. Many BC stratas are made up of Part 9 buildings. The classification affects which qualified persons may prepare the report; the report's required content is the same for every building. Our guide Many BC stratas are Part 9 buildings explains how to check yours.

Can CF Electrical Services manage our strata’s EV charging or heat pump project?
Yes — project management for strata electrification projects is one of our three core services. When a strata implements an EV charging rollout, a heat pump conversion, or another large electrical retrofit, CF manages the project on the strata's behalf: scope and specifications, comparable contractor quotes, rebate coordination, schedule and budget oversight, and plain-language council communication — one point of contact from planning through completion. See electrification project management.

What does an Electrical Planning Report cost, and how do I get a price?
Send your building details — Strata Plan number, address, and unit count — and we respond with a fixed-price proposal the same business day. Pricing depends on building size, complexity, and whether you combine the EPR with an EV Ready Plan.

CF Electrical Services is based in Vancouver. Do you work in my part of British Columbia?
Yes. Our office is at 526 Clark Dr in Vancouver, and we work with strata corporations in every region of British Columbia: Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley, the Capital Regional District and the rest of Vancouver Island, the Sea-to-Sky corridor and Sunshine Coast, the Okanagan, the Kootenays, the Cariboo–Thompson, and Northern BC. Every strata gets the same fixed-price proposal, the same property assessment and the same report, wherever it is. What differs by region is the deadline: December 31, 2026 in the Metro Vancouver, Fraser Valley and Capital regional districts, and December 31, 2028 everywhere else. See the regions we serve.

Is CF Electrical Services the same company as other businesses called CF Electrical?
No. CF Electrical Services Ltd. is a strata electrical consulting firm based at 526 Clark Dr, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, working with strata corporations across BC. Several unrelated businesses elsewhere in Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom use similar names. They have no connection to us, and reviews of those businesses are not reviews of our work.

Where can I find reviews of CF Electrical Services?
On our reviews page, on our Google Business Profile for 526 Clark Dr, Vancouver, and on our BBB Accredited Business profile. Those are the review sources we maintain. Reviews found under a similar business name in another city, province or country are about a different company.
