About CF Electrical
Eleven years of electrical work

We deliver Electrical Planning Reports, EV Ready Plans, and project management for strata electrification projects across British Columbia — plus Depreciation Reports — with full technical accuracy, written in plain language your council can actually use.
Founder
Who you're dealing with
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, plus Depreciation Reports, for BC strata corporations.
Our difference
Reports written for the people who pay for them
Here is something we kept running into. A strata corporation pays for a technical report out of its own funds — an Electrical Planning Report, a Depreciation Report — and what lands on the council's desk reads as though it were written for another engineer. Dense tables, code citations, and jargon, with little regard for the owners and council members who actually have to read it, budget from it, and explain it to the rest of the building. The report is technically correct and, for the people it was prepared for, close to unusable.
We think that's backwards. The report is your strata's document — paid for from strata funds, filed in your permanent records, and meant to be read by councils, owners, and prospective purchasers. BC's regulations spell out what each report must contain, but not that it has to be readable by the people receiving it. Compliance and clarity are two different things, and most providers stop at the first.
That gap is where we built our practice, and it is our clearest difference in the market. Every report we produce carries full technical accuracy — signed and sealed by the Qualified Person the regulation requires — and is written in plain language a non-technical council can understand and act on. The same engineering rigour underneath; a document you can actually use on top. You should not need an engineering background to govern your own building, and with our reports you won't.
More on this for councils: why EPR quality varies so widely from one provider to the next, and how to read and act on a report that is, in every sense, yours.
Scope
What we do — and how we work
What we do
CF Electrical Services is a strata electrical consulting firm. Three core services: Electrical Planning Reports (mandatory under BC strata law), EV Ready Plans (the route to BC Hydro EV charging rebates), and project management for strata electrification projects — EV charging, heat pumps, and other large retrofits. We also prepare Depreciation Reports (mandatory under BC strata law).
How we work
We're your strata's independent technical planner and project manager. When an electrification project moves ahead, we write the scope, gather comparable quotes from licensed contractors, coordinate the rebates, and manage schedule, budget, and communication on your behalf — one point of contact from planning through completion. Because our only product is the planning and management itself, our recommendations are made on your building's merits alone.
In good company

Credentials & compliance
One engagement covers any strata in BC
BC strata law sets out who can prepare each report and which credentials apply by building type — the full list is in the credentials card below. What matters to a council is the outcome: a single CF Electrical Services engagement covers any strata in BC. We sign and seal each report with the credential the regulation calls for, so councils don't need to verify scope or seek different providers for different buildings.
How we work
End-to-end, on the dates we commit to
We own the process end-to-end. BC Hydro consumption-data requests, EV charging assessments, and a plain-language council presentation whenever you want one — the heavy lifting is on us. Pricing is fixed-price by proposal, not hourly. Reports are delivered on the dates we commit to.
That's the focus: reports that hold up. No surprises.
