Strata electrical reports usually arrive as a single document: a PDF filed in the strata's records. The PDF is exactly what the strata's permanent records need — but a dense technical document is not always the easiest way for a non-technical council or owner to work with the information inside.
LivingEPR™ is our answer. Beside the PDF the council keeps on file, a LivingEPR is our interactive Living Report: a web version of the same report that every owner can open in a browser.
What a LivingEPR is
A LivingEPR is your report, on the web. Instead of scrolling a static document, owners and council members open a link and move through the findings — the building's electrical capacity, the demand on it, the constraints, and the recommended upgrades — laid out in plain terms, section by section. The technical content underneath is identical to the PDF; the difference is that anyone on the council can navigate it, understand it, and explain it to the rest of the building without a technical background.
Why it matters to a council
A strata pays for these reports out of its own funds and has to act on them — budget from them, vote on them, and explain them to owners. BC's regulations spell out what a report must contain, but not that it has to be readable by the people receiving it — and that gap decides how useful a report is to the council that receives it. We wrote about it separately in why EPR quality varies so widely. The LivingEPR is the practical expression of the same principle: full technical accuracy, delivered in a form a non-technical council can actually use.
Alongside the PDF, not instead of it
A LivingEPR can accompany an Electrical Planning Report and an EV Ready Plan alike, whatever the size of the building. The council always keeps the PDF for its permanent records and for disclosure to buyers, lenders, and insurers; the LivingEPR is delivered alongside it, for the owners and council members who have to live with the decisions.
Why we deliver reports this way
We would rather be chosen for what the report does once it is in your council's hands than for anything else. A report you can read, navigate, and act on is a report that gets used — for budgeting, for owner meetings, and for the decisions that follow. It is the same standard behind every CF report: technical accuracy your council can actually use.
