What we do
CF Electrical Services is a strata electrical consulting firm. We do not perform installation work. We produce three reports that BC strata corporations need:
- Electrical Planning Reports (EPR) — mandatory under BC strata law. Deadline December 31, 2026 (Metro Vancouver / Fraser Valley / CRD) or December 31, 2028 (rest of BC).
- EV Ready Plans (EVRP) — the formal route to BC Hydro's plan rebate (up to 75% of the plan's cost, to a $3,000 maximum) and the prerequisite for the program's later installation rebates. From July 15, 2026, also required to access standalone EV charger rebates.
- Depreciation Reports — mandatory under BC strata law. Deadline July 1, 2026 (Metro Vancouver / Fraser Valley / CRD) or July 1, 2027 (rest of BC).
Strata electrical compliance in British Columbia
For a strata corporation, "strata electrical" comes down to the electrical-planning and compliance obligations the Strata Property Act and BC Hydro's rebate programs place on every corporation of five or more strata lots. There are three deliverables — two mandatory, one that unlocks EV-charging funding — and CF Electrical Services prepares all three:
- An Electrical Planning Report (EPR) is mandatory for every strata corporation of five or more lots — due December 31, 2026 in Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley, and the Capital Regional District, and December 31, 2028 in the rest of British Columbia.
- A Depreciation Report is likewise mandatory under the Strata Property Act — due July 1, 2026 (Metro Vancouver / Fraser Valley / CRD) or July 1, 2027 (rest of BC), then on a five-year cycle.
- An EV Ready Plan (EVRP) is voluntary, but it is the formal route to BC Hydro's plan rebate — up to 75% of the plan's cost, to a $3,000 maximum — and, from July 15, 2026, a prerequisite for accessing standalone EV charger rebates.
Both statutory deadlines are set by the strata's regional district, not its city, and each report must be signed and sealed by the Qualified Person the regulation names for the building type. Because CF is consulting-only and covers every BC strata building type, a single engagement handles a strata's whole electrical-compliance picture. For the regulatory detail, see who can sign and seal a BC strata EPR and our resources page of official BC sources, or find the deadlines for your building on the regions we serve.
Who signs and seals these reports
BC strata law sets out who can prepare and seal each report by building type: a Professional Engineer (P.Eng), Professional Licensee Engineering (P.L.Eng.), Applied Science Technologist (AScT), or Certified Technician for Part 3 (complex) buildings, or a Journeyperson Electrician for Part 9 (simple) building EPRs. CF Electrical Services covers every BC strata building type — concrete highrises and mid-rises through wood-frame walk-ups and townhouse complexes — and signs and seals each report with the credential the regulation calls for. A single CF Electrical Services engagement covers any strata in BC; councils don't need to verify scope or seek different providers for different buildings.
How we work
We own the process end-to-end. BC Hydro consumption-data requests, municipal drawing retrievals, EV-charging assessments, council presentations — every step is on us. The strata council does not chase paperwork.
Pricing is fixed-price by proposal, not hourly. We deliver to the date we commit to. Reports that hold up. No surprises.
