Electrical Planning Report · Bare land stratas
Electrical planning for bare land stratas
Your lots are land, not parts of a building, so the corporation’s electrical responsibility is the shared servicing: street and site lighting, pump stations, a gatehouse or clubhouse, shared parking. The report is scoped to exactly that.
Is it required for a bare land strata?
Yes. The Strata Property Act requires it of every strata of five or more lots. Where every home has its own meter and nothing the strata owns feeds a home, the short-form report usually applies. Due December 31, 2026 in Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley and the Capital Region; December 31, 2028 elsewhere.Check your strata plan number →

What is your bare land strata trying to get done?
Pick the goal that sounds like your council's conversation — we'll point you at the service that answers it, and what it means for a bare land building.
Electrical Planning Report
Every BC strata corporation of five or more lots must obtain an Electrical Planning Report — an assessment of the building's electrical capacity and what future electrification will need from it.
For a bare land strata
The report is scoped to what the corporation owns in common. Where every home has its own meter and nothing the strata owns feeds a home, the short-form report usually applies.

Project Management
Heat pumps, EV charger rollouts, service upgrades — implementing a large electrification project means scope documents, comparable quotes, rebate paperwork, and months of coordination. We manage the project on the strata's behalf — one point of contact from planning through completion.
For a bare land strata
Shared-servicing upgrades and build-out projects in a bare land strata benefit from the same managed approach: a defined scope, comparable quotes, and clear owner communication.
Most managed projects start from an Electrical Planning Report or EV Ready Plan.Start with the report →

Before you request a proposal
What an assessment looks like in a bare land strata
Here is what the work involves for a bare land building, how we run it from first email to council presentation, and what your council ends up holding — so you can judge the fit before sending us anything.
On site
What our technician looks at
In a bare land strata the visit focuses on the accessible electrical equipment the corporation owns in common: the site’s electrical servicing and any common distribution, street and site lighting, gatehouses, pump stations, clubhouses or other amenity buildings, and shared parking. The individual lots and the homes on them belong to the owners.
In the analysis
What the report models
The report is scoped to the shared infrastructure. Where the corporation has a common service, twelve months of metered consumption data establish the demand on it, and the report sets out future electrification scenarios and upgrade recommendations for those shared assets. Where every home has its own meter and nothing the strata owns feeds a home, the short-form report applies.
At the council table
What councils usually decide
Bare land councils usually want to know whether the short-form report applies to them and what the shared assets can support as owners electrify their own homes.
