Free tools for BC strata councils

Two short tools and a guide that answer the questions councils ask first: when your Electrical Planning Report is due and what it must contain, how the price of a report is set and how to compare quotes, and what the EV Ready Plan rebate offers your building. Each one answers on the page; no email is needed.

01

EPR Deadline & Requirement Checker

Answer a few questions about your strata and see, on the page, the Electrical Planning Report deadline that applies to it, who may prepare the report, what the report must contain and which utility administers the EV Ready Plan rebate for your building.

For: Councils and managers who want to know what the Strata Property Act requires of their strata, and by when.

About CF Electrical Services

From the job site to the planning desk

Chris Farrar started in the electrical trade and spent years doing installation and service work. Over that time he noticed that strata managers were constantly struggling with electrical planning. They needed reports and they needed expertise, but they did not need another vendor adding to their workload.

That is what led to CF Electrical Services: a team that handles the complexity, delivers accurate work, and makes it easy for the people managing these buildings.

"Strata councils need information they can use to set guidelines and budgets, and the confidence that their decisions are backed by evidence from their own infrastructure. CF Electrical Services exists as a bridge between that technical complexity and the day-to-day decisions of diligent strata council volunteers."

"Our Strata, a small townhouse complex in East Vancouver, had a great experience with CF Electrical. They prepared a helpful Electrical Planning report at a very reasonable price. The entire process was straightforward and seamless. We would highly recommend."
Garden Drive StrataStrata Corporation, Vancouver, BCGoogle review
"We selected CF Electrical from three providers due to their excellent communication. They answered (and anticipated) all our questions before we'd even heard back with a quote from the third potential provider. They completed an EPR quickly and comprehensively, at a fair price. [...] The more we learned about CF Electrical and its founder, the more we appreciated their approach. Highly recommended!"
