Preventative Inspections

Annual breaker testing, thermal imaging, emergency lighting battery checks, and load assessments. Identify issues before they become expensive failures or insurance claims.

BC Strata Property Act

Electrical Repairs & Troubleshooting

Unit-level repairs, wiring issues, circuit faults, and common-area troubleshooting. We coordinate access with tenants and building managers to minimize disruption.

How We Work Together

A Process Built Around Your Building

Strata and property work isn't the same as a one-off residential job. Every step fits the way your building operates — including your approval process.

1

Free Site Assessment

We walk the building with you or your property manager at no charge. We review panel capacity, common-area systems, and any issues flagged by council or residents.

  • Panel and subpanel condition review
  • Common area lighting and emergency system walkthrough
  • EV readiness assessment if required
  • Photo documentation of all items noted
2

Written Proposal — Council-Ready

You receive a clear, itemized written quote formatted to go directly to a strata council or property management company for approval — no translation required.

  • Scope described in plain language, not trade jargon
  • Line-item pricing — no lump sums
  • Optional phases for budget-year planning
  • Ready to attach to a council meeting agenda
3

Coordinated, Low-Disruption Work

We schedule around your building's operations. Common areas are done off-peak where possible. Residents and building managers are informed throughout.

  • Work scheduled with building manager approval
  • Off-hours available for lobbies and high-traffic areas
  • Site left clean — every time
  • Progress updates throughout the job
4

Documentation Handoff

After every job, you receive a complete package — not just an invoice.

  • TSBC permits and inspection records
  • Written report of work completed and systems checked
  • Deficiencies noted with recommended actions and timelines
  • Certificates of insurance on request
Why Gubond

What Makes Us Different

Most electricians can replace a light or reset a breaker. Here's why strata councils and property managers keep calling us back.

FSR Class B — The Commercial Licence

FSR Class B authorizes us to supervise and certify electrical work in strata common areas and commercial buildings — not just residential units. Most electricians don't hold this.

In practice: fewer inspection bottlenecks, documentation that satisfies TSBC for commercial work, and no ambiguity about whether our certification covers your building type.

Quotes Your Council Can Actually Use

We've seen strata councils send back quotes that needed re-explaining. Ours go in itemized, scoped in plain language, and ready to attach to a meeting agenda — so the approval process moves, not stalls.

Occupied Buildings Are Different — We Act Like It

We coordinate access and timing with your building manager. Lobby work happens off-peak. Residents aren't surprised. Job sites are left clean. You shouldn't have to manage your electrician.

Every Job Has a Paper Trail

TSBC permits, inspection records, written job reports, and deficiency notes — all filed with your strata records after every visit. Useful at insurance renewal, useful at your next AGM, useful when things change years later.

FAQ

Questions from Property Managers & Strata Councils

An EPR is a document that outlines your strata building's current electrical capacity, existing loads, estimated peak demand, available spare capacity, and projected future needs — particularly for EV charging and heat pumps.

BC regulations require strata corporations with 5 or more strata lots to obtain an EPR before adding significant electrical loads. The EPR must be prepared by or under the supervision of a licensed professional and filed with your strata records.

We help coordinate EPR requirements, work alongside licensed engineers where needed, and plan EV infrastructure that satisfies EPR recommendations — so your strata stays ahead of upcoming bylaw changes.

A Field Safety Representative (FSR) Class B licence is issued by Technical Safety BC and authorizes the holder to supervise and certify electrical work in commercial and strata properties — not just residential.

In practical terms, this means:

  • We can certify common-area and commercial electrical work without requiring a separate inspector visit for most permit types
  • Our documentation carries the certification required for TSBC records
  • We're qualified to assess and sign off on the kinds of systems found in multi-family and commercial buildings

Many electricians hold only residential certification. If your property is a strata complex, mixed-use building, or commercial property, FSR Class B is the appropriate credential to look for.

Yes. Strata EV charger projects involve more planning than a residential install — load calculations, EPR review, stall assignments, load-sharing technology, and the approval process all need to be considered.

Our typical process for strata EV projects:

  • Load assessment — calculate available capacity across the building's electrical service
  • EPR review or coordination — confirm the project is aligned with or triggers EPR requirements
  • System design — select a load-sharing solution that allows more stalls without requiring a full service upgrade
  • Council proposal — provide a written, itemized quote formatted for council approval
  • Permitted installation — install to BC Electrical Code, obtain TSBC inspection, provide complete documentation

We can also phase the project to match your annual budget cycle — starting with a portion of stalls and expanding over time.

Annual inspections are recommended for common-area panels, breakers, and emergency lighting battery systems. Buildings with older electrical infrastructure or high electrical loads — such as heat pumps, commercial kitchens, or large parkades — may benefit from semi-annual checks.

A typical annual maintenance visit covers:

  • Main panel and subpanel breaker inspection and testing
  • Thermal imaging of panel connections (identifies overheating before failures occur)
  • Emergency lighting and exit sign battery testing
  • Common-area lighting inspection and lamp replacement
  • Electrical vault cleaning and inspection

After each visit you receive a written report noting what was inspected, what was found, and any recommended follow-up — suitable for inclusion in your strata records.

Every job comes with a documentation package that includes:

  • TSBC electrical permit (where applicable)
  • Inspection record issued by Technical Safety BC
  • Written job report — work completed, systems checked, any deficiencies noted
  • Recommendations for follow-up with suggested timelines
  • Certificates of insurance on request

This documentation is structured to go directly into your strata records and is suitable for presenting to your insurer or including in depreciation report schedules.

Yes. Property managers and strata councils can reach us directly for urgent building issues — common-area power failures, tripped building panels, failed emergency lighting, or other issues that can't wait.

Contact us at 778-302-7060 (text or call) for emergency situations. We serve Greater Vancouver including Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey, Delta, Coquitlam, Port Moody, North Vancouver, and surrounding areas.

Yes. BC's Strata Property Act requires most strata corporations to maintain a depreciation report covering the condition and remaining lifespan of common property components — including electrical systems.

We provide:

  • Detailed inspection of common-area electrical systems
  • Condition assessment and estimated remaining service life
  • Written findings formatted for inclusion in your depreciation report
  • Recommendations for capital replacement planning

The depreciation report itself is typically prepared by a specialist firm — we provide the technical electrical input that their report requires.

Yes. We're set up for ongoing working relationships with property management companies managing multiple buildings. This includes:

  • Consistent point of contact for all your properties
  • Streamlined service request and invoicing process
  • Preferred scheduling for maintenance contract clients
  • Reporting structured to match your company's record-keeping requirements

If you manage a portfolio of strata or commercial properties in Greater Vancouver, contact us to discuss an ongoing maintenance arrangement.
