1–2: Gather and assess
Collect panel schedules, reports, permits, service calls and known complaints. Review accessible condition, equipment support, present loads and recurring failures.
3: Define future demand
List realistic EV charging, heating, cooling, ventilation, amenity and renovation plans. Consider how one project may consume capacity needed by another.
4–5: Prioritize and maintain the plan
Group work into immediate, near-term and longer-term decisions. Record dependencies, professional input, access, estimated budgets and the date assumptions must be revisited.
Practical takeaway: An Electrical Planning Report can support this work for strata properties, but the broader capital plan still needs governance, funding and implementation decisions.
Frequently asked questions
Questions property decision-makers ask
Is a capital plan the same as an estimate?
No. It organizes priorities and dependencies; defined projects still need current scopes and pricing.
Should EV charging be planned separately?
It should have a focused implementation plan while remaining connected to whole-building capacity and other future loads.
