01
Site and capacity assessment
Review service and distribution, available records, major loads, access, visible condition, and the constraints most likely to affect the project.
01 / Assess & Plan
Know what the site can support before you commit.
Electrical assessments that turn capacity, condition, future loads, and operational constraints into a clear decision and a useful next scope.

Planning outputs
Right-sized to the decision in front of you.
The deliverable can be a concise assessment, a phased plan, or a contractor-ready scope. The format follows the question—not a template for its own sake.
02
Electrification and load planning
Coordinate EV charging, heat pumps, electric hot water, equipment, and other future loads without treating each addition in isolation.
03
Deficiency and risk reporting
Document visible concerns, access limitations, priority, budget implications, and the follow-up needed to confirm or correct each issue.
04
Phased, contractor-ready scope
Define assumptions, exclusions, sequencing, decision gates, and coordination notes that can support budgeting or the next quote.
Good starting points
When the electrical path is not obvious.
A planning step is most useful when several systems, decisions, or constraints overlap.
A
Adding major loads
Equipment, EV charging, heat pumps, tenant improvements, or other loads need to fit the existing service and distribution.
B
Staging capital work
The property needs a defensible sequence that protects near-term work from becoming future rework.
C
Comparing proposals
Different vendors are using different assumptions, exclusions, products, or definitions of the same problem.
D
Understanding deficiencies
Owners need a prioritized, plain-language record before approving repairs or setting a budget.
E
Occupied-site constraints
Access, downtime, tenant needs, or operating hours must be designed into the scope from the beginning.
F
Unusual system interaction
Controls, pumps, generation, batteries, or remote-power conditions make a standard one-product answer unreliable.
Supporting capability
Complex systems stay inside a focused planning brief.
These technologies are not marketed as separate catalogues. They are considered when they affect capacity, reliability, sequence, or the right project architecture.
01 / Renewable and backup
Solar, batteries, generators, and off-grid power
Clarify critical loads, usage, seasonality, autonomy expectations, system tradeoffs, and what should be requested from a designer or vendor before procurement.
02 / Equipment and control
Pumps, VFDs, controls, and commissioning questions
Trace where electrical, mechanical, and control-system requirements meet so the scope identifies the correct failure point, interface, or specialist handoff.
Assessment sequence
Collect what exists. Confirm what matters. Define what follows.
Set the question
Confirm the decision, timing, property type, planned loads, and available records or photos.
Test the assumptions
Review documents and site conditions, identify gaps, and compare practical options where more than one path exists.
Issue the next scope
Provide findings, limits, priorities, and a handoff suitable for budgeting, detailed design, or planned contracting.
Clear boundaries
Planning is not a substitute for every downstream step.
- Regulated strata reports are separate. Electrical Planning Reports and EV Ready Plans have defined requirements and are covered on the Strata & EV page.
- Detailed design may follow. Engineering, utility studies, equipment selection, permit drawings, or specialized design are scoped separately when required.
- Findings reflect available inputs. Visual assessments document access and visibility limits; they are not Authority Having Jurisdiction inspections.
- Installation is a separate decision. Crux can carry suitable Greater Victoria projects into contracting after scope and fit are confirmed.
