Duties of a professional engineer, an applied science technologist or a journey person electrician.

Hi, we're a 14 unit strata in BC. New regulations call for us to have An ‘Electrical Planning Report' done by the end of 2026". It apparently is to give a factual basis to proceed with EV charging infrastructure installations.
My concern is that our electrical shed is in poor condition, and certainly not up to code, fiber optic cable installers apparently characterised it as a disaster several years ago.
Will the qualified professional who must be retained to write the report flag the building as a hazard, and if that's done what would happen next?

get the report done as early as possible as it will give you the most amount of time to make a plan to fix anything that needs urgent attention before providing the report to anyone else.

Thanks James, good advice. So whoever we get to write the report will give it to us, and their responsibility will end with a recommendation to fix, if they see it as necessary?

Thanks James,
So whoever writes the report will give it to us, and their duty will end, as long as they note deficiencies that need correction?

That would be the case in the U.K. but not sure in your country
