PPMP Services for BC & Alberta
Engineering and Geoscience Firms

Get Compliant. Stay Compliant. Skip the Headaches.

If you're a Permit Holder under EGBC and/or APEGA, your firm is required to maintain a fully compliant Professional Practice Management Plan (PPMP).

That means:

  • You must have a PPMP in place
  • It must meet current regulatory standards
  • And it must be reviewed and updated every year

Firms that don’t meet these requirements risk failing a compliance audit - or worse, losing their Permit to Practice.

We help you avoid all of that.

At Precision Writing, we specialize in the development, review, and maintenance of PPMPs that not only meet EGBC requirements but also withstand the scrutiny of formal audits.

Our work has been trusted by individual firms, regional authorities, and the federal government, including the authorship of Environment and Climate Change Canada's national PPMP framework.

We bring unmatched expertise, precision, and clarity to a process many find complex or opaque.

Alexandra expertly navigated our RO and RR through some much needed and not so obvious updates to our PPMP.  We were audited shortly thereafter and the experience was very positive.  It feels good to be fully compliant with our regulators permit to practice manual.

Precision Writing Ltd. helped modify my practice's existing PPMP to meet APEGA's requirements. ​They were detailed, organized, and familiar with the nuances of engineering practice. I'd highly recommend their services!

Writing a PPMP is a daunting task, and it is why we hired Alexandra to help us. Alexandra is extremely professional and well organized which helped our organization stay focused on completing our PPMP. She was knowledgeable and could easily answer our questions and give solutions where we couldn’t.

Did you receive non-conformances?

No need to hit the panic button!

Each non-conformance requires its own Corrective Action Plan - and within each CAP you must provide:

  • A root cause statement
  • A root cause analysis (e.g., 5 WHYs)
  • A detailed action plan
  • An implementation responsible person
  • An implementation target completion date

So, if you have multiple non-conformances, this can get time-consuming and overwhelming - but there’s no need to stress! 

Bring on our team of expert writers to get you back on track & fully compliant. We will not only write your CAPs, but also bring your PPMP up to full compliance and train your team on the new procedures.

Not Sure What You Need?

If you're not sure whether your current PPMP is compliant - or even where to start- we’ll walk you through it.

FAQs

Do I really need a PPMP if I have a small team?

Yes. Every permit holder in BC and Alberta - regardless of size - is required to maintain a documented, compliant PPMP.

What happens if I don’t update my PPMP annually?

You risk failing a future audit, even if you’ve passed one in the past. EGBC and/or APEGA expect yearly updates to reflect new standards and guidance.

Can I just use the template provided by the regulator?

You can - but most firms find the templates don’t go far enough. It’s easy to miss key compliance details if you don’t work with the rubrics often.

How soon can we start?

Typically within a few business days. If you have a deadline approaching, let us know - we offer expedited options.
