Value of Building Permits Slumped 2.1% in August

The total value of Canadian building permits was down 2.1% in August, as residential permits continued to descend from their March highs.

Construction intentions across Canada fell to $9.7 billion in August, as both Ontario and British Columbia reported notable declines despite the remainder of provinces posting increases.

The residential sector saw the value of permits slump 8.3% to $6.4 billion in August, marking the lowest level since March, with Ontario and British Columbia contributing the most to the decrease. Building intentions for multi-family units were also down during the month, falling 15.9%, while the value of single-family construction permits jumped 15.7%, largely led by significant gains in Quebec.

In the meantime, non-residential building permits were 12.3% higher compared to July, and stood at $3.3 billion. Commercial intentions rose 14.9% across the country, largely due to strong growth in Ontario. The value of institutional building permits were also up in August, increasing 21.9%, as a $116 million permit was issued in Quebec for the construction of a hospital building. Development intentions in the industrial sector fell 7.3% to $543 million with Nova Scotia reporting the most significant decline.
