Building permits

Methodology

The value of building permits is an important indicator for the construction industry since the construction process begins with the issuing of a building permit.

The data provided by Statistics Canada is monthly and deseasonalized; this eliminates the impact of seasonal variations and makes it possible to compare data throughout the year.
