There were $235 million in building permits issued in Saskatchewan in November 2013, up 16.7 per cent from last November. Saskatchewan had the third highest percentage increase amongst the provinces.“The rise in building permits on an annual basis for the month of November was good news for construction companies and the workers they employ,” Energy and Resources Minister Tim McMillan said.
Non-residential permits were up 128.4 per cent on a year-over-year basis.
“Many Saskatchewan cities are reporting record or close to record building permits in 2013,” McMillan said. “Growth at this level is important to keep the economic momentum moving forward which will make 2014 another great year.”
