• Non-residential building permits rose 14.08%, driven by institutional and government projects, with momentum viewed as uneven across segments.
• Non-residential construction prices increased 3.5% year over year, with sharper gains in London and Quebec City than in British Columbia.
• Labour conditions stabilized, with June construction unemployment at 6.0%, while the job vacancy rate rose to 3.2% from 2.9%.
• Supply chain pressures eased from a spring 2026 peak, though elevated risks persist from trade tensions, geopolitics, tariffs, and energy volatility.
