- Data Visualization: 71-607-X2022013Description: This interactive dashboard provides access to current and historical data for the building construction price indexes, by type of building, for the census metropolitan areas (CMAs) of St. John's, Halifax, Moncton, Montréal, Ottawa-Gatineau (Ontario part), Toronto, Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, as well as a composite of these eleven CMAs, in a dynamic and customizable format. It allows users to view the index series, quarter-over-quarter percent changes, year-over-year percent changes, as well as the largest increases and decreases for the current period. Additionally, users can view the weight of each CMA in the eleven CMA composite measured in percentage.Release date: 2024-07-30
- Data Visualization: 71-607-X2021029Description: The stock and consumption of fixed capital program is an important program that produces estimates of the flow of fixed capital: investment and depreciation, and the stock of fixed capital. Estimates are produced for non-residential and residential assets. The program releases estimates for Canada and the provinces and territories, in constant, current and chained Fisher dollars.Release date: 2023-12-13
- 3. Non-residential Capital Expenditures: 2014 Preliminary Actual Estimates and 2015 Intentions ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-626-X2015048Description:
This article in the Economic Insights series reports on the capital expenditure estimates for 2014 and the expenditure intentions for 2015, released by Statistics Canada on July 6th 2015. The article examines changes in the pace and composition of non-residential capital spending, highlighting key movements in the data for these reference years.
Release date: 2015-07-06 - Articles and reports: 11-626-X2013022Geography: CanadaDescription:
This Economic Insights article reports on the composition of capital expenditures in Canada. It highlights major changes in the distribution of aggregate capital spending over the last decade, as investments in structural assets accelerated in resource-based regions. The article also discusses the new preliminary actual estimates for 2012 and the investment intentions for 2013. It is one of a series of Economic Insights articles designed to facilitate ongoing assessments of the Canadian economy.
Release date: 2013-02-27 - 5. Review of Non-residential Construction in 2005 ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-621-M2006043Geography: Province or territoryDescription:
This report highlights investment in non-residential construction in 2005, focusing on commercial, institutional and industrial components. This study also looks at the regional and provincial dimension.
Release date: 2006-05-23 - 6. Capital Expenditures by Type of Asset ArchivedTable: 61-223-XDescription:
This on-line publication provides detailed capital expenditures by type of asset on both construction and machinery and equipment made by private and public organizations in Canada. For each province and territory and for the 19 divisions of the Canadian economy, it details capital expenditures according to four types of residential construction, 95 types of non-residential construction, and 56 categories of machinery and equipment. Included are data on capital expenditures for major renovation and alteration of construction assets as well as for major retrofit and refurbishing of machinery and equipment assets. Trade and general construction contractors, suppliers of construction materials, and suppliers of machinery and equipment will find these data useful for market analysis.
Release date: 1999-11-04 - Articles and reports: 62F0014M1996002Geography: CanadaDescription:
Price indexes are an essential tool for the analysis of real output in the construction industry and for relative performance and productivity measures. They provide a succinct picture of the past and a useful framework for forecasting future developments. Government requires such price indexes as part of the information used in the development of its policies including support programs to provincial governments. These indexes are also used in construction contracts to adjust for cost fluctuations and inflation. It is however, a difficult task to obtain satisfactory indexes reflecting 'pure' price changes for construction. The units built are nonstandard and heterogeneous with large variations in quality, size, design and construction techniques. Consequently, there are many different types of indexes developed from information recorded in the construction industry.
This paper summarizes the various ways in which construction price indexes can be compiled, and examines and compares the performance of some of the indexes currently produced at Statistics Canada. It is hoped that the comparisons would permit an assessment of the various types of construction indexes examined for specific applications.
Release date: 1997-05-05 - Articles and reports: 62F0014M1996003Geography: CanadaDescription:
Productivity analysis is one of the major foundations of the analysis of long-term economic growth. It is important to study productivity in order to identify the factors that contribute to it and to explore the relationship that exists between productivity, growth and international competitiveness.
Statistics Canada produces partial productivity indexes for some 30 industries and the business sector of the economy on an annual basis. However, little is known about the real output, productivity, and price trends in the construction industry. Four opportunities for productivity research in the construction industry are evident, (a) investigation of the available productivity measures, (b) alternative approaches to the implicit methods currently used in the compilation of output price indexes, (c) estimation of productivity within particular sectors of the construction industry, and (d) comparison of productivity on an interprovincial or international basis.
In this paper we will focus on the first two of the four alternatives and will give examples of the last two. In particular, by formalizing the adjustments that are made to the input factors used in the development of output indexes, we contend that the result will be more impartial and enduring. Generally, our goal is to investigate and promote measures that will be available and attractive to the construction industry as it begins to demand more electronic information. The purpose is to derive, eventually, some new productivity estimates based upon the best available statistics.
