2013 Construction Activity Annual Report
The following is the 2013 year-end summary report for Building Permits (BP) issued and overall construction activity that took place in Burlington during the past calendar year. Last year, Burlington had a busy year in terms of overall construction activity and associated construction value for building permits. On the application side, we received 1819 BP applications, which is above the 5 year average of 1700. Building permits were primarily driven by commercial renovation activity. On the issuance side, 1926 permits were issued; well above the 5 year average of 1669. The combined residential housing construction sector witnessed a decrease in construction value compared to 2012. There was a significant decrease in the apartment/condominium sector mainly due to a delay at the pre-permit stage, while the single detached dwelling (SD) and townhouses were slightly lower than 2012. A few high rise developments are still within the Development Application Approval Process (DAAP) and are expected to be in the BP process in 2014. The overall Industrial, Commercial and Institutional (ICI) market continued to experience a rise in construction values with increases in all ICI categories. The largest increases being attributed to the industrial and commercial sectors. The attached tables and charts show comparative construction activity data over a period of 3 - 5 years. It is important to look at the numbers in that context in order to allow for change in mix of projects, fluctuations, delays and corrections that take place year over year, particularly in today’s market economy.
Construction Value for BP Issued:
Overall construction value for building permits issued for 2013 was $378,751,182, an 11% decrease compared to 2012.
The residential sector witnessed an overall decrease of 30% in construction value. The decrease was mainly in apartments/condominiums while we saw an increase in semi-detached homes.
There was an increase of 13% in the residential renovations and additions category; an area of continuous growth since 2008/09.
On the non-residential side, the ICI sector had an overall healthy increase of 10% compared to 2012.
All ICI categories saw increases in 2013, with the industrial sector showing the largest increase of 39% year-to-year.
The ICI construction value represents 59% of the overall construction value; a consistent shift away from the residential sector.
In summary, the residential sector experienced a decrease in overall construction value while the non-residential ICI sectors, witnessed an overall increase in 2013. There was a diversity of construction activity in both the residential and ICI sectors, a result of increasing intensification and infill developments.

Top 10 Projects in 2013:
The following is a list of the top 10 building permits issued in 2013 for projects over 6.0 milliondollars ($6,000,000) in construction value:
2014 Forecast:
Looking forward, it is anticipated that 2014 will show strong growth in construction activity and associated construction value for building permits. The apartment/condominiums category is expected to return to higher values, based on anticipated new high-rise developments that have received, or are close to receiving planning approvals.
Infill development and intensification projects, presents more challenges which translate into more complex and involved building designs. These projects take 2-3 years on average throughout the building approval process from start to completion (see chart on page 4 for Anticipated Projects in 2014). Larger more complex buildings also require more inspections/site visits in order to ensure compliance with the Ontario Building Code (see chart on page 13 for Unit Inspections). With the implementation of the new Building Code in 2014 these challanges in building design will increase particularly with new requirements relating to energy conservation/efficiency, accessibility standards and fire safety inhancements to retirement/nursing homes.

Planning and Building Department January 2014
Building permit applications for renovations, redevelopment and additions are expected to grow across the board as we continue to move forward towards more infill developments and intensification projects. As a result of infill developments and intensification, we also foresee a continual increase in the number of townhouses projects.
Anticipated Projects in 2014:
Some of the anticipated building permit applications for key developments/projects expected to
be received in 2014 include:
The above list of projects shows a good mix of projects ranging from residential to commercial retail, office buildings and institutional projects. This diversification in project types and construction activity is in-line with the strategic plan (Burlington, our Future) directions of prosperity and vibrant neighbourhoods. The diversification of projects also ensures a long term sustainable development, construction activity and growth for the local economy.
