7. Conclusion
The construction value at the end of January, February, and March was 55.5% lower this year
than last year, with 109 residential dwelling units issued, compared to 216 in 2015. This is
because 2014 was an exceptional year with regards to building permits. We compared the first
three months of 2015 with previous years, and believe building permit activity in 2015 will be at
an historical average.
