The government of Saskatchewan says it's seeing more success with building construction investment, which is being backed up by numbers from Statistics Canada. In their latest release, they showed that Saskatchewan saw a 29.9 per cent growth in February 2025 compared to February 2024 for building construction investment.

Investment in building construction is calculated based on the total spending value on building construction within the province. 

The figures would put Saskatchewan in first place among all provinces for year-over-year growth.
