Local Construction Industry Data

The appeal of Toronto as a hub for growth and opportunity has surged over the past two decades, with the city playing a key role in Canada’s construction boom. Between 2020 and 2025, Canada welcomed over 2,500,000 new immigrants, all in a need of housing. This influx fuels Toronto’s thriving construction industry, driving demand for skilled general contractors (hint "Rich by Design Inc.) to build the homes and businesses, and that shape our city’s future.
