Overall construction value down for Kamloops building sector at halfway point of 2025
KAMLOOPS — At the halfway mark of 2025, the Kamloops building sector has seen more permits issued but less construction value per project.
New numbers released by the City of Kamloops Building Inspection Division show nearly $131.6 million in permit activity as of June 2025, down from $190.2 million recorded as of the same month last year. However, 515 permits have been issued through the first six months of 2025, up from the 469 issued during the same time last year.
Kamloops also remains behind its new housing unit pace at the halfway point of 2025. Permits for 249 residential units were approved during the first six months of 2025, down from 330 during the same time last year.
For the month of June itself, however, it was busier for the Kamloops building sector year-over-year.
