During last year, 2024, the Building and Construction Authority Enforcement Officers conducted 12,759 inspections on construction sites. An increase of around 2,000 inspections from the previous year. A number of these inspections were random inspections, while the remaining were inspections against a report from the public.
From the total number of inspections carried, the BCA issued 240 notices of stop works and 670 of fines related to construction infringements.
Meanwhile, the Maltese and Gozo islands are segregated into 3 regions; A, B and C, in which each region incorporates several inspectors.
As the previous year, the greatest number of inspections were made in Region A, due to the increase in construction works in this region. This region incorporates the localities of Sliema and St. Julians which are well-known localities in Malta for the increased number of construction sites, during the last years.
In view of these successful results in 2024, the BCA is committed that during 2025 it will increase the number of inspections to safeguard the third parties’ interests and increase the methodology quality of construction in Malta.
