BCA reaction to new directive by Architects

The Authority acknowledges the issuance of Directive 02/24 entitled ‘New BCA Forms’ by the Kamra tal-Periti (KTP). It is committed to fostering ongoing constructive dialogue with all stakeholders in the sector, including the Chamber of Architects. However, it was unexpected that on the same day of an important meeting aimed at enhancing dialogue and discussing the recommendations of the Sofia inquiry, the Chamber of Architects issued the aforementioned directive, despite not being able to attend the meeting.

While the Authority remains open to providing clarification on its initiatives, it emphasizes that the measures introduced aim to enhance the protection of third parties affected by construction projects and streamline the insurance process by introducing a ‘Certificate of Insurance’ as a concise summary of lengthy insurance policy documents.

 

The Authority looks forward to continuing discussions with the Chamber of Architects in the already scheduled meetings.
