Construction, Renovation & Restoration Industry
Construction and restoration in Malta are strictly governed by SL 646.27. The “biggest headache” for local developers today is the lack of awareness regarding the Health & Safety File, which is now a legal requirement for any construction site.
Key Local Context for 2026:
BCA & OHSA Interference: An unannounced visit from the Building & Construction Authority (BCA) or the OHSA can result in immediate stop-work orders if your documentation isn’t in line. Websedia steps in to “interfere” on your behalf, regulating your site so you stay operational.
The “Eye for Detail” in Restoration: Sensitive restoration projects require more than a generic safety plan. We provide specialized risk management that respects the structural integrity of heritage buildings while protecting workers.
Project Supervisor Duty: You cannot legally start a construction project in Malta without a competent project supervisor. We actively ensure the health and safety for your construction site.
