Builders & Structural Work

Structural work is the one part of a project where the decision to proceed is not ours or yours alone. Anything affecting the structure requires a warranted perit, and in Malta that is a legal role rather than a formality — the perit takes responsibility for the design and the method.

Our part is delivery and coordination: engaging the right trades, sequencing the work so the rest of the programme is not stopped for longer than it has to be, and making sure what the perit specified is what actually gets built.

What this covers

• New openings, removals and structural alterations
• Extensions and additional floors, subject to permission
• Remedial and strengthening works
• Excavation and foundations where required
• Coordination with a warranted perit and the relevant approvals

What it costs

Structural work is the least generalisable cost on this site. It depends on what is being altered, what is above it, and what the perit specifies — and none of that is visible before someone has looked.

We do not publish a rate for this one. It is not priced per square metre in any way that would survive contact with a real property, and a number we cannot stand behind is worse than no number. It is quoted after the survey, itemised, before anything starts.

How it works

You deal with us, not with the trade. We survey, we quote a fixed price, we bring in the builders from the CheckYourTraders-verified network, and we manage the sequencing around every other trade on site. One point of contact, one contract, one invoice.

Questions people ask

Do I need a perit?

For anything structural, yes — in Malta a warranted perit is legally required to design and take responsibility for structural work. It is not a fee we can advise you to skip, and any contractor who suggests otherwise is telling you something useful about themselves.

Can you tell me if a wall is structural?

Not reliably from a photograph or a floor plan, and we would rather say so than guess. It is established on site, and where there is any doubt the perit decides.

Does this hold up the rest of the project?

Some of it, unavoidably — you cannot finish around a wall that is coming out. Where it can be sequenced to run alongside other work we do that, and the programme after the survey shows where the genuine dependencies are.
