The Building and Construction Authority is looking for lawyers and architects to provide legal and technical advice to people affected by construction.
The call, announced on Saturday by the Building and Construction Authority and the Ministry of Justice and Construction Industry Reform, comes after Prime Minister Robert Abela pledged to provide citizens with a toll-free hotline service providing technical advice on construction-related matters.
Abela made the pledge at a press conference hours after the release of a 500-page report drawn up into the public inquiry into the death of Jean-Paul Sophia.
The call for lawyers and architects runs from now until March 29.
“One of our first priorities in reforming the construction industry is to provide a stronger voice for citizens who want to protect their rights. This will be achieved through investment in new services, such as free legal and technical professional assistance”, Justice Minister Jonathan A Tad said.
Attard said the service would eventually be supplemented by a 24/7 helpline to report and forward complaints.
The BCA will evaluate and select applications. The authority says it is looking for lawyers and architects for the expert team who are reliable, capable of working in a team, proactive and forward-looking.
