Whether you are building, renovating, buying or need something signed, you need a warranted perit. Perit Christopher Tabone and the team at KT3D Studio handle design, permits, structure, valuations and reports from our studio in Sliema.
In Malta, Perit is a protected title. Only a warrant holder may use it, and only a warrant holder may sign the planning applications, structural designs, valuations and reports that the law reserves to the profession. Traditionally the perit is architect and civil engineer in one: the same person who draws the façade answers for the structure behind it.

A permit, a report, a valuation or just advice. Even a rough idea is enough to start.
We tell you what is involved, what the law requires and the realistic route.
We do the work and put our name and warrant to it.
For any work that needs a Planning Authority permit, yes: the application has to be prepared and submitted by a perit. Any structural work, from a new build to opening up a wall, also needs a perit to design it, take responsibility for it and handle the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) requirements before and during the works. Purely cosmetic work, such as changing finishes, usually does not, but if you are unsure, ask before you start rather than after.
It is not compulsory, but it is the cheapest protection you will buy. A perit can check the property against its permits, flag illegal or unsanctioned works, assess its condition and tell you what you will realistically be allowed to do with it. If you are taking a bank loan, the bank will also ask for a valuation by a perit.
Planning applications and drawings, structural designs and method statements, BCA notifications and compliance documents, valuations, condition and third-party reports, and attestations. Every one of these carries the perit's name and warrant number, and with it professional and legal responsibility.
In Malta, "Perit" is a protected title held only by warrant holders, and traditionally it covers both architecture and civil engineering in one profession. Someone may be an architect elsewhere without being a perit here. The full story is in our article What Is a Perit?
Ask for the warrant number. Every warrant holder has one and should show it on their drawings, reports and letters. The Kamra tal-Periti keeps the register of warrant holders. Under the Periti Act 2021, a perit serving the public should also hold a current Certificate to Practise and professional insurance. Ours: Perit Christopher Tabone, Warrant No. 1271.
Yes. The studio is in Sliema, and we take on work across all of Malta and Gozo.
