Mifsud visited the property a few days after the September storm and said he would be taking meas- ures to complete work on the first storey and repair the damage done to Galea's property. To date, noth- ing has been done. Asked why construction had halted, the ar- chitect explained that the builder had to move on to another project. BRO officials also came to the property after the October storm and inspected the damage. "This construction destroyed our place, and although Mifsud should have taken responsibility for all that happened, he failed to do so. I never imagined that our home would be damaged to this extent," Galea said, as he told us that an architect from the same firm as Mifsud had drawn up a condition report prior to the com- mencement of the works, which should be able to show that none of the damage was present before demolition and building started." Since Mifsud's visit in Septem- ber, attempts to contact him have repeatedly failed, he said. Emails and calls do not appear to be going through, and the last registered letter sent to the architect was not delivered, leaving Galea suspect- ing that the architect was trying to avoid him. "I am getting the impression that he has tried to avoid contact with me," Galea remarked, as he explained that recent emails, text messages and calls did not go through, and the last registered letter he sent was not delivered. An architect he appointed pri- vately also emailed Mifsud re- questing the situation be rem- edied before the next rain, but to no avail. Visibly upset, Galea and his wife expressed their frustration at hav- ing seemingly reached a desperate point where they cannot do any- thing more to remedy their situa- tion. Philip Mifsud's reaction Philip Mifsud, who is both archi- tect and developer of the project, denied that the work had at any point stopped, and said that it was ongoing. "Concrete work was done on the top (roof) of Galea's maisonette, and, because of the nature of such work and the material used, some time had to pass before work on the next stage proceeded," he said. That meant it was not possible to proceed immediately, or within a matter of a few days, as the mate- rial had to set. "It was inevitable that work had to pause for a period of time. There was work down late this week in the common parts, and bricks to carry on with the build- ing work, arrived on Friday. Work is in progress," he claimed. Mifsud said that contractors tend to move between building jobs, as had happened in this case. "I assured Mr Galea that I will make good for any damage caused by the ongoing work," acknowl- edging that water had entered into the home. He also explained that the situ- ation had been already partially remedied as work had been done to prevent more water from enter- ing the property. Claims that Mifsud had at any time not answered Galea's at- tempts at contacting him were also disputed. "I always replied to every email I received from him, and never refused any registered letter which I was notified of." construction brings elderly couple Joseph Galea (left) says his house has been ravaged by the rain and construction works which have proved highly damaging to him: rainwater has seeped in after cracks developed because of construction works above his home.
