Rooftop floor addition in Kuwait - Funaitees

Rooftop floor addition in Funaitees

Rooftop-floor addition in Funaitees focuses on verifying the structural integrity of existing mixed residential and commercial buildings, most of which were built on small, overlapping plots. We check foundation and slab capacity, then execute the new floor using methods that ensure safe load distribution.

What sets this area apart

Funaitees plots are small and buildings are tightly clustered, limiting lateral and horizontal expansion, so rooftop addition becomes the only way to add residential space. This means existing foundations may be narrow and deep to fit the small plot size. We conduct precise field survey to measure slab, column and foundation thicknesses, and use structural software to calculate additional loads on each column.

Funaitees is in Mubarak Al-Kabeer governorate, a densely built residential area on small, tightly packed plots.

We observe the municipality's review period for the structural study before beginning any excavation or reinforcement work.

Questions about Rooftop floor addition in Funaitees

Call now
Can you add a rooftop floor to buildings on very small plots?

Yes, but it depends on the strength of the existing foundations. We inspect them carefully and calculate their capacity for the additional load, and may need to reinforce them.

Do narrow columns in older buildings prevent rooftop addition?

Narrow columns require precise calculations for new loads. We may need to add intermediate columns in the new floor or band existing columns to increase their strength.
