What sets this area apart

Qortuba villas are high-quality 2 to 3-storey homes on spacious plots, and most roofs are reinforced concrete 25 to 30 centimetres thick with improved drainage systems. Adding a floor to Qortuba villas requires careful review of the original architectural design and permanent and live loads, plus comprehensive inspection of foundations and supports before any new pour. The site also needs special care for waterproofing and damp control to preserve the quality of the original villa beneath the new floor, while adhering to setback and architectural restrictions for the area.

Qortuba is in Capital governorate, a quiet upscale villa district near Qortuba Co-operative.

Concrete roofs on villas are 25 to 30 centimetres thick and require detailed foundation inspection before addition.

Questions about Rooftop floor addition in Qortuba

Call now
Can we add a floor to a villa without affecting existing foundations?

Yes, if foundations were designed with adequate safety margin. We perform full structural calculations to assess bearing capacity, and if it is limited, we strengthen foundations with additional piles or support beams before pouring.

How do we maintain the original villa's quality during the rooftop addition?

We isolate the work area with full protection and carefully remove asphalt and waterproofing without cracking the primary roof. We use first-grade waterproofing on both new and existing roof, and monitor with the engineer to prevent water seepage into the storey below.
