What sets this area apart

Residential and mixed-use buildings in Sharq are typically five to eight storeys on medium-sized plots near Kuwait Towers. Before adding a rooftop floor, we sample the existing roof concrete to test its strength and review the original drawings if available to understand the structural system. If the roof was not designed for extra load, we add new bracing and columns. Most additions here require municipality approval and a building permit amendment.

Sharq is in the Capital governorate, a mixed commercial and residential district near Kuwait Towers and the Gulf waterfront.

Most Sharq buildings require concrete core sampling of the existing roof before designing the rooftop floor.

How do we verify the existing roof can support a new rooftop floor?

We take core samples from the existing roof and test them in the laboratory to determine their strength, review the original plans and calculate total loads. If the capacity is insufficient, we design additional bracing and columns.

Does adding a rooftop floor require municipality approval?

Yes, any floor addition requires municipality approval and an amended building permit. We submit the engineering drawings and structural test reports to the municipality before starting work.
