What sets this area apart

Yarmouk's residential buildings are mostly three or four storeys built on concrete foundations approved decades ago. Before adding a rooftop floor, we conduct a full structural survey of the existing roof: measure slab thickness, check steel reinforcement by ultrasound or test cut, and verify there are no structural cracks or moisture. Older buildings may need column strengthening or additional load-distribution foundations under new columns. We send the assessment report to the site engineer and municipality before applying for the amendment permit.

Yarmouk is in Capital governorate, an older residential district of medium-rise apartment buildings around Yarmouk Sports Club.

The concrete slab thickness on Yarmouk roofs is typically 20 to 25 centimetres and may require structural reinforcement before adding a floor.

Questions about Rooftop floor addition in Yarmouk

How do we confirm the existing roof can carry an additional floor?

We conduct a comprehensive structural survey: measure slab depth, inspect reinforcement by ultrasound, and test concrete samples if needed. We compare the findings against the expected loads of the new storey, then submit an assessment report to the site engineer and municipality.

Might the foundations need reinforcement?

Yes, older foundations may not carry a full additional storey. We may add distribution foundations under new columns or strengthen existing columns with reinforcement bars and additional concrete before pouring the new roof slab.
