What sets this area apart

Zahraa has medium-rise residential buildings, mostly five to six storeys with standard concrete roofs. Before any addition work, we order a structural study of the existing roof and inspection of slab thickness and columns to confirm they can carry the new floor and live loads. Many buildings in the area were not designed for extra weight, which may require column reinforcement or additional bracing before pouring begins.

Zahraa sits in Hawalli governorate, a residential district of medium-rise apartment blocks with narrow shared courtyards between buildings.

Most Zahraa building roofs are 20 to 25 cm thick reinforced concrete with a waterproofing layer on top.

Questions about Rooftop floor addition in Zahraa

Call now
How do you verify the existing roof can support an additional floor?

We order an inspection measuring slab thickness and concrete quality with sample testing, plus calculation of the existing columns and foundations' load capacity. If insufficient, we recommend reinforcement with additional columns or steel bracing before pouring.

Does ownership separation between units affect rooftop addition work?

Yes, if the roof is jointly owned by multiple units, we need written approval from all owners before starting. We also verify the right to add a floor in the property deed and obtain the municipality building permit.
