Additional floor in Kuwait - Sawaber

Additional floor in Sawaber

Sawaber is a dense urban area with multi-storey residential buildings, and adding a floor to an existing structure requires explicit municipal approval and precise structural assessment because buildings are interconnected. We evaluate the current frame and handle design and execution with full engineering oversight.

What sets this area apart

Sawaber buildings typically have four to six storeys on relatively small plots between neighbouring structures. Their structural system relies on columns and shear walls to carry vertical and lateral loads, and any new floor shifts the load balance and forces on the foundation. Assessment includes checking concrete cracks, measuring building settlement, and recalculating loads with the added level.

Sawaber is in the Capital governorate near the well-known Al Sawaber residential complex, where apartment blocks are stacked at high density.

Sawaber buildings built before 2000 rarely have modern structural drawings, so we must conduct a detailed engineering survey of the existing frame.

Questions about Additional floor in Sawaber

Call now
Can you add a floor to a residential building that is attached to other buildings on both sides?

Yes, but it requires careful study of shared foundations and walls. We coordinate with the municipality to ensure the load on soil and shared structures stays within safe limits.

Does concrete cracking in an old building mean you cannot add a floor?

Not necessarily. Cracks may result from drying, thermal expansion, or minor differential settlement. We assess crack type, cause and severity to determine if adding a floor is safe or requires reinforcement.
