What sets this area apart

Abu Fatira is a mixed residential zone of villas on 500, 800 m² plots and small apartment blocks of three to four floors, mostly built decades ago to design standards older than the current code. When adding a second floor, we must inspect strip or isolated foundations and assess column capacity for additional loads. The soil is sandy-silty, and gradual settlement is possible especially under shallow foundations. We plan localised reinforcement and monitor vertical and horizontal cracks throughout the project.

Abu Fatira is located in Mubarak Al-Kabeer governorate, a residential area with older villas and small apartment buildings.

We inspect strip foundations and columns through structural survey before approving any new-floor addition.

Questions about Second-floor addition in Abu Fatira

Call now
Do you add a second floor to older homes without original drawings?

Yes. We inspect the site directly, measure columns, walls and foundations, take concrete samples, then produce a detailed structural survey to replace missing drawings before designing reinforcement.

How long does the inspection phase take before pouring begins?

It depends on the building size and foundation condition. Inspections and structural survey typically take one to two weeks, then results are analysed and engineering sign-off is given before any reinforcement or pouring begins.
