Second-floor addition in Kuwait - Firdous

Second-floor addition in Firdous

Adding a second floor in Firdous to an existing structure starts with a full inspection of the columns, foundations and ground slab. We check load-carrying capacity, then pour the new storey and hand it over ready for finishing.

What sets this area apart

Most Firdous houses were built in recent decades on regular plots 25 to 30 metres deep with medium-sized concrete frames. Columns typically measure 40 × 40 cm and ground slabs are 30 cm thick, not originally designed for extra loads. Structural inspection includes ultrasonic concrete strength testing, foundation sampling and measurement of ground-slab deflection under current load, then calculation of the additional load the frame can safely carry.

Firdous is located in Farwaniya governorate near Firdous Co-op and Sixth Ring Road.

Most Firdous house columns measure 40 × 40 cm and ground slabs are 30 cm thick, requiring precise reinforcement study before adding a floor.

Questions about Second-floor addition in Firdous

Call now
Will the ground slab carry the full weight of a second floor on top?

The ground slab was designed only for the ground floor load, not extra weight. We measure its current deflection and calculate if it needs underpinning or an additional central column to transfer the new load directly to the foundations.

Do I need an engineer's structural report after the inspection?

Yes, a sealed structural report from a licensed engineer is required to get municipality approval and begin the floor addition. The report includes calculations and detailed drawings for the new floor.
