What sets this area apart
Most residential buildings in Funaitees were built with shallow foundations and columns of ordinary concrete, designed for one or two floors only. When adding a second floor, we test the concrete sections of existing columns and concrete strength through site testing, and ensure the foundations can accept the new load. Municipal regulations also require prior approval of the revised structural calculations and amended design drawings before work begins.
Funaitees is located in Mubarak Al-Kabeer governorate, where small to medium residential buildings sit on individual plots.
We conduct non-destructive concrete testing on existing columns before issuing clearance for the second-floor addition.

Questions about Second-floor addition in Funaitees
Call nowHow do you verify that existing columns can carry an additional floor?
We take concrete samples using non-destructive field tests and review the original building drawings to determine column diameter and rebar count. We then recalculate stresses with the added load to confirm capacity.
Do foundations need reinforcement when adding a floor?
Usually yes. We inspect the site soil and existing foundation depth, and if capacity is insufficient, we widen the foundations or add deep anchoring rods to transfer the additional load to firm soil layers.
