What sets this area apart
Hassawi comprises mid-rise residential buildings, mostly four to six storeys built on limited plots in the 1980s and 1990s. Adding a floor to these buildings means reviewing column and foundation design that may be close-spaced and already loaded. We calculate the new floor's additional load per column, assess foundation settlement risk, and execute necessary reinforcement through concrete injection or pouring new concrete around the existing base. The municipality requires an approved consultant's sign-off on drawings and calculations before work starts.
Hassawi is in Farwaniya governorate, a district of relatively older residential buildings whose foundations may not have been originally designed for addition.
Buildings in Hassawi typically have square columns of 40 × 40 cm or 50 × 50 cm, with column spacing between 4 and 5 metres.

Questions about Second-floor addition in Hassawi
Call nowDoes adding a floor to an existing building affect the old building's stability?
Yes, which is why we inspect the foundation and columns first. If foundations are already heavily loaded, we may need additional reinforcement or sub-foundation injection to ensure no further settlement occurs.
What is the typical timeframe for structural inspection and reinforcement before construction begins?
It depends on building size and reinforcement scope. Inspection typically takes two to three weeks, and reinforcement may take additional weeks depending on the type of work required.
