Second-floor addition in Hateen
Adding a second floor to an existing structure in Hateen requires checking the columns and foundations for load capacity first. We verify the structure can carry the new weight, then pour the new slab, build walls and run all services through to handover.

What sets this area apart
Most Hateen residential houses are built on plots 20 to 25 metres deep with a frame of 4 to 5 main columns under the ground floor. Before adding a second storey, we need a structural report confirming the columns and foundations were originally designed for extra load; often the foundations need reinforcement. The inspection includes concrete sampling, soil testing and ultrasonic measurement to verify the condition of the existing frame.
Hateen is in Hawalli governorate, a residential district of simple concrete-frame houses with one or two storeys.
We require municipality approval on the new structural drawings before beginning any column-capacity check.

Questions about Second-floor addition in Hateen
Call nowCan my house's columns carry a second floor without reinforcement?
That cannot be determined without a detailed inspection. We take concrete and soil samples and run structural calculations to confirm load capacity; often the columns need additional reinforcement to be safe.
How long does the structural capacity check take before adding the floor?
It depends on the structure's size and access to the columns and foundations. Usually we need a week for inspection, measurement and calculations before submitting the final report to the municipality.
