What sets this area apart

Jabriya features apartment blocks and small commercial warehouses mixed together on medium-sized plots. Many of these buildings were built in the 1980s and 1990s with basic concrete foundations and limited columns, and may lack complete documentation. Adding a second floor requires thorough inspection of the existing structure and review of original drawings if available, then new load calculations. The soil in Jabriya is mixed sand and clay, and may contain traces of old foundations or underground service lines, so we test carefully before pouring.

Jabriya is in Hawalli governorate, a mixed residential-commercial area near Mubarak Hospital and Jabriya Co-op.

We verify the original building documentation or conduct a full structural survey if original drawings are unavailable.

Questions about Second-floor addition in Jabriya

What do we do if there are no original drawings for an old building in Jabriya?

We conduct a full structural survey of the existing building, take concrete samples and test column and foundation strength. Based on results, we prepare a new structural study covering the feasibility of adding a floor.

Do underground service lines in Jabriya affect second-floor foundations?

They may affect it if they are near the new column locations. We conduct a comprehensive ground survey to map water, electrical and drainage lines before designing new foundations.
