Second-floor addition in Qasr
Adding a second floor to an existing building in Qasr requires careful assessment of the original frame strength and foundations. We verify column load capacity and soil conditions before pouring the second-floor slab, roof and final finishes.

What sets this area apart
Qasr in Jahra contains residential villas and small apartment blocks on medium-sized plots, mostly built 15 to 25 years ago to developed local building standards. Soil in the area is gravelly with thick clay layers, and foundations are typically standard reinforced concrete at 1.5 to 2 metres depth. When adding a floor, we need copies of the original reports if available, otherwise we conduct on-site test pits. Columns (usually 40×40 or 45×45) are recalculated under the added load and may need an additional concrete band around existing foundations to boost capacity.
Qasr is in Jahra governorate, a relatively older residential district with villas and small apartment blocks on medium-sized plots.
Foundations in Qasr are typically reinforced concrete at 1.5 to 2 metres depth per previous soil reports.

Questions about Second-floor addition in Qasr
Call nowDo old foundations in Qasr need deepening when adding a second floor?
Not necessarily. We first test the soil and current load with test pits, then calculate available additional capacity. If capacity is sufficient, we add a concrete band around the existing foundation. If deeper work is needed, we deepen specific sections.
How do you handle the gravelly and clayey soil on site during construction?
The gravelly soil provides good drainage, and the clay layer below offers high bearing capacity. We target foundations directly on the clay layer and manage water drainage around excavations during pouring.
