Second-floor addition in Kuwait - Qibla

Second-floor addition in Qibla

Adding a second floor to an existing structure in Qibla requires checking column and foundation capacity before any loading. We verify the original engineering data and municipal permit, then build up the new frame to the same standards and complete all finishing for handover.

What sets this area apart

Older and mid-age Qibla buildings have reinforced concrete columns with cross-sections that differ from modern projects. Before adding a floor, we sample the concrete, measure actual dimensions, and study the original structural drawings to calculate available load. Existing floors may have varying thickness or contain tangled old services, so we plan a safe dismantling and remove obstacles for the new addition. After checks and approvals, we pour the new frame and complete finishes while carrying out minor maintenance on lower floors.

Qibla lies in the Capital governorate, a mixed commercial and residential area near Gulf Road and Seif Palace.

We confirm the capacity of existing foundations and columns before designing the new frame for the second floor.

Questions about Second-floor addition in Qibla

How do you verify that existing foundations can support an added floor?

We test the concrete of the foundations and columns, measure their actual dimensions, then review the original drawings to calculate remaining load capacity. If needed, we reinforce the foundations using approved engineering methods.

Can occupants remain in the building during the addition?

It depends on the building condition and planned work. We review safety, vibration and dust with the site engineer; temporary evacuation of upper floors during pouring may be necessary.
