What sets this area apart

Qortuba villas are premium properties, mostly on large plots of 2,000 square metres or more, built to high standards decades ago. Their concrete frames are designed for specific loads, and adding a floor requires careful study of columns, ceilings and foundations. We sample the existing concrete, document slab height and column spacing, then calculate available additional capacity. Older villas often need minor underground reinforcements or strip foundation strengthening. The new floor is built with modern concrete and steel, and we install electrical, water and drainage systems to Kuwait building code standards.

Qortuba is in the Capital governorate, an upscale villa district with large residential plots.

We verify original engineering drawings and test column and foundation capacity before beginning design of the additional frame.

Questions about Second-floor addition in Qortuba

Call now
Does foundation reinforcement require digging beneath the existing villa?

It may be needed, but we do it carefully with limited methods that do not affect current wall stability. We typically use point supports or deep-drilled holes beside existing foundations.

How long does the structural inspection of the existing frame take?

The inspection includes measurements, sampling and engineering review, usually completed within a few weeks. The findings determine whether the addition is feasible or requires reinforcements.
