Second-floor addition in Sharq
Adding a second floor to an existing structure in Sharq requires checking whether the concrete columns can carry the additional load. We run field tests on the existing foundations and frame, then design and install new columns and beams, handing over the finished second floor ready for interior work.

What sets this area apart
Sharq has a mix of older and newer residential towers on medium-sized plots, many built on limited columns designed for only two or three storeys. Adding a fourth or fifth floor requires a full inspection of the foundations and column capacity to take the extra load, and may need partial reinforcement before pouring. The ground in Sharq is sandy with shallow groundwater, which affects the stability of the added structure, so we test the soil first before any new design.
Sharq is in the Capital governorate, a mixed residential and commercial district near Kuwait Towers and Sharq Marina.
We test the load-bearing capacity of existing columns before approving any additional load for the new floor.

Questions about Second-floor addition in Sharq
Call nowCan you add a floor to a building constructed twenty years ago?
Yes, but it requires a detailed inspection of the existing foundations and columns first. We take concrete samples and soil tests to confirm the structure can bear the new load before starting any work.
What if the existing columns cannot carry extra load?
We design localized reinforcement with additional columns or concrete wrapping of existing columns, then pour the new floor on the reinforced system. This increases lateral loads and requires an amended building permit from the municipality.
