Additional floor in South Jahra
Adding a floor in South Jahra starts with a complete structural assessment of the existing building and checking whether the foundations and columns can bear the new load. We review the original drawings, soil conditions and existing concrete, then execute the necessary reinforcement before lifting the new frame.

What sets this area apart
Most houses in South Jahra are two or three-storey residential buildings on medium-sized plots, and the foundations are usually piles or simple footings designed only for the original load. Adding a fourth storey requires checking the pile depth, diameter and soil bearing capacity, and may need side reinforcement of the existing columns using concrete jacketing or carbon fibre wrapping. The old foundations must also be checked for settlement and levelness before any new concrete is poured, and this requires temporary shoring under the current floors during reinforcement.
South Jahra lies in Jahra governorate, a residential district of houses and small apartment blocks on individual plots.
Soil compaction and existing pile testing is mandatory before the consultant engineer approves the additional-floor design.

Questions about Additional floor in South Jahra
Call nowHow do we confirm the house's foundations can handle an extra floor?
We take soil samples around the existing piles and test them in the lab, measure the pile depth and diameter using exploratory drilling, then calculate the added load and the soil's capacity to support it.
Do the old house columns need reinforcement before new concrete is poured?
Usually yes. We add a concrete jacket around the existing columns or bond carbon fibre sheets to the column faces to increase their strength, and choose the method based on the structural assessment results.
