Third-floor addition in Kuwait - Faiha

Third-floor addition in Faiha

Adding a third floor to Faiha villas requires inspecting a sound structure and reviewing original soil reports. We assess column and foundation condition, evaluate load capacity for an additional storey, and submit an approved structural plan to the municipality.

What sets this area apart

Faiha villas typically sit on relatively spacious plots of 600 to 900 square metres, built to older architectural standards. Most were constructed over 20 years ago with concrete and rebar that may be weaker than current codes. We request original geotechnical and structural reports from the owner; if unavailable, we conduct a full site survey and sample the existing foundation to determine if it can bear the additional load.

Faiha is located in the Capital governorate, a quiet residential area with wide streets and spaced-out villas near Faiha Park.

Most Faiha villas use a column-and-beam system with spacing of around 4 to 5 metres, which provides good flexibility for adding a storey.

Questions about Third-floor addition in Faiha

Call now
Do we need municipality approval before starting the addition in Faiha?

Yes, we must submit approved structural drawings from a consulting engineer and obtain municipality approval. We handle these steps after completing the site engineering assessment.

If the plot's soil is weak, can we reinforce the foundation from the side?

Yes, we can install new piles or add concrete columns alongside the existing foundation, but this requires subsurface excavation and protection measures for the standing house during execution.
