Third-floor addition in Kuwait - Qibla

Third-floor addition in Qibla

Third-floor addition in Qibla requires precise structural assessment of the existing building before adding new load. We evaluate the columns and foundations for the extra storey, then pour the new concrete frame, finish it completely, and hand over ready for occupancy.

What sets this area apart

Qibla's buildings are relatively old, most built four decades ago on shallow foundations and columns with limited cross-sections. When adding a third storey, we carefully assess the condition of existing concrete, rebar corrosion, and column cracks, since the new load may exceed original bearing capacity. We review the municipality permit for approved height and setbacks, and test the soil and foundations if needed before pouring.

Qibla is in Kuwait's Capital governorate, an older commercial and residential district near Seif Palace and Gulf Road.

Qibla's older columns are typically 40 cm by 40 cm or larger, and engineering assessment before adding a storey is a mandatory step.

Questions about Third-floor addition in Qibla

Call now
How do we ensure the foundations can carry an additional third floor?

We examine the foundations and soil depth, and analyse the stresses on existing columns and footings. If bearing capacity is limited, we may strengthen the columns or widen the foundations before pouring the new floor.

Can we add a third floor to an older building with cracks in its columns?

It depends on the depth and location of the cracks. We analyse each case through precise engineering assessment, and may repair the cracks or reinforce the affected area before starting any addition work.
