What sets this area apart

Salmi homes are detached plots with two storeys built on hard mixed soil near the Kuwait-Iraq border zone. The area may experience minor ground vibrations and soil movement due to border proximity and construction activity. Older frames may be weaker than in other areas, so we carefully inspect foundations, columns and slabs, extract concrete samples, and consult the engineer on reinforcement needed before adding new load.

Salmi is in Jahra governorate, a border residential area near the Salmi crossing on the Kuwait-Iraq border.

Minor ground vibrations and soil movement can affect foundation stability and require detailed inspection before storey addition.

Questions about Third-floor addition in Salmi

Does Salmi's border location affect the feasibility of adding a third floor?

The border location may mean minor vibrations and ground movement. We inspect the frame and foundations with special care, and consult the engineer on additional reinforcement if needed.

Is the age of homes in Salmi different from other areas?

Yes, most Salmi homes are older and may have weaker frames. We inspect them carefully and assess their capacity to bear an extra storey before approving the addition.
