Rooftop annex design in Kuwait - Firdous

Rooftop annex design in Firdous

Rooftop annex design in Firdous requires precise load calculations on the existing slab and allowable structural extensions. We survey the current slab, determine its load-bearing capacity, then draw the supporting walls and columns. The full drawing set includes structural, architectural details and fixture layouts, ready for municipal submission.

What sets this area apart

Most villas and residential buildings in Firdous were built in the seventies and eighties on medium to large plots, and their top slabs generally accept limited additions if support columns are positioned precisely. When designing the annex, we calculate the weight of new walls and roof and trace loads vertically to the original foundations, requiring close inspection of slab thickness and existing rebar. Many of these buildings lack original structural drawings documenting column and beam locations, so we rely on site survey with metal detection and small test holes at key points.

Firdous is in Farwaniya governorate near Sixth Ring Road, a residential district of older villas and mid-rise apartment blocks.

Older villa slabs in Firdous typically measure 20 to 25 centimetres thick with light rebar not originally designed for added loads.

How do we check if the roof slab can bear the new annex?

We conduct a full site survey to measure slab thickness and locate columns and rebar using detection equipment, then calculate total new loads and submit structural details to the supervising engineer for approval.

Do the submitted municipal drawings include existing slab inspection findings?

Yes, the drawings include site survey observations, load calculations and structural details linking the new annex to the existing frame, which are the basic municipal approval requirements.
