Addition of a floor/storey to an old 3 storey house

Dear Vineet

After reading the content it is advisable to take the service of any Civil engineer/ structural engineer who can give his advice after inspecting the foundation and condition of building.

Dear Sir,

Thanks a lot for your response. Just wanted to know that, in such cases, is there a solution? I mean that if the foundation can't handle the load of the new floor then what all things are generally done to resolve this problem? Are pillar-strengthening or new-pillars or foundation-strengthening possible? (frankly, I don't know much about construction)

Thanks for your help in advance ...

Dear Vineet

As I already suggest to you to take the help of civil/ structural Engineer who tell you the solution of adding new RCC pillars or any other solution according to the site condition which dim fit according the condition of building etc.

Sir,

I am constructing a three storied building with 2000 Sq. feet carpet area.  I am planning to lay white granite with black spots for the flooring and stairs.   Could you please suggest the right type of granite and the pros and cons of laying granite vis-a-vis vitrified tiles.

Hello Iqbal,

Granite is a better option than Vitrified tiles. As Granite is a hard stone, much durable and strong than Vitrified tiles, easy to clean, resistance to scratch and stains, also better option for heavy traffic area.

Hi,

I am Hanumanth Kumar from Vijayawada, AP. starting my new house with an area of 231 yards. I would like to know about the flooring. I chose marble for my flooring. I need your advice for what color of marble i need to choose while selecting as i saw 3-4 varieties, like green design on white marble, black design on white , brown design on white, black spots on white marble. In these some are with diamond design, ameoba structure etc, pls suggest me in this as am confused in a lot of varieties.

Thank you very much,

Hello Sir,

Don’t be confused, marble is a good option for flooring, and about the varieties you can go with which one you like most for your home. Those are only available in different of colors and styles but pros and cons are same as they are a part of marble. That’s why you can go with anyone you like most.
