Adding Stories
Developers are increasing looking to maximise the potential of constrained sites by adding additional stories on top of the existing structure.
SD Structures are engaged early in the design process to prepare a feasibility study for adding stories. We investigate record drawings and commission specialist testing to calculate the current capacity of the structure. We work through options for what is achievable with the current frame or explore cost effective strengthening solutions to further maximise development potential.
