Q:Hi,We have a individual house (ground floor) constructed 25 years ago. The type of construction is load bearing wall construction. We are planning to construct a floor on top of it. The whole area is rock area and the current strength of the walls are good. Each wall is around 16 inches. While contacting different builders/contractors they are suggesting that we demolish the whole house and build fresh with pillars. We dont want to got that way.Is it durable to construct on top of load bearing. Please suggest your opinions.
Latest Answer: Hi, I think you should take a suggestion from a good developer, they will guide you in the better manner. As per your description, I think you should construct one floor with beam and supporting pillars But it purely depend upon old construction.
