Hi guys,
First time posting here. Hope to get some suggestions. Me and my family are thinking to move to Sri Petaling and we are looking at 2.5 storey terrace. Been having hard time to find available unit at reasonable price. So I'm thinking we could actually buy a cheaper double storey terrace and turn it into a 2.5 storey. Yeah problem solved! But wait... my hunch tells me that it would not be so simple....
I would like to know how much would it cost to build an additional 0.5 floor on a 22 x 75 double storey terrace. Or I should ask if it is possible to do so in the first place.
Thanks!
I think the major concern is the foundation and structure reliability with the extra 0.5 storey weight, it may cause the beam to crack, and endangering the neighbors' house as well. Some people extend the back yard to max in double storey with proper piling, this option may be safer.First time posting here. Hope to get some suggestions.
