Building in PGECHS
PGECHS, the Punjab Government Employees Cooperative Housing Society, has owners who often start with one floor and hope to add another when family or budget allows. That plan works only if the first floor is built to carry the second. We take on grey structure and house construction in PGECHS, and we design the foundation and columns with your future floor in mind.
Check the Storey Limit
Confirm how many floors your plot allows before you design for an upper floor. Rules can differ between blocks.
Decide Now Whether You Will Add a Floor
A foundation sized for one floor may be too small for two. Footings, column sizes and steel all depend on the load above. If you think you might add a floor later, tell the engineer now. The extra cost of a stronger foundation is small compared with strengthening one afterward, which is often disruptive and sometimes impractical.
Leave Room to Grow
Plan the stair so it can continue upward, leave starter bars in the columns, protected until needed, and think about where services will run to the future floor. Check the society's rules on the number of storeys first. Our architectural design service draws plans with the future floor shown, and the plinth beam guide explains part of the structure that supports it.
If you add the floor years later, the renovation service handles the connection between old and new work.
Pay a Little Now, Save a Lot Later
A stronger foundation costs little at the start and a great deal to retrofit. If a second floor is possible in your plans, we size footings, columns and steel for it and protect the starter bars until you need them.
See the renovation page for adding to an existing building, and Bankers Avenue Society and Central Park Housing Scheme for other areas. Rates are on the pricing page.

How many floors does my plot allow?
Check the society's storey limit for your block.
What are starter bars?
Steel left sticking out of columns so the next floor can be tied in.
How do I protect the roof meanwhile?
Waterproof it properly, and protect the starter bars from rust.
