How to apply for framing in a five-story brick-concrete building

1. Consult the local construction, planning or housing management departments to find out whether it is allowed to add frames to existing buildings, what conditions need to be met and the application procedures.

2. Hire architects or structural engineers and other professionals to conduct detailed on-site investigation and evaluation to ensure that the original building can bear the weight and load of the added frame.

3. Prepare the documents required for the application, such as architectural design drawings, structural calculation reports, land use certificates, construction drawings, etc.

4. Submit the prepared application materials to relevant departments and pay the application fee as required.
