2nd Floor Over Block

The goal is to erect a second floor framed addition over an existing home.

House is block on slab with a Gable roof. Typical Florida Ranch. Assuming no underpinning or piers are needed, what steps would be first on your list? Please be broad in your descriptions.

Re: 2nd Floor Over Block

As a GC why would you ask a bunch of strangers this question on your first post?

What are your qualifications? Please be broad in your answers.
