SUMMARY

Constructing a slab on a brick wall for a rooftop on a three-story building requires professional oversight. The brick wall dimensions are 8' x 14', and it is crucial to engage a licensed engineer to design the slab and ensure compliance with local building codes. Attempting to bypass these regulations poses significant safety risks and is not advisable. Proper planning and approval from the local building inspection department are mandatory for this type of construction.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of structural engineering principles
  • Knowledge of local building codes and regulations
  • Familiarity with construction materials and load-bearing requirements
  • Experience in project management for construction projects
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the role of a licensed structural engineer in construction projects
  • Learn about local building codes and how to obtain necessary permits
  • Study load-bearing calculations for rooftop slabs
  • Explore best practices for safe construction on existing structures
USEFUL FOR

Architects, construction project managers, homeowners planning rooftop additions, and anyone involved in building design and compliance.

I have a 3 story building.
Will it be possible to put a slab (to make it a roof top) on a brick wall at 2nd floor?

It was designed to construct a roof.

Dimensions of brick wall: 8' X 14'

Or please suggest me the best way to make a roof top on it.

You do not have the skills or knowledge to be doing any construction design. You need to contract with a licensed engineer to do the plans and get them approved by your local building inspection department.

Please stop posting like this here -- asking for advice on how to bypass your local building codes. It is just too dangerous in your case.
