Topic: Load Bearing to RCC framed Structure

I have a 474 sqft. (12'*39.5')sqft 2 and half story house with load bearing structure. Now I want to construct 2 additional floor on that. As the existing structure (12' x 2 nos. wall 9",12' x 3 nos 4.5" thick and 39.5' x 2 nos. 4.5" thick) is load bearing so can I:

Make column from ground floor by cutting in wall and ceiling and joining the new steel bars with existing RCC slab to take load of 2 additional floor.
Make tie beam at ground level by cutting the wall horizontally in segment wise to support the columns.

Is this exercise is practical? will it take load of additional 2 floors or I should make a new construction after dismantling the existing structure?
If this is possible then I can save money for construction and I can use the existing floors.

Regards

A. K. Ajad
