How is the inheritance of children calculated, according to Sharia, for a property consisting of three floors, which the father and two of his sons inhabited, given that the father was the one who bought the land and built the first two floors?

The inheritance of the children is only in the ground and first floors. What each son built is considered his private property unless he gifted it to his father. Therefore, the father, by building, is considered to have gifted to the air.
