What is a Structural Audit?

 

It is the first step in deciding to go for the redevelopment project. This report has to be carried out for all buildings/structures in the society plot. Without the structural reports, society cannot go for the redevelopment process.

 

A structural audit means that the structural strength of a society building is inspected by an authorized structural engineer. The inspection includes the following points.

  1. Structural drawing analysis. ( if available)
  2. On-site inspection.
  3. Necessary structural stability tests ( if suggested by the auditor)

In a structural audit, the auditor will suggest whether society needs restoration or redevelopment.

 

When does Society go for a Structural Audit?

 

  1. If the building is old for more than 30 years, the building structure is damaged and in an unrepairable condition.
  2. If a structural audit consultant mentioned the condition of buildings & suggested whether society needs redevelopment.
  3. Even if a building is less than 30 years old (building lifespan), but the structural report suggests redevelopment rather than restoration, society can choose redevelopment.

 

Who can do a Structural Audit?

 

  1. Experienced structural engineer registered with the competent authority.
  2. His experience should be not less than 10 years in a relevant field.

Introduction

 

We understand that redevelopment is the most critical, risk-oriented process in the lifespan of society. Society members have to go through huge problems & worries during the decision-making process. But with the help of a good project management consultant, this process will reduce the worries of all members. The process must have the following factors.

  1. Maximum benefit to all society members. 
  2. Impartial service to all members. 
  3. Consultation for smooth process & easy decision-making 
  4. Safeguarding society's rights.

 

Let’s understand the whole process of redevelopment at a glance

 

For a successful redevelopment, society must go through the following process.

  1. Smooth redevelopment 
  2. Frequently asked questions(faq)
  3. Step-by-step redevelopment
  4. Redevelopment document/lists
  5. Supervision
  6. Agencies & members involved in the redevelopment process
  7. Successful redevelopment   

 

Here is each point explained in detail.                                          


 

SMOOTH REDEVELOPMENT

 

Difference between Restoration and Redevelopment?

 

In restoration, the existing building is extensively repaired and restored to its original condition. In redevelopment, the existing building is demolished, and a new structure/building with prevailing bylaws and additional FSI/TDR is constructed.

 

What Are The Advantages Of Redevelopment?

 

  1. In the case of a building's restoration by major repairs, though the beams and pillars are strengthened externally, the inner core, which consists of steel rods, cannot be restored to its original condition. Hence, even after extensively repairing the building, there are bound to be umpteen complaints about leakages requiring frequent repairs. In the case of redevelopment, the entire structure being brand new, it will be free from complaints. 
  2. The new building will accommodate various modern facilities & amenities with the current trends of society.
  3. Well-planned and designed flats with earthquake structures.
  4. The corpus fund received by each individual member will cover the increase in the premises' maintenance cost or could be utilized for other purposes.
  5. Additional carpet areas will be received as compensation from the developer. 
  6. The owner can buy additional space (if available) from the developer at the best available price.
  7. Modern facilities/amenities/gadgets like lifts, intercom systems, smoke detectors, fire fighting alarm systems, concealed plumbing, concealed wiring for electricity, telephone, cable TV, etc. Will be available. (depends upon an offer from developers)
  8. Additional parking will be available with new norms of authority.
  9. Electrical, plumbing, tiles, parking spaces & other specifications will follow modern trends.

 

Disadvantages Of Redevelopment

 

  1. For a considerable period of time, members are required to give up possession of their flats, which disrupts their age-old routine.
  2. If converted to commercial complexes, residential complexes are seldom preferred for housing purposes or dwellings.
  3. The additional areas received will attract stamp duty and registration charges at the current market price.
  4. There is always a fear of a halfway stalled project resulting in a court case. ( but a good project management consultant can reduce this risk by verifying of all steps in the redevelopment process)
  5. New construction with all kinds of amenities will increase the cost of maintenance to be paid to society. 

 

Guidelines For Smooth Redevelopment 

 

  1. All members of society should be confident in the redevelopment process.
  2. The tender process should be transparent & as per the provision of cooperative society housing bye-laws
  3. The appointment of a builder/developer/contractor should not be arbitrarily made. The agreement with them should be legally sound, technically complete, and clearly mention all possible building specifications. It should clarify all things like carpet area, amenities, corpus fund, shifting charges, rent of temporary accommodation, any betterment charges, etc.
  4. The role & responsibility of the project management consultant should be clear & their services should be impartial.
  5. Society should not go for a redevelopment process without a feasibility report from a project management consultant.

 

Frequently Asked Redevelopmenent Questions (FAQs) 

 

Q.1 Whether individual consent of all the members is required for redeveloping the society’s buildings or only a resolution by the general body will be sufficient?

 

  • In the case of the apartment (registered under the association of apartments) a written consent is required from each & every member. But in the case of housing society a written consent from 51% of members is required for redevelopment. 

(As per govt. GR)

 

Q.2 What is the consequence if consent is not received from all the members for carrying out redevelopment?

  • If all the members of the society do not give their consent for redevelopment, the concerned authorities, such as the Dy. Registrar of co-operative societies, will not grant permission for redevelopment.

 

Q.3 Can a member change his decision after giving his consent in writing for redevelopment?

 

  • Consent obtained from the members is irrevocable and embossed with rs.100/- stamp. Hence, once consent is given by a member, it cannot be revoked. Only if a member has a strong reason to retract his consent does he have to follow the legal procedure for proving his point of discontent for retracting his consent.

 

Q.4 Can a minority of members stall the process of redevelopment?

 

  • It depends on what proportion of minority is stalling the development and the reasons behind stalling the project. If the reasons for stalling the project are strong, then redevelopment cannot proceed unless the issues with them are settled.

 

Q.5 Can one or two members hold the society to ransom on flimsy grounds?

 

  • No member of the society can hold the society to ransom on flimsy grounds. The society will have to initiate action against such members.

 

Q.6 What action can the society initiate against those members who oppose such kind of a move that is supported by a huge majority

 

  • Then society can issue show cause notice to the members and take action even to the extent of expulsion from the society.

 

Q.7 Does a society require forming a redevelopment committee or can a managing committee carry out the job independently?

 

  • The general body has the power to decide on this issue. Appointing a redevelopment committee is not mandatory but is highly recommended to ensure transparency in the dealings.

 

Q.8 What are the powers of the redevelopment committee?

 

  • The general body has to decide on the powers to be allocated to the redevelopment committee. Generally, the following powers are to be given to the redevelopment committee:
  •  to approve or reject the proposal placed before them by the managing committee of the society.
  • To give suggestions, if any, regarding the proposal placed before them by the managing committee.

 

Q.9 What is the tenure of the redevelopment committee?

 

  • Generally, the tenure of the redevelopment committee should be from the start of the project to the completion of the project to ensure the continuity of the control of the project.

 

Q. 10 Whether elections are to be held for the selection of members for the redevelopment committee?

 

  • The election rules are not binding on the redevelopment committee. The general body should select it from among senior members of the society who are educated to read and understand the various documents and have an active interest in redeveloping the society.

 

Q. 11 Can a redevelopment committee/member of a redevelopment committee be terminated?

 

  • If the general body feels that a member of the redevelopment committee or the entire redevelopment committee acts to the detriment of the interests of the society and obstructs the working of the managing committee in carrying out redevelopment, then on the recommendation of the general body, the tenure of a member a redevelopment committee or the entire redevelopment committee can be terminated.

Importance of FSI

Have you ever been in a situation where you are dealing with the land related issues and you hear certain real estate jargons that you have never heard of? We are sure you are getting a lot of recalls from the past. Well, today we are going to discuss one such term, FSI. FSI stands for the floor space index.  

FSI is also renowned as Floor Area Ratio (FAR). The term FSI refers to the ratio of the complete floor area of a building or a house (termed as the built-up area) to the complete plot area (land). These numbers and its values dictate the complete land area that you can construct, upon a plot.

There are set and fixed formulas that are used to calculate the floor space index. Even if we have the formulas, it is not easy for someone out of the field to achieve the accuracy in calculating it. FSI is regulated by the department called the Development control regulation of a certain location and works as per the National Building Code of India.

The value of FSI is not same everywhere it is regulated according to the city zone, type of building and a lot of other amenities. It is possible to build up the construction only as imposed by the government.

The formula for the FSI calculation goes this way,

                                                  Floor Space covered in all floors

               FSI =                             ——————————————

                                                         Area of the plot

Let us see about the Premium F.S.I  

Well, these are some of the deviations allowed irrespective of locations and the building types.

If you ever wish or desire to stretch your Floor Space Index (F.S.I), you will have to pay some premium amount to the government. In order to avail this F.S.I, the joining road has to be 30 feet.

If the land you are planning to build on happens to be 30-40 abutting the roadway, the premium FSI will allow you to build on 20% more than actually allowed area. This increases with the increase in the width. Like, for the 40-60 road width you get 30% premium FSI, and for 60 feet road width it is 40% premium FSI.

F.S.I is not just the best option for us but it is also a great factor that helps to reduce the stress on the city. It is considered as the best concept since it limits and aligns the sources. With all the positive attributes it has, a lot of us tend to misunderstand its holistic approach. FSI helps the government to decide what % of the city area must be dedicated to the park, what percent for the road and how to divide the remaining into the different zones. This helps in a great way to keep the resources of the city on good terms with more greenery, lesser traffic, and a lot more other amenities.

Advantages  

Even though the FSI is considered as the restricted concept it carries its own benefits at the places where construction is taking place rapidly. Let’s see some of the basic advantages of F.S.I,

 It serves as a medium to maintain the ratio of open space and the built-up space.

 It is one of the many factors that maintain the city skyline.

 An average F.S.I illustration is the key for a better development

 F.S.I maintains the equality between sustainability, growth, and development.
