As you may already know, in Maharashtra state, gunthewari is a traditional method used to measure land. Eventually, the Gunthewari Regulation Act was enacted by the Maharashtra state government in August 2001. In the same vein, they were given the benefit of Gunthewari Yojana before 01 January 2001. Whereas,  on 7th January 2020, the Maharashtra cabinet gives approval for regularization lakhs of gunthewari constructions. To sum up, this decision of state government taken to regularize the gunthewari schemes in the state till 31st December 2021. 

Gunthewari for various types

You can do the gunthewari for various types. For instance, gunthewari can be done for the open land, building and flats.

Can I do Gunthewari now?

As of dated, 7th January 2021,  Gunthewari yet not started. Consequently,  Maharashtra cabinet gives approval for the same. And will start it sooner.

Charges for Gunthewari

The regularization of gunthewari development is subject to the prior  payment of compounding fee and development charges may be determined by the state government from time to time.. That is to say, the charges for gunthewari is yet not declared. 

List of Documents for  Required for Gunthewari

The following documents are required for Gunthewari  to submit along with the application as follows

1. 7/12 Extract
2. Mojani.
3. Existing layout plan.
4. Rectification plan
5. An undertaking by the applicant to rectify compoundable infringements
6. Building Plan as per site condition
7. Other Land Ownership Documents
8. Demand draft, drawn on any 

Process involved in Gunthewari

With help of license Engineer of liaisoning architect the concerned plot holder shall apply for regularization of gunthewari development . however, the file with all the necessary documents is to be submitted to the local planning authority. After that, the planning authority shall scrutinize the case for fulfillment of the stipulated requirements  and thereafter issue a certificate of regularization.

Benefits of Gunthewari development

Well, gunthewari developments are unlawful and there is an obvious need to curb such development, at the same time. Whereas, its not desirable to demolish on a mass scale of the old and long existing constructions  made on gunthewari plots. The followings are the benefits of regularizing the gunthewari yojana as follows-

1. The prime and very important benefit of regularizing the gunthewari schemes is, whatever illegal you have bult I becomes legal
2. It  increases the valuation of property.
3. If you are regularizing the open plot then it also increases the FSI of the plot.

Sample Gunthewari certificate

Introduction

Construction in India involves a multitude of different factors. These factors involve the purchase of land, design procedures, permissions, construction, and post-construction operations and maintenance. For any construction project to be successful, the most important aspect is it’s finance. Project/ Construction budgeting is an essential element of a construction project and it’s management. 

What is the construction budget?

A construction budget is an estimate of overall costs incurred during the construction of a building. A construction budget involves every cost essential for the completion of a project. The construction budget is the allocation of resources majorly money with other resources such as Man, materials, machinery, and time required for the completion of a project in a specified time. 

Why is construction budgeting important?

A budget provides a glimpse of a project’s viability, sustenance and it’s success. Analyzing finances before the start of a project gives an upper hand in terms of overall financial planning, and decision-making regarding the quality and quantity of the project. Here are a few reasons why construction budgeting is important: 

• Financial budgeting: Budget creation allows an individual to plan expenses across the timeline of a project and allocate funds accordingly. It helps in setting realistic goals and keeping track of expenses. 
• Control over cost: As the budget is decided minutely, one can have control over expenses. One can prevent unnecessary expenses, make informed decisions, and hold onto cost-saving opportunities. 
• Prioritising needs and wants: Budgeting will help allocate funds according to priority to the most essential. It helps in understanding the need for certain expenses and getting rid of unnecessary wants according to the budget. 
• Avoiding pitfalls: A project spans for longer than a year and there can be certain surprises and expenditures during the construction. A well-planned budget helps to avoid such unexpected costs. It helps to plan the cost of contingencies that may arise during construction.

Steps to create a construction budget

• Project Research: The first step is to analyse the project goals and requirements. Evaluate the project feasibility by checking site conditions, zoning, permit requirements, location, and availability of construction materials. 

• Project Scope: Meet with engineers and architects to determine the scope and design options for the project. Create a detailed list of materials that will be needed. Reach out to contractors and suppliers to check with material costs and supply timeline. 

• Pre-construction and documentation: Before initiation of construction, 
• Meet all the stakeholders to discuss the project, material list, and cost overheads.
• Document these and create an intensive list of items, their costs, supply timelines construction timelines to avoid overruns, and reduce risks during construction. 
• Make use of technology by having templates made by project management professionals for the creation of a construction budget. 

• Construction and close-out: Keep track of the budget during the construction phase. Monitor actual costs against projected costs. Identify any issues and change any deviation according to budget or schedule. Keep track of deliverables from contractors and suppliers to make timely payments and have a closure to the project.

How to do construction budgeting?

There are different approaches to the process of budget making. 

• Bottom-up/ Unit cost estimation:  In this method of estimation, the work is divided into small work heads. A unit price is established for each piece. The unit price is then multiplied by the required quantity to find the cost of that head. This method provides the most accurate results of projected construction costs. 
  For example, the cost to build a brick wall can be accurately determined by finding the number of bricks required and estimating all costs related to delivering, storing, staging, cutting, installing, and cleaning the brick along with related units of accessories such as reinforcing ties, weep-holes, flashings. 

• Top-down/ Assembly estimation: In this method of estimation, the cost is calculated based on the previous project cost which is similar in nature of construction. 
  For example, if there is a residential project with piles footing to be done, the cost is estimated by referring to the construction cost of earlier completed similar projects for that head. Usually, this is not much reliable due to different factors like a timeline of both projects, fluctuating material costs, labour cost. 

• Parametric estimation: This method of estimation uses historical data to calculate the resources needed. This method uses more project data of similar building types to estimate the construction cost along with specifications of materials with their costs. This estimating method requires the assumption of an approximate gross area for the proposed work and a sufficient historical record of similar building types.

• Square foot estimation: In this method of estimation, the cost of the overall project is calculated based on the square feet area of the project built-up. The estimation requires data from previous similar construction types with proper and sufficient knowledge as well as experience of the construction field. 

Factors to consider for construction budgeting

• Property: One of the most important factors is the property. The rate of property varies based on it’s location, project scope, and vicinity. The land value is not just the value of property but also includes the cost of acquisition if there’s any. The property cost is a capital cost that is one-time investment. To calculate the overall budget of the project, the projection of this capital cost plays a very important role.

• Fees and services: A construction project requires a wide range of professional consultations and services. Depending on the scope, size, and requirement, one may be required to hire professionals including architects, engineer, landscape architect, Mechanical Electrical Plumbing consultant, surveyor, project manager, interior designer and many other consultants. Hiring professionals will incur service costs that are to be taken into account while working on the budget.
  With service costs, there are also fees that includes registration fees, building permission fees, occupancy certificate fees, No objection certificates, and other government service fees. 
  It is important to get highly detailed construction drawings for accurate estimation. Depending on the scale of project, the service fees to service provider may increase, and also other government costs may increase as well.

• Design: The cost of project depend on it’s design, soil conditions and use. Based on the design of project, the cost can vary. Like larger span between columns may give you bigger spaces but the steel design becomes heavy. So, finding balance between design and technicality is important. 
  For example, with extended cantilevers, the steel and concrete design will increase leading to increase in construction cost. 
  Also, based on soil conditions, type of foundation will be decided which will further affect the cost of construction. 

• Material: Material accounts for one of the most significant parts of the construction budget. The material required for the construction varies as per the stage of construction. The list of materials is extensive some heads common for most construction projects and with some heads that are project-specific based on design requirements. 
  The cost of a few materials is fixed while some materials have fluctuating costs based on market value, it is important to study the trends of that specific material and calculate the average cost for such materials. 
  Sourcing materials from reputable suppliers ensures quality construction and longevity of the project. Also, the procurement cost of materials depends on the accessibility of location. 
  Make a intensive list of all the materials from site preparation to beautification of the project including foundation, structural costs, interior finishes and fixtures, external works, and landscaping. 

• Labour: Any construction project to be completed, labour is a fundamental aspect. Hire contractors, sub-contractors, labour according to the requirement on site. One of the most challenging aspect of cost estimation is calculating construction labour costs. When calculating labour budget, keep in mind the true cost of human resources, including:
• Hourly wages both for employees and subcontractors
• Workers’ compensation costs and payroll expenses for employees
• Non-productive time and re-work, though these costs can also fall under a contingency budget

RCC contractors charge 10% of the project cost, electrical contractors charge based on square feet area of project, plumbing contractors charge based on number of toilets, Landscape contractors charge based on cost of plants/trees, structural consultant charge between INR 3 to INR 10 per square feet of slab area.

• Equipment and Tools: There are two ways this cost can be calculated. One if the contractor provides equipment and tools, the cost will be considered accordingly whereas if you plan to purchase equipment then the cost of equipment and tools have to be calculated separately. For large-scale projects, heavy equipment can be rented, and rental costs based on location and time should be calculated. 
  There could be operating costs, and fuel costs for certain equipment which should be taken into account. 

• Management & Technology: Construction projects require people who can manage the project technically. These members require their own equipment and supplies to perform their jobs. Salaries, office rent, and utilities have to be included in the construction budget. Security staff, safety supplies, and all other support roles and materials are also part of project management costs.
  There are new technologies for project management and construction. Many companies today use project management, accounting and scheduling software. These soft costs aren’t directly related to physical construction, but they are critical expenses you incur to get the job done.

• Utilities & Taxes: As per the scale of the project, utilities have been installed on the project site like water, electricity, sewage, and gas. These utilities have their permit and service fees that must be factored into the overall construction budget.
  The construction project will be subjected to local and state level taxes. Tax rates depend on the scope and type of construction, with larger construction investments subject to more tax. Be sure to work with a certified professional accountant who is experienced in construction finance to ensure you’re properly accounting for all taxes.

• Contingency: Even after accurate and technical planning of the budget, there will be surprises and unexpected scenarios during construction. It’s crucial to include a contingency budget in the overall construction budget. A contingency budget is funding set aside to pay for unexpected expenses that arise once the project gets started. A contingency fund isn’t allocated to any particular category of costs. 
  A contingency budget is usually between 5% and 10% of the project’s total budget.

• Insurance and bonds: Construction projects legally required to carry insurance. There might also be a deposit or bond required as a show of faith that your company is going to follow through and ensure all subcontractors, tradespeople, and suppliers are paid. This is especially true if working on a governmental project.

Things to avoid when planning the construction budget

• Inaccurate estimates: While planning the construction budget, estimates are to be planned according to current market prices. It is important to study the market cost and have accurate costings. 
• Poor quality: While estimating, usually one tends to look for the cheapest option.  But one needs to be careful of the quality of the material. 
• Miscommunication: During the process of making the budget and after, communication plays an important role. The contractors, labour, managers, and suppliers must be in the communication loop for the timely and successful completion of the project. 
• Delays: Even after making an accurate construction budget, the cost of a project can go haywire if there are project delays. Natural delays are beyond our control but one must avoid delays due to decision-making, procurement delays. 

The construction cost per square foot in India in 2024 is influenced by a multitude of expenses ranging from land acquisition and design fees to material costs, labor expenses, structural elements, interior finishes, and external works. It is important to understand the detailed list of expenses that are involved in construction. Careful planning, budgeting, and managing expenses can ensure the successful completion of their project with their decided budget constraints.

It’s not just about creating a budget; it’s about following it, reviewing it regularly, and amending it when necessary. After all, a comprehensive construction budget is dynamic and must serve as an active financial management tool throughout the span of your project!

Know More About Title and Search Report

 A title and search report of property is a certificate or search report of the property that states whether the land have any debt or any financial liability or any sort of burden. A title search report (Also known as a Land search report) is very important in many cases such as to check the legal ownership and incase of disputed land.

What is Title and Search Report?

The title and search report of the property is a certificate stating the ownership of the land. This can be obtained from the advocate of the owner of the property and one can have his advocate inspect the report to find and make sure the title of the property.

Who conducts a Title Search and Issues a Report?         

It is obtained from the advocate. First, the essential documents such as Ferfar (Transfer of deed), and 7/12 certificate are collected. Then he checks the history from the document like the Loan history of the land, dispute of the land, etc. If the title and search report are required for 30 years then the 30-year-old records of Ferfarare generated. Generally, Search Reports and Title certificates for 13 years and 30 years are considered. Then the advocate gives the Title deed based on the available data.

When Title search report of the property is required?

In the process of buying and selling property; one who is buying the property asks for the title search report of the property and only after that decides to buy the property. The Title clear land is very important. It is also important in changing the ownership of the property for ex. handing the ownership from husband to wife, Father to son, etc.  These records are kept in ‘ferfar’ means transfer of deed. A title clear report is important in the land registry, Building permission sanctions, when you need the bank loan, and also during RERA registration of projects.

What are the document requirements for this service?

Mainly there are two documents required to obtain the Search and Title report – the 7/12 certificate (7/12 Extract) and Ferfar (Transfer of deed certificate)

• Ferfar (Mutation entries) is for checking the ownership transfer history.
• 7/12 Certificate shows the information about lands such as survey number, area, and many more.

With this minimum list of certificates, you can obtain a search and title report from a registered advocate.

Step by step Process for procuring search report –

1. Obtain the Ferfar certificate from the government revenue department.
2. Obtain the 7/12 for the number of years you want (the certificate for 7/12 can be generated online and also obtained from the Talathi office after application).
3. Then advocate studies the documents and drafts a detailed document about the land. For example change of ownership of the land, adjoining land on east, west north, and south (road, plot, etc). It is also records loan history of the bank, if it is clear of all debts or not. If the loan is not clear then it is also recorded.
4. After that, the advocate takes the sign and stamp of the concerned authority and registers the Title and Search Report. Then advocates issue the final land search report.

Title search reports various requirement              

In the case of buying and selling of the property, the buyer may ask for the deed title and then the seller has to provide the certificate title search to the buyer. It is equally important in other aspects such as bank loans, Rera registration, etc. When someone applies for a bank loan the bank asks for a title search report for 30 years. It is also important to obtain the building permission. For the building permission, the property title report is required for 30 and 50 years. It changes from corporation to corporation. The clean title search helps the buyer to make the further decision.  The search report of the property is equally important in the transfer of ownership land registry.

Time Required for the Process of Getting Title Search Report 

The time required for getting 7/12 and the transfer of deed means the certificate is 2 to 4 days. And to create a report it takes 2 to 5 days for the advocate. So in total to obtain a Deed of Title is the process of one week.

Consultant fees to get title search report

It varies from the area of the plot to and location of the plot. It starts from Rs 4000 and can go up to 40,000. As the work is private so cost varies according to the quality of the work. Also, the title search report cost in Pune varies for different service providers.

What all services do advocates can offer in land and construction?

Advocate deed, gift deed, deed of transfer of ownership, etc Advocates in Pune can help you with services like building stay orders, complaints against stay orders, compliance of any legal document related to land ownership, and having a big role in land deals & construction-related services. Sale deed, transfer deed, conveyance.

Whenever you see a town planning map or a blue print, you come across various terms like open space, amenity space. Here is details explanation in common man’s language for construction related building rules. 

FSI (Floor Space Index)

1. In general language FSI means permissible built up area on any plot. It is calculated by dividing Built up area by Plot Area.
2. FSI = built up area/Plot area.
3. E.g. – If permissible FSI for a plot of 1000 Sqft. is 1.10, then we can construct 1100 Sqft. of built up area. (say 225 Sqft on 4 floors or 550SqFt on 2 floors)
4. Ducts, Parking floor, basement, architectural treatment are not considered while calculating FSI.
5. Depending upon planning authority by-laws, balcony, terrace, staircase, lift, lift machine room are deducted from FSI on payment of premium.

Check FSI in pune https://foot2feet.com/construction-calculator/pmc/fsi-in-pune/ 

Open Space

1. Open space is the space left for recreational activities for the user of that plot. It remains part of the same land under ownership of society.
2. Generally we have to leave 10% of total plot area for any building or layout permission.
3. Depending upon by-laws smaller plots, gunthewari plots, N.A. plots do not require open space area.

Amenity space

1. Generally for plot above 1 acre require 15% amenity space.
2. Amenity space is a space to be left for government for planning various public amenities like school, hospital library, fire stations, police chowki etc.
3. This space is to be handed over to govt. and owner gets FSI as compensation for land. (In short there is only loss of space but no loss of FSI)
4. N.A. plots and smaller plots do not require amenity space.

Paid FSI (Fungible FSI)

1. It is additional FSI on any plot after payment of premium amount to planning authority.
2. This premium amount depends upon ready reckoner rate of same land.

TDR (Transferable development rights)

1. Due to planning authority reservations FSI of one land cannot be utilized entirely on same plot. Hence Government allow plot holder to sell or transfer FSI of his plot. This is called Transferable Development Rights. Buying TDR is like buying virtual land.
2. Buyer of TDR can do extra construction on his land.
3. One cannot load more TDR than permissible on that land. Maximum Permissible TDR on any plot depends upon Access Road, Land Zone etc… 

Checkout The detail information about Transferable Development Rights (TDR) https://foot2feet.com/site/tdr_transferable_development_rights/ 

Road Widening

1. Area of plot falling under proposed or existing road is called as road widening area.
2. FSI of this area can be utilized on same plot or converted into TDR.

Carpet area

1. Before RERA Carpet area was considered as tile able area in property. It includes room floor area, Balcony area, terrace area, tile area at door jams etc…
2. But After RERA (Real Estate Regulatory Act 2016) have modified carpet area concept a bit.
3. According to RERA, carpet area include following things
4. Room Area
5. Internal wall area (wall between 2 rooms of same apartment)
6. Dry balcony area (separately mentioned)
7. Enclosed Balcony area (separately shown if any)
8. Terrace area (separately mentioned) the only difference between RERA carpet & old carpet is that internal wall area is added in RERA carpet.

Built up Area

1. Built up area term is most commonly used term in constriction industry. & at same time it has various meaning at various situations. Hence it is necessary to clarify area included or excluded while discussing with built up area. eg –
2. For government approvals it is the area covered by a building on all floors including cantilevered portion, mezzanine floors if any but excepting the areas excluded specifically from FSI.
3. For buyer / user – It is usable construction area which includes parking, floor area, but excluding footing & foundation area.
4. For contractor it is total construction area including parking, 50 % footing, water tank etc.., but excluding top terrace area.

Conveyance Deed

Any construction consists of 2 most important factors first is b.up area & 2nd is land on which building is constructed. After completion of construction builder/developer was supposed to transfer land in name of society (or association of apartment).  This transfer process is called as conveyance deed. A survey shows that in almost 80% society this process was not completed.

You can check the more information about conveyance deed here https://foot2feet.com/construction-services/legal-services/conveyance-deed/

Building Control Line

It is the line up to which we can build construction according to planning authority / or any government authority. 

Non Agriculture (NA)

1. Any land (except land in Gaothan area) is by default agriculture land in India. It is assumed as non-agriculture land only and only after taking NA permission (Non Agricultural use permission) from collector.
2. A copy of land conversion is called as NA order.
3. For NA land zone plays important role. (Agriculture, industrial , residential)
4. Depend upon zone NA can be done. Eg – Industrial NA, farmhouse NA, residential NA, commercial NA.
5. NA and R-zone are commonly misunderstood.
6. In simple words, NA is procedure to change tax on any land due to change in use of land.
7. NA land not necessary to be residential land all time, and similarly residential land not necessarily to be NA land.
8. A land which is in residential zone, but its use according to collector/revenue department is agriculture, then the land is not NA. (but this land can be converted into NA after completing NA procedure.)

You can Check more information about Non Agriculture here - https://foot2feet.com/site/na_order_land_conversion/

Side Margin

Side margin is distance to be kept from plot boundary to building line as per Regulations. Calculate how much side margin you need to keep for your building. 

https://foot2feet.com/construction-calculator/pmc/side-margin-calculator/ 

Ready Reckoner Rate

Government rates of land, property is called as ready reckoner rate. These rates are published and regulated by the respective state government. Find Out Ready Reckoner Rates in Pune here - http://www.igrmaharashtra.gov.in/eASR/frmMap.aspx 

R zone (Residential)

It is a zone demarcated as residential area in development plan mostly it shown in yellow color any agriculture land cannot converted in residential zone it agriculture/vanikaran land must pass certain criteria for zone conversion. you can use our site feasibility service to know  whether your land can be converted or not. 

You can check all Types of Land zone

Residential zones – R1 / R2

1. Residential Zone R1 includes Residential plots abutting on roads below 9 m. in congested area and below 12 m. width in outside congested area
2. Residential Zone R2 includes Residential plots abutting on road having existing or proposed width 9 m. and above in congested area and 12 m. and above in outside congested area.

Zone certificate or zoning certificate is a document which tells zone of whole Survey number or gut number. Remember, zone certificate is not for a particular plot, it gives idea of whole Survey Number.

Example – If a Survey Number is affected by a 24 M road, one side of road is agriculture zone & other side is residential zone, then zone certificate will mention that the survey number includes Part residential zone, part agriculture zone & a 24.0 M wide road.

But it will not tell exact zone of your plot alone. To know exact zone of plot you have to take zoning demarcation in which authority will mark zone colour codes on your mojani certificate copy.

What is Zone Certificate ?

It’s a particular survey number of document by which any one can know about reservations mentioned in the DP. Zone certificate indicates the zones of land such as residential, Industrial Commercial, Agriculture and other details of the land like water bodies, and flood line.

Why Zone certificate is required?

This is required in order to facilitate the proper use of land for different purposes. Each zone is assigned for a specific purpose like residential, industrial, commercial, Agriculture etc. So to know the status of land to do further construction Zone Certificate is required.

Zone Certificate ensures that lands are properly marked for a specific purpose so that a particular zone intended for a specific purpose is not used for a different one.

How to get zone certificate online?

7/12 Extract is the essential document to get the zone certificate which indicates the ownership of land and all details of particular plot for which zoning certificate is required. For PMRDA we have to do online application. An application to Pune Corporation or respective authority is a way to get zone certificate.

Foot2Feet can help you in getting zone certificate in Pune, in PMRDA, in PCMC, in Maharashtra, in Thane, in Mumbai, in Pimpri Chinchwad or any municipal council, corporation & town planning or special planning authority like MMRDA.

How to download zone certificate?

Zone certificate cannot be downloaded. Basically, there is a process of Zone certificate in any city or for any location. Respective planning authority can give zone certificate.

In PMRDA there is an online process for Zone Certificate. We get the certificate within 7/8 working days from date of application. While in PMC, there is an offline process and we get the certificate within 4/5 working days from the date of application.

Zone Certificate Charges

To get zone certificate legal fees of 500 Rs has to be paid to government. Other charges like consultant’s fees & cost of getting 7/12 are separate.

Zone Conversion

Know More about Zone Conversion

Zone change is the process of changing the current zone to the different zone, for instance for agricultural use to non- agricultural use, residential use to commercial use etc. However, a plot owner can do request to change the zone of the property he owes, for its different uses.

Role of Scrutiny Committee in zone Change

A proposal scrutiny committee is being constituted as per the accompanying schedule to scrutinize the proposals for change of use department in the approved regional plan and make recommendations to the government. In the same vein, The approved regional plan, the committee should handle the proposal to change the use of non-development area to residential, commercial sector, public / semi-public sector to residential sector, residential sector to industrial sector, and forest department to include lands with less than 1: 5 slopes in agriculture department.

What is the process for zone Change?

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.

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?
