Step-by-Step Redevelopment Process
1️⃣ Society’s Decision & Feasibility Study
Before redevelopment begins, society members must come together and assess the condition of the building and whether redevelopment is the best option. A feasibility report is conducted to determine:
✅ Whether the structure is unsafe or outdated
✅ If redevelopment is legally and financially viable
✅ The potential increase in apartment size and amenities
Once members agree, a formal resolution is passed in the General Body Meeting (GBM) with at least 51% member approval, as per redevelopment laws.

2️⃣ Selection of a Reputed Developer
Choosing the right developer is crucial for a smooth redevelopment process. Societies should look for:
🏗️ Experience & Track Record – Developers with successful redevelopment projects
📜 Legal & RERA Compliance – Ensuring all agreements and approvals are in place
🚀 Timely Delivery – A history of on-time project completion
After shortlisting, the developer is selected via a transparent bidding process to ensure the best proposal for the society.
3️⃣ Legal Approvals & Agreement Signing
Once the developer is selected, the society and the builder enter into a Development Agreement, which outlines:
📌 Project timelines & construction details
📌 Rent & compensation for members during construction
📌 Flat size increase & additional benefits
📌 Legal obligations & dispute resolution mechanisms
Additionally, approval from local authorities, RERA, and municipal bodies (e.g., VVCMC in Vasai-Virar) is obtained.
4️⃣ Temporary Relocation & Demolition of Old Building
Residents are provided temporary alternate accommodation or rental compensation while the construction takes place.
🏢 The old building is demolished after:
✔️ Members vacate their flats
✔️ Necessary safety clearances are obtained
✔️ Municipal authorities approve demolition plans
The developer also provides temporary relocation expenses and rental compensation to residents.
5️⃣ Construction of the New Building
Now, the redevelopment project moves into its most important phase – construction. The new building is designed with:
🏡 Modern architecture & spacious layouts
⚡ Eco-friendly & energy-efficient features
🏗️ Earthquake-resistant structures
During construction, regular updates are shared with society members to maintain transparency.
6️⃣ Possession & Handover of New Homes
Once construction is complete, society members receive:
🏠 Newly constructed flats with improved layouts
📜 Occupancy Certificate (OC) and legal handover documents
🎉 Access to upgraded amenities like a gym, security, landscaped gardens, and parking
The entire process is completed within the agreed-upon timeline, ensuring a smooth transition for residents.
