Who is the platform for?

Everyone at the table: Society Members and Committees, Developers, Architects, Lawyers and Consultants. Each side uses the platform to coordinate documents, feasibility numbers, tenders, agreements, milestones and payments on standardised rails — so the same information flows to every party at the same time.

What does a Feasibility Report actually contain?

A Feasibility Report provides your society's redevelopment potential, estimated member benefits, and possible project economics. It gives clarity on additional area, corpus, rent, and overall financial viability. It helps you understand what you can realistically expect from redevelopment.

A Developer has already approached us. Is it too late?

No — but the window is closing. The most damaging mistakes happen after a Letter of Intent is signed. Get an independent Feasibility first. If the offer is fair, our numbers will confirm that. If it isn't, you will see the gap before you commit.

Does the bot replace your team, or just preview it?

The RedevelopmentGuru bot handles instant Q&A — definitions, ballparks, what-to-ask. Anything that requires a signed deliverable (Feasibility, Tender, Vetting) is produced by our human CA-led team within 48 hours. Bot first. People where it matters.

Do you work outside Pune?

Our regulatory depth is in Pune and PCMC UDCPR today. Nashik and Thane/ Sambhaji nagar engagements have already shipped. Message us — we'll be upfront about what we can deliver.

Phase 01

Your society decides to redevelop

What this means for you

You get a chance to move into a brand new, safe building.

This is where it all begins. You and your neighbours talk about whether your building should be redeveloped — perhaps it is old, needs repairs, or members want more space. The government also encourages redevelopment of old buildings for the safety of residents.

All decisions must follow the 4th July 2019 Government Guidelines from the very start.

Steps — how this unfolds

Talk openly with your neighbours and managing committee about the idea of redevelopment
Discuss the reasons — is the building old, unsafe, or needing costly repairs?
Check that a majority of members are genuinely interested before moving forward
Remember: all steps must follow the 4th July 2019 Government Guidelines

Phase 02

Get written agreement from all members

What this means for you

You sign a letter confirming you want redevelopment.

Before any official work begins, your society needs written approval from its members. This is done through individual letters, consent forms, and a formal members' meeting called an SGM (Special General Meeting). Think of this as everyone raising their hand and putting it in writing.

Steps — how this unfolds

Each member writes and signs a letter saying they want redevelopment
All members fill and sign a Consent Form — your official written agreement
Your society holds an SGM and votes to approve redevelopment
Once approved, your committee calls for price quotes from PMCs and Architects

SGM required· This phase ends with a vote at a Special General Meeting.

Phase 03

Appoint your PMC and Architect

What this means for you

Experts are now hired to guide your society at every step.

A PMC (Project Management Consultant) and an Architect are the two key professionals who will guide your society through the entire redevelopment process. They help you understand what is possible, what is fair, and what to watch out for. Choose them carefully — they work for your society, not the developer.

Steps — how this unfolds

Your committee reviews all price quotes received from PMCs and Architects
Compare their experience, past projects, and fees — do not just go with the cheapest
Hold an SGM and members vote to appoint the chosen PMC and Architect
The appointment must follow the process given in the Government Guidelines

SGM required· This phase ends with a vote at a Special General Meeting.
