Selection of PMC - Criteria for selection of PMC

Criteria of selection of PMC 

Common things asked from PMC by society  

• Company profile 
• Details of on going or completed projects 
• Qualifications & Experience details 
• Other details such as license numbers, registration details etc.

But As a society member one should ask for following things from PMC other than above mentioned details

Following Documentary Evidences of Reports generated for other societies should always be asked for or should be checked in their office. 

PMC's Reports of Selection of Developer 

This will give you fair idea of their role in selection of developers and society can easily judge if they were biased or not . It will also give an idea to society how PMC's expertise helped society in selecting good Developer. 

PMC's Report of Approval of Plans

This will give clear idea of main points of Plans highlighted to society or all details of planning brought to the notice of society by PMC.

Site Visit Reports - Ask for any random monthly/weekly reports given by PMC to society 

This will give clear idea of PMC's actual role played in the project during the construction stage and approvals stage. From these reports you can easily understand how PMC made the difference to the project and drawn society's attention towards shortcomings by developer if any.

If society study such few reports of at least three/four different societies they can easily judge their capabilities. Ask for anything and everything from PMC , judge your PMC from their actual work done for other societies and not by only profiles .

Housing Society Redevelopment guidelines

 Points to remember for success of Redevelopment of housing society

Beware of dicey offers , The proposal received from the Developers should commensurate with the potential of the Plot taken for redevelopment as per PMC/Architect’s project report.

Many projects suffer later after getting finalized, the Builder should be strictly chosen on the basis of his Financial Capacity and Track Record and not on the basis of the highest offer received, builder's integrity is most important.

Selection of a developer should be done as per the 79(a) guidelines , through Tendering only,  Tenders received should be objectively evaluated by an experienced Architect of PMC appointed by the Society.

Members involvement is most important in redevelopment projects , All the members of the Society should give their irrevocable Consents to avoid disputes later.

 Avoid ambiguous offers of developers , Complete details of the offers made by the Developer should be clearly understood by all the members of the Society and there should be transparency in the dealings.

  More members should be involved in the entire process of redevelopment by forming redevelopment committee. Redevelopment Committee should be formed from among the other members of the Society by including two or three members from the Managing Committee to oversee the entire Redevelopment process to ensure that complete transparency is maintained by the Managing Committee of the Society. 

  competent lawyer/solicitor should be independent entity appointed by society and not a developer. All Agreements / Documents should be got scrutinized by a competent Advocate appointed by the Society to ensure that there is no lacuna. 

   Society must protect their interest by asking for irrevocable Bank Guarantee for the total cost of the Redevelopment Project should be obtained from the Developer covering the full period of construction. 

 Development agreement should be meticulously drafted by society, Penalty Clause should be inserted in the Redevelopment Agreement to ensure proper implementation of the Project by the Developer. 

Regular joint meetings should happen with PMC's Architect and developer, the Managing Committee and the Redevelopment Committee members should conduct regular inspection when the construction is in process to ensure that there are no deviations from the plans / offers. 

Fungible FSI

D.C.Regulation 35(4)

Compensatory Floor Space Index (FSI):-

Notwithstanding anything contained in the D.C.Regulations 32, 33 & 34, the Commissioner may, by special permission, permit fungible compensatory Floor Space Index, not exceeding 35% for residential development and 20% for Industrial/Commercial development, over and above admissible Floor Space Index,by charging a premium at the rate of 60%, 80% and 100% of the Stamp Duty ReadyRecknor Rate, for Residential, Industrial and Commercial development respectively.

Provided in case of redevelopment under regulation 33(7),33(9) & 33(10) excludingclause no.3.11 of Appendix-IV of Development Control Regulation 1991, thefungible compensatory F.S.I. admissible on rehabilitation component shall be granted without charging premium.

Provided further that redevelopment under D.C.regulations no. 33(5) and redevelopment proposal of existing buildings in suburbs and extended suburbs by availing TDR, the fungible compensatory F.S.I. admissible on F.S.I. consumed in existing structure shall be granted without charging premium.

Provided further that such fungible compensatory FSI for rehabilitation component shall not be used for free sale component and shall be used to give additional area over and above eligible area to the existing tenants / occupants.

Provided, that this regulation shall be applicable in respect of the buildings to be constructed or reconstructed only.

There are many myths about Fungible FSI, or some people interpret the definition differently in their calculations , my suggestion to all members of housing societies to calculate this Fungible FSI in Toto rather than on individual flats , at the same time the effect of 35% excluding 10% balcony area comes lesser than what people expect of pure 35% on their respective carpet areas.

Redevelopment , need of an Hour

WHAT IS REDEVELOPMENT?

Redevelopment is the process of demolishing existing old society building and reconstructing it by appointing a good developer who can construct and handover new flats to the society members free of cost with some additional benefits and make profit by utilizing balance plot potential by constructing additional flats and shops as per approval from M.C.G.M.

ADVANTAGES OF GOING FOR REDEVELOPMENT OVER REPAIRS

Today the societies are opting to go for redevelopment than repair for the following reasons:
