Quick answer
Housing society redevelopment in Erandwane follows the Maharashtra government's Section 79A guidelines: a general body resolution, a project management consultant, a transparent tender, and approval by at least 51% of members (most societies aim for consent from all members). Members typically get 20–40% more carpet area, rent during construction and a corpus, and the project takes 30–42 months.

Key takeaways
- Appoint an independent PMC/architect before talking to any builder.
- Compare offers on carpet area, rent, corpus and bank guarantee — not just the headline area.
- Self-redevelopment keeps sale-flat profit with members.
- Approvals in Erandwane go through Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC).
01Why Erandwane societies are redeveloping
Erandwane is a leafy, established area where 1970s societies and bungalows are being redeveloped. Buildings from the 1970s–1990s are reaching the end of their design life, lack lifts and parking, and face rising repair bills. Higher FSI under UDCPR and TDR availability make redevelopment financially attractive.
02The 79A redevelopment process
Follow the government guidelines to keep the process transparent and legally sound:
- Special general body meeting to start the process
- Appoint a project management consultant (PMC) and architect
- Structural audit and feasibility report
- Tender floated; offers from builders or contractors
- Comparison statement shared with all members
- SGM selects the developer with written consent
- Development agreement registered; bank guarantee obtained
- Permissions, shifting, construction and possession
03Builder model vs self-redevelopment
In the builder model, a developer funds the project and keeps the sale flats. In self-redevelopment, the society appoints a contractor, raises finance and sells the extra flats itself — usually leaving members 30–60% more area or a large corpus.
PuneConstructions works as the society's construction partner for self-redevelopment: BOQ-based contract, quality reports to the committee and staged payments linked to progress.
04Construction cost for redevelopment in Erandwane
High-rise RCC construction typically runs ₹2,800–₹4,200 per sq.ft. depending on height, basement parking, podium and finishes. Premiums, TDR, GST and rent to members are separate and must be part of the feasibility.
