This document outlines the flow chart process for redeveloping a building in a cooperative housing society in India. It involves numerous steps over many months, including convening meetings, obtaining quotes, approving plans and selecting developers. Key steps include obtaining member requests for redevelopment, hiring consultants, approving project reports, issuing tenders, selecting a developer through a bidding process, signing agreements, submitting plans for approval, and commencing construction. The process aims to obtain member input and approval at various stages to redevelop the building according to local regulations.
