What is a Feasibility Report in Redevelopment?

In Mumbai, where space is precious and real estate often needs a revamp, redevelopment is key to keeping up with the city’s dynamic needs. But before any redevelopment project begins, there needs to be a comprehensive check to see if the project is worth pursuing. This essential step is done through a feasibility report.

What is a Feasibility Report in Redevelopment?


A feasibility report in redevelopment is an in-depth analysis that estimates if rebuilding or enhancing a property is profitable. In Mumbai, this report takes into account sections of the Development Control and Promotion Regulations (DCPR) to see if a project can maximize its potential while remaining financially sound. However, not all firms handle this step with the same level of detail and care.


This is where Airrises stands out. Unlike other firms that may follow a one-size-fits-all approach and simply apply DCPR regulations without much thought, Airrises rigorously evaluates each project against nearly all applicable sections of the DCPR. This ensures that every ounce of potential from the plot is maximized while remaining compliant with local laws.


Why is a Feasibility Report Important?


A feasibility report is crucial for several reasons:

  • Evaluating Profitability: It provides a clear answer on whether redeveloping a property is worth the time and financial investment.

  • Helping Societies Negotiate: With a detailed report in hand, societies have the leverage to negotiate better terms with developers, ensuring larger or better-designed homes and added amenities.

  • Guiding Developers: Developers rely on feasibility reports to understand if a project will yield the returns they expect.


At Airrises, we go beyond standard practices. We don’t just check profitability; we tailor our approach to understand your specific needs and goals, making sure your project stands out in Mumbai’s competitive market.


Key Components of a Feasibility Report


A feasibility report in Mumbai generally includes several important sections:


1. Comprehensive FSI Analysis

FSI (Floor Space Index) plays a huge role in redevelopment projects. It dictates how much total floor space can be constructed on a plot.


How Airrises Makes a Difference:

  • We don’t just do a basic FSI calculation; we rigorously test against all DCPR provisions, exploring every possibility to maximize buildable space.

  • Our expert team evaluates potential gains through the use of Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) and other applicable DCPR allowances.


2. Cost and Revenue Estimation

This section answers critical questions about the project's financial aspects:

  • Total Costs: Construction, permits, labor, and more.

  • Projected Revenue: Expected earnings from sales or rentals based on the current real estate market.

Airrises' Approach: We use AI-driven tools to provide the most accurate cost and revenue estimates. This enables us to deliver highly reliable and data-backed financial assessments that set the stage for confident decision-making.

3. Rigorous Analysis of DCPR Sections

Many firms might simply check if a project meets DCPR rules at a surface level, but Airrises takes it further. We rigorously test the project against almost all relevant DCPR sections to ensure:


  • Maximum Plot Utilization: We find ways to expand the potential buildable area while staying within legal boundaries.

  • Strategic Advantage: By knowing the specifics of each DCPR section, we help clients gain a strategic edge in redevelopment planning.

4. Market and Demand Analysis

A project may be profitable on paper, but what about real-world demand? This part of the report answers:


  • Is there a demand for the project type in that area?

  • How does the project compare to competitors?


Our AI Tools at Work: Airrises uses advanced AI algorithms to assess market trends, providing insights into the demand and optimal pricing strategy for your project.


5. Potential Gains for Societies

The report is not just for developers—it’s a powerful tool for societies as well. By understanding what the property can achieve:


  • Societies Can Negotiate for Larger Apartments: A clear picture of profitability allows residents to push for larger or more modern living spaces.

  • Added Amenities: Knowing the project’s value helps societies request additional features such as recreational spaces, parking, and enhanced security.


Airrises: Your Partner in Feasibility and Beyond


Why choose Airrises?

  • We Understand Your Needs: Unlike others who follow a template approach, we take the time to understand what societies and developers are looking for and adapt our analysis to meet those needs.

  • Rigor and Detail: We don’t just apply DCPR laws blindly. We carefully test your project against almost all applicable sections, ensuring no opportunity is missed.

  • Structural Audits: We provide detailed structural audits to assess the current condition of buildings, making sure that redevelopment is built on a safe foundation.

  • AI-Enabled Efficiency: Our use of AI tools means faster, more accurate reporting and unparalleled market analysis. We’re proud to be the most efficient consultancy in the market.


What a Feasibility Report Does Not Do


It’s important to understand what a feasibility report won’t cover:


  • Permit Approvals: A feasibility report helps you know if a project is worth it, but you still need to go through the formal process of obtaining permits from local authorities.

  • Structural Safety Assessments: The feasibility report does not include safety checks on whether a building can be demolished or if the land can physically support a taller structure. However, Airrises offers separate structural audits to handle this aspect.


Real-World Example: Feasibility Report in Action


Imagine a society in Andheri with an old four-story building considering redevelopment. The feasibility report provided by Airrises would:


  • Analyze FSI and DCPR Regulations: Show how the plot’s potential can be maximized using allowable FSI and TDR.

  • Provide Detailed Financial Estimates: Include the most accurate projections for costs and revenue.

  • Highlight Potential Gains: Show residents what they could gain in terms of bigger homes and additional amenities.


With our advanced, AI-powered analysis and deep understanding of the DCPR, Airrises would ensure that this society receives a report that not only estimates profitability but sets the groundwork for strong negotiations with developers.


Key Takeaways


  • A feasibility report is an estimation tool: It helps determine if a redevelopment project is financially viable and worth pursuing, with a focus on using DCPR sections to estimate potential.

  • Airrises goes beyond standard practice: We thoroughly test your project against all applicable DCPR sections, ensuring the best use of your plot’s potential.

  • We offer structural audits and AI-enabled services: Providing a comprehensive approach that ensures your project is planned safely and efficiently.

  • Empower societies and developers: Our reports provide the knowledge needed for informed negotiations and strategic planning.
