Why a timeline helps your society
Redevelopment is a long journey with many stages, and most societies go through it only once. Without a map, it is easy to lose track of where you are, what comes next and whether the project is moving at a normal pace. A clear timeline helps your committee set realistic expectations with members, plan general body meetings at the right moments, and prepare documents before they are needed instead of scrambling afterwards. It also protects you from pressure — when a developer or consultant says a step is urgent, you can check where it actually sits in the process. Knowing the road ahead keeps your society calm, informed and in control.
Common questions
How long does each stage of redevelopment take?
There is no fixed schedule — every society and plot is different. Broadly, feasibility studies and the 79A tender process usually take months, while statutory approvals and construction take years. From the first committee meeting to possession, the full journey commonly takes around three to five years, and complicated projects can take longer. The timeline shows a typical duration range for each stage so your committee can plan realistically.
Which stage causes the most delay?
In most projects, the slowest stages are gathering member consents and securing statutory approvals. Consents slow down when members have unanswered doubts, and approvals slow down when documents are incomplete or the society's paperwork is not in order. Both delays are largely preventable — keep members informed from day one, and get your property documents, member records and society files complete before the tender stage begins.
