Hello everyone! 😊 Today, let's talk about apartment reconstruction procedures.
If you live in an aging apartment, you might be wondering whether reconstruction is possible and what steps are involved.
Reconstruction isn’t just about tearing down an old building and putting up a new one—it requires a complex and lengthy process.
So today, I’ll walk you through the step-by-step process of apartment reconstruction. Stay tuned! ✨
✅ What Is Apartment Reconstruction?
Apartment reconstruction refers to demolishing an aging residential complex and rebuilding it from scratch.
As buildings age, safety issues arise, and living conditions deteriorate, making reconstruction necessary in certain cases.
However, reconstruction is only allowed if certain conditions are met.
🔹 Eligibility for Reconstruction
1️⃣ At least 30 years have passed since completion (In some areas, this can be reduced to 20 years depending on local regulations).
2️⃣ A safety inspection (structural assessment) must give a "D grade (conditional reconstruction)" or "E grade (immediate reconstruction)".
3️⃣ Approval from at least 75% of property owners.
Now, let’s break down the reconstruction process step by step! 😊
🏗 Step-by-Step Apartment Reconstruction Process
1️⃣ Structural Safety Inspection (Determining Eligibility for Reconstruction)
The first step is undergoing a structural safety inspection to assess the building’s condition.
This inspection evaluates structural integrity, living conditions, and facility aging.
🔹 Assessment Grades
- A~C Grade → No reconstruction needed (Reconstruction NOT allowed ❌)
- D Grade → Conditional reconstruction (Requires approval from local authorities)
- E Grade → Immediate reconstruction approved
👉 You need at least a D grade to proceed with reconstruction.
2️⃣ Establishing a Reconstruction Promotion Committee
If the building passes the safety inspection, the next step is forming a Reconstruction Promotion Committee.
At this stage, approval from at least 10% of property owners is required.
The committee is responsible for preparing the groundwork for reconstruction.
✔ Key Roles of the Committee:
✅ Conducting feasibility studies
✅ Selecting legal and construction advisors
✅ Managing initial administrative procedures
3️⃣ Forming a Reconstruction Association (Requires 75% Owner Approval)
Once the promotion committee is established, a Reconstruction Association must be formed.
To establish this association, at least 75% of property owners must approve.
This association will then oversee the entire reconstruction project.
✔ Main Responsibilities of the Association:
✅ Selecting a construction company
✅ Creating a project plan
✅ Managing the allocation of new housing units
4️⃣ Project Approval & Government Permits
After forming the association, a project plan must be submitted for government approval.
This includes the building’s design, number of units, floor plans, and zoning regulations.
📌 Key Steps in This Phase
✔ Collecting feedback from residents
✔ Establishing compensation plans for displaced tenants
✔ Handling legal and administrative approvals
5️⃣ Management & Allocation Plan Approval
Once the project plan is approved, the Management & Allocation Plan is finalized.
This determines how new housing units will be distributed among current owners and whether they must pay additional costs.
✔ Key Decisions in This Phase
✅ Assigning new apartments to existing residents
✅ Determining additional financial contributions (if any)
✅ Finalizing ownership and compensation details
6️⃣ Relocation & Demolition (Preparing for New Construction)
Once the allocation plan is approved, residents must relocate so the old building can be demolished.
After everyone moves out, the demolition process begins.
✔ Things to Consider Before Demolition
✅ Ensuring all residents have vacated
✅ Removing old infrastructure
✅ Preparing for the new construction phase
7️⃣ New Construction & Final Inspection
With the site cleared, the new apartment complex is built.
Once construction is complete, a final inspection is conducted, and government approval is required before residents can move in.
8️⃣ Move-In & Property Registration
At last, the reconstruction process reaches its final stage! 🎉
After approval, residents can move into their new homes, and ownership transfers are finalized through legal registration.
✔ Things to Do After Moving In
✅ Conduct an inspection for defects and request repairs
✅ Apply for property title registration
📌 Final Thoughts
✅ Reconstruction typically takes over 10 years, so careful planning is essential.
✅ A structural safety inspection must approve the project (D grade or higher is required).
✅ At least 75% of property owners must agree to form a Reconstruction Association.
✅ Once the plan is approved, residents relocate, and demolition begins.
✅ After construction, a final inspection is conducted before moving in.
Apartment reconstruction is a long and complex process,
but if done successfully, it can improve living conditions and increase property value! 😊
