Cost Analysis of Additional Workers in a Pump House Construction Project in Sumenep Regency

Abstract

Delays in construction projects are often significant challenges that can affect the overall success of a project. This study aims to analyze delays in the construction of pump houses in Sumenep Regency using the Critical Path Method (CPM). The objectives of this study are to identify the main factors causing delays, namely material supply delays and labor shortages. The analysis was conducted by measuring the impact of delays on project time and costs, as well as proposing alternative solutions to overcome potential delays in the future. The results of the study indicate that project delays caused an additional two weeks of time, resulting in an increase in the overall project cost of Rp127,571,400 for the SDSM 132 pump house and Rp110,743,800 for the SDSM 171 pump house. In response to these findings, the proposed alternative solutions include schedule optimization, increasing the number of workers on critical paths, and utilizing alternative material suppliers. This study emphasizes the importance of efficient time and resource management to prevent cost accumulation and ensure the project is completed on time.
