Application of Value Engineering to the Construction Project of An ASN Flat Building in Seram Bagian Barat Regency

Abstract

The ASN apartment building project in West Seram Regency faced significant challenges, especially customary land disputes that caused location changes and design revisions. Initially designed as a three-story linear building, the project was adapted into an L-shaped two-story building to suit the conditions of the new location. This research aims to optimize cost and time efficiency without compromising quality standards through the application of Value Engineering (VE). The methods used include Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) and Function Analysis System Technique (FAST) to analyze the main elements of construction, such as floor slabs, walls, stairs, and formwork. The results show that the use of the knock-down formwork method significantly reduces material costs, speeds up completion time, and minimizes construction waste. In addition, the use of local materials and innovative approaches have been proven to increase project efficiency and sustainability. This research also emphasizes the importance of collaboration between stakeholders and community involvement in overcoming social and cultural challenges. By proving the benefits of VE implementation, this research provides valuable reference for the optimization of construction projects in Indonesia's complex and limited environment.
