PENERAPAN VALUE ENGINEERING PADA PROYEK KONSTRUKSI DI SURABAYA

Abstract

ABSTRACT
In many construction projects, stakeholders find difficulties like poor planning of the project, poor material, labor shortages, increased cost of material, unexpected weather changes, and poor communication, etc. Value engineering is a well known and applied concept throughout the world. It is applied in construction as an efficient tool to achieve overall project success. Value engineering (VE) can be denned as a systematic creative study performed on the project, aimed to achieve the project functions needed at the lowest possible cost without sacrificing quality, performance or reliability, and enhancing the performance throughout the life of the project. The objectives of this research are to explore the application of the concept of value engineering in building construction projects Jagir Marketing Galery. The coming part of this research is considered the sequential step towards fulfilling its aim. Through which, the authors were able to analyze and summarize the basic information on the project, including the project names, basic data, and selection criteria. The findings of this paper highlighted there are 21 items task having high cost within cost/worth value more than 2 among them, plafond, main roofing, air cooler, ground floor, and mezzanine floor. From the information phase, function analysis phase, creative phase, and recommendation phase that result shows was observed that it could achieve 16–41% savings of the total project cost which can be helpful for sustainable construction and in reducing the gap between the estimated/planned time and actual time and cost of building constructional projects implementation.
