Value Engineering in the Implementation of Surajaya Stadium Construction

Abstract

The construction of Surajaya Stadium in Lamongan Regency faces a shortage of implementation costs after 0% Mutual Check calculation. Total contract value of Rp. 252,965,579,881(excluding VAT). This cost shortfall is due to the addition of new volumes and work items to meet FIFA standards. Given that the proposed additional costs could not be approved, value engineering measures were required so that the project could be completed without increasing the cost of the work. The steps taken included: 1) Information Stage, by calculating the percentage of cost against the contract value and focusing on large weighted works, using Pareto; 2) Creative Stage, by designing alternative ideas to fulfill the main function of the stadium; 3) Analysis Stage, which is the analysis of the works to be Value Engineering. The AHP method is also used to help analyze the determination of choices; 4) Recommendation Stage, compiling reports and recommendations for optimal new designs to save costs; and 5) Development Stage, compiling written suggestions for the best alternatives that meet economic and technical criteria to be evaluated and implemented. With this approach, it is expected that the Surajaya Stadium project can be completed within the specified budget. The application of Value Engineering resulted in cost savings of Rp. 2,900,531,720.00 (excluding VAT), as well as implementation time efficiency of up to 41 days. These findings confirm that Value Engineering is effective in improving cost and time efficiency in construction projects.
