PENERAPAN METODE VALUE ENGINEERING UNTUK OPTIMALISASI BIAYA PADA PROYEK LANJUTAN PEMBANGUNAN GEDUNG PLUT PASURUHAN

The construction of the Integrated Business Service Center for Cooperatives
and micro small and medium enterprises in Pasuruan City is a strategic step by the
government in supporting micro small and medium enterprises. However, the
project was halted for five years due to a corruption case, causing the building to
be abandoned and causing state budget losses. From this background, The
application of the Value Engineering method can help identify alternative
architectural and material work in the continuation project of the PLUT Building
construction and cost savings that can be achieved through the application of the
Value Engineering method in the project.. The objectives of the research are to
analyze the application of the Value Engineering method in determining alternative
work and more economical material replacement without reducing the function and
quality of the project, and Calculating the potential cost savings that can be
obtained through the application of the Value Engineering method in the
continuation project of the PLUT Building construction.
The research used is empirical juridical using secondary data analysis such as the
Cost Budget Plan and Work Unit Price Analysis. The analysis was carried out
through systematic stages of Value Engineering, starting from the information stage
(Pareto analysis and Breakdown Cost Model), creative stage, analysis, to the cost
comparison recommendation stage. The results of this study indicate that the
abandonment of the project from 2018 to 2025 resulted in cost escalation due to
inflation of Rp 321,067,459 and asset depreciation of Rp 219,581,300. The
application of Value Engineering resulted in more efficient material alternatives,
such as the use of 3” aluminum frames and gypsum boards for ceilings. This
recommendation succeeded in reducing the cost of architectural work to Rp.
622,155,307.53. Savings of Rp. 4,647,795.87 or 0.74% proves that Value
Engineering can provide efficient technical solutions and is feasible to be applied
to government construction projects.
