Abstract

Infrastructure development in Indonesia is increasing continuously, requiring efficient project management to address cost, time, and quality challenges. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the basement construction at Gatot Subroto BRI Tower project in South Jakarta, with a budget of USD 54,021,493.20. Changes in construction methods, from ground anchors to island-type strutting and steel platform, were analyzed using value engineering (VE) techniques. A combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, using Pareto Analysis and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), was applied to evaluate alternative construction methods for cost efficiency. The results showed that steel platform method wasthe most effective, achieving cost savings of USD 257,010.56 (26.7% reduction) and a lower total Life Cycle Cost (LCC) compared to island-type strutting. This showed the significance of VE in optimizing project costs and improving overall efficiency.
