Analysis of Modular House Fabrication Technology Application in Subsidized Housing Construction Based on Project Planning

Abstract

Technology in the construction industry is now rapidly developing. Construction technology, which synergies with good construction management, can increase cost efficiency, time, and project quality. In conventional construction methods, there is a high level of uncertainty. The high level of uncertainty impacts poor project control resulting in project delays, high overhead costs, and a decrease in project quality. Modular home fabrication technology was developed to reduce project costs and time and improve project quality. The increasing demand for proper housing is currently encouraging Indonesia’s Government to create a Subsidized Housing Program. ‘Y’ subsidized housing is one of the subsidized housing in Indonesia. The ‘Y’ subsidized housing construction still uses conventional construction. How to compare the achievement of efficiency in cost and time plans as well as project quality between the application of modular home fabrication technology with traditional construction in ‘Y’ subsidized housing construction, with potential project cost savings of 5-15%, acceleration of project duration of 9 months from planning, and inspection the quality of the project is done in stages? The achievement of cost and time efficiency of the project and improving the quality of the project affect the choice of the construction method. Modular home fabrication technology can be implemented if the modular manufacturer meets the criteria. These criteria are: including being qualified in modernization, having a consistent level of productivity, having adequate mobilization, and commitment that is always maintained to see prospects.
