TIME-COST TRADE-OFF ANALYSIS FOR ACEH HOUSING AGENCY BUILDING PROJECT

The Construction Project of Building A for the Aceh Public Housing and SettlementAgency is at risk of significant delays, with the contract period ending on December 8, 2024, while construction progress lags behind schedule.This study applies the Time Cost Trade-Off (TCTO) method to address project delays by accelerating work.Key issues analyzed include the application of TCTO in the project, identifying the best alternative work item designs, and measuring time and cost savings achieved through the method.The research aims to optimize time and cost, propose the most effective strategies, and assess project efficiency post-acceleration.TCTO strategies employed include adding work hours (overtime), increasing the workforce, and accepting additional costs.Results indicate that increasing the workforce reduces project duration by 111 days, saving 234,448,804 IDR in indirect costs.Alternatively, extending work hours also achieves the same duration reduction but increases labor costs by 294,661,868 IDR.Time efficiency reaches 21.428%, while cost efficiency is recorded at 1.591%.The accelerated project duration totals 407 days, with a final cost of 14,493,479,876 IDR.These findings corroborate previous studies, affirming the effectiveness of TCTO in mitigating project delays.Time-Cost Trade-Off Analysis for Aceh Housing Agency Building Project https://iaeme.com
