INTRODUCTION

In carrying out a building or other structure construction project, a fee is required so that the project can run. Before the building owner decides to proceed with the project to the design and construction stage, a budget needs to be prepared in advance (Andriani et al., 2019). This budget is often an obstacle, because it is a limit to the amount of money that must be spent to carry out a construction project. But everyone is interested in saving costs and everyone is trying to find an investment that can generate the maximum return on investment (Amir & Zakia, 2018). The application of value engineering in the field of construction is an approach that is carried out systematically by a team of many disciplines that focuses on value and function. The application of Value Engineering in construction projects has the potential for considerable savings from the project budget. The application of value engineering in construction projects, the techniques and alternatives used are different, this is due to the approach used, cultural conditions, and different procurement systems (Putra et al., 2018). There are still many inefficiencies in the implementation of building construction at this time, so it is necessary to carry out a design review or value engineering so that unnecessary costs and efforts can be eliminated or reduced so that the value or cost of the project can be even more economical. (Syafira et al., 2020).

The plan to build the Ampelsari Reservoir in Ampelsari Village, Pasrepan District, Pasuruan Regency is one of the efforts to conserve water, and use it for raw water needs and irrigation water, as well as reduce flooding (Bahri & Indryani, 2018). The Ampelsari Reservoir is planned to be 14.6 m high, 50.65 m long, with an inundation area of 5,384 m2 and a storage volume of 19,062 m3. Construction of the body of the reservoir is planned in the form of landfill imported from the Borrow Area. The benefits of the reservoir are to supply the raw water needs of the Ampelsari village of 6.39 l/s and also to supply irrigation for the Wijeng Irrigation Area of 88 Ha with a Paddy-Palawija-Palawija cropping pattern with a Planting Index of 260% and an operational reliability of 88%. In addition, the Ampelsari Embung has the potential to reduce flood peaks by 78% with an inflow of 39.92 m3/sec and an outflow of 8.66 m3/sec (Baskara, 2019).

In this research, value engineering analysis will be carried out in the Embung Ampelsari construction plan to determine the most effective and efficient construction design alternatives. So that it can determine the amount of construction cost savings with the application of value engineering (Bertolini et al., 2015).

Value Engineering (Value Engineering)

Value engineering is the systematic evaluation of the engineering design of a project to get the most value for each dollar spent. Furthermore, Value Engineering examines and considers the various components of activities such as procurement, fabrication, and construction as well as other activities in relation to costs and functions, with the aim of reducing overall project costs. (Fisk et al., 1982)

The definition of value engineering related to use in construction projects (Zimmerman & Hart, 1982) is:

1.   An Oriented System, an identification technique, eliminates unnecessary costs

2.   A Multidiciplin Team Approach, a cost-saving technique involving the entire team, across multiple fields.

3.   A Proven Management Tecnique, a proven and guaranteed cost saving technique

4.   An Oriented Function, oriented to the function required for each item

5.   Life Cycle Cost Oriented, oriented to the total costs required during the production process, optimizing operations.

Information Stage

Pareto Charts

A Pareto chart is a bar chart combined with a line chart to show a parameter being measured. It can be a frequency of occurrence or a certain value, so that the dominant parameter can be identified. Become a standard method in quality control in order to get maximum results. Also considered as a form of a simple approach that is easily understood by workers, and can be used as a solution tool in complex fields (Diputera et al., 2018).

The Pareto principle is a logical approach to a probability distribution that has a strong rule of thumb that coincides with the social sciences, science, geophysics, and those related to estimation. Often referred to as the 80-20 principle. This is because this principle states that about 80% of results are actually produced by 20% of inputs or drives (Ani Firda, 2018).

 

Cost/Worth Ratio

The function analysis process uses the Cost/Worth (C/W) ratio equation which analyzes the cost of elements with the cost of the function of these elements (Retno & Hastuti, 2002).

Index Function Analysis = Cost / Worth

Where cost is the total cost of a work item and worth is a form of cost that only has a functional value to that work item. In the function analysis stage, if the index value is obtained > 1, then some of these work items have the potential to be carried out by Value Engineering. A high cost-to-worth ratio for a work item indicates that the work item has high cost savings, and will be selected for further analysis (Khamim & Harsanti, 2015).

Analysis Stage

Zero - One matrix

The zero-one matrix is a decision-making method that aims to determine the priority order of functions (criteria). The principle of this method is to determine the relativity of a "more important" or "less important" function to other functions. Functions that are "more important" are given a value of one, while values that are "less important" are given a value of zero (Mahyuddin, 2020). Then by comparison an index will be obtained for each criterion which will later become a calculation parameter in determining the value of decision making for each alternative based on predetermined criteria. (Julien, 1999)

 

RESEARCH METHOD

The subject of this study was the planning for the development of the Ampelsari Embung in Ampelsari Village, Pasrepan District, Pasuruan Regency, East Java Province, and the researchers made a comparison of the initial designs by analyzing alternative construction designs, calculating the volume of work and calculating the construction costs of all design alternatives.

In the function analysis stage, it is obtained that the index value of the Cost/Worth ratio is obtained > 1, so the work item has the potential for value engineering analysis to be carried out at a later stage.

Based on the results of the analysis of the Pareto Chart and the Cost/Worth Ratio, it is known that there are 4 (four) types of work that have the potential to carry out value engineering analysis. However, for the type of pond body work, no further analysis is carried out, because the work item for selected landfills at a distance of 10 km is a work item that is planned to be taken from the quarry area at a distance of 10 km, which has been analyzed and determined during the initial design planning, starting from soil data, stability and sufficient volume availability for homogeneous backfill embankment material. So that 3 (three) types of work will be carried out in the next stage of value engineering at the creative stage. that is:

1.   Spillway Work

2.   Gate Valve Homework

3.   Reservoir Work (Reservoir)

 

Creative Stage

The creative stage is to formulate and think about other alternatives that can fulfill the same use or function as the initial plan. Based on the results of the analysis at the information stage, the types and items of work that can be carried out by design alternatives are obtained, including the following:

The final stage of the value engineering process, which consists of preparing and presenting the conclusions of the value engineering analysis results. Reports prioritize facts and information to support arguments. The results of the analysis of the application of value engineering determined the type of work on the construction of the reservoir that could be value engineered, including:

1.       Overflow work, the initial design is in the form of masonry work items 1PC: 4PP with alternative designs chosen to be K-225 Reinforced Concrete and Cyclop Concrete (A3), from an initial design fee of Rp. 5,693,832,457.09 after engineering the value of the cost to Rp. 5,497,207,098.27 there is a cost savings of Rp. 196,625,358.82 or 3.45%.

2.       Gate Valve Homework, the initial design is in the form of masonry work items 1PC: 4PP with alternative designs chosen to be Rebate Concrete and U-Ditch 30 x 30 (B3), from an initial design fee of Rp. 2,183,572,627.64 after engineering the value of the cost to Rp. 1,541,912,231.04 there is a cost savings of Rp. 641,660,396.60 or 29.39%.

3.       Reservoir work, the initial design was in the form of a 2.5 diameter GIP pipe work item with an alternative design chosen to be dia HDPE pipe. 2.5" (C2), from the initial design cost of Rp. 1,491,079,673.45 after engineering the cost value to Rp. 705,202,725.22 there was a cost savings of Rp. 785,876,948.23 or 52.71 %.

So that the overall construction cost of the initial design project is Rp. 17,557,422,182.35 after the application of value engineering with the selected alternative designs amounted to Rp.15,933,259,478.70. There is an overall saving in project construction costs of IDR 1,624,162,703.65 or 9.25% of the entire initial design cost.
