Optimization of Planning and Scheduling of 2-Storey Bird's Nest House Project Using CPM (Critical Path Method)
Abstract
This study examines the planning and scheduling of a two-storey 4x8-meter swallow's nest house construction project located in a semi-rural area. The increasing demand for swallow nests is driving the construction of swallow houses in various regions, but construction implementation often faces delays due to a lack of structured planning. The purpose of this research is to improve the effectiveness of project planning and scheduling through the application of the Critical Path Method (CPM) method. The research uses a quantitative approach with data collection techniques in the form of field observations, interviews, and project documentation. The analysis is performed using Microsoft Project software to structure the work network, calculate the duration, determine the sequence of activities, and identify critical project paths. The results show that the CPM method can accelerate the duration of the project from 62 days to 44 working days with a critical path of A-B-C-D-E-F-G-I activities. The conclusion of this study is that the CPM method is effective in accelerating project implementation, avoiding delays, and providing a more systematic schedule. This method can be applied to small to medium-scale construction projects, especially for the construction of swallow houses.
