Design and Build: Perception of Project Owners and Contractors on Cost in Java, Indonesia
Abstract: Design-build (DB) is
a project delivery that has already been used widely in USA, UK, Singapore and
in other countries. However, it is not widely used in Indonesia and there are
limited studies available on DB. The purpose of this paper is to quantify
project owners’ and contractors’ opinions about the perceived benefits of DB in
terms of cost in Java, Indonesia. The quantitative research design using survey
study was conducted to evaluate stakeholders’ opinion on the impact of DB on
cost. Survey forms with questionnaires were sent to ten project owners and ten
contractors. Inferential statistics using t-test was used to compare the
perception between them. The result shows that project owners and contractors
agree that DB project delivery has some benefits on cost. However,
implementation has to be improved in order for DB to be a preferable project
delivery option.
