Abstract
The outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) - which started to spread in Indonesia at the beginning of March 2020, has affected Indonesia’s economy and business sectors. The construction industry is no exception. The purpose of this paper, therefore, is to develop a new disaster recovery model that can be used in situations such as COVID-19 pandemic in the construction industry. The data collected through survey was analysed using frequency analysis. The results of the first survey revealed that the impact during and post COVID-19 have greatly influenced the construction phase. Although a risk mitigation plan has been implemented, less than 50% of the respondent companies were found to use it. In the second survey, we observed that the presence of COVID-19 has not resulted in any force majeure claims to project owners. The results show that there are high expectations that projects can still be carried out with the established health protocols, and that the government will provide stimulus assistance. Also, there is a rather significant desire for a recovery disaster plan to be enacted, especially for the prioritized business functions. We also found that there is a great need for artificial intelligence (AI) applications to be applied in construction projects. The results of this study will help project owners, contractors, and the government to devise policies.
