Study of labor cost escalation in delay projects

Abstract

Timeliness of implementation is one of the variables in the implementation of construction projects. Evaluation and acceleration of delays projects will generally affect the use of project resources. Project delays can be overcome by making efforts, among others, with the Crashing Method which will affect various alternative costs resulting from Crashing. This study aims to understand that the delay in the construction project schedule will have an impact on the new schedule and the impact of costs that occur due to the acceleration carried out so that the project life is in accordance with the plan. Furthermore, it was analyzed for the need for additional workforce groups or only to maintain the addition of overtime. This research was conducted with descriptive analytic method, which is a research that will explain the conditions in the field in detail about project schedule delays by analyzing the magnitude of escalation of labor costs due to the acceleration of the duration of each activity so that the project schedule returns to the plan age.
