Evaluating Productivity and Costs of Concrete Casting for Structural Elements

Abstract

Indonesia has many construction companies due to its growing building construction sector. The productivity of heavy equipment plays a crucial role in project completion time and construction costs. A study comparing casting volume using Revit software is essential for the construction sector. Researchers are using Revit software to determine casting materials and assess casting equipment's productivity, such as portable pumps used for casting beams and floor slabs, concrete buckets used for casting columns, and casting costs. This quantitative research is a testament to our commitment to precision, as it utilizes actual project data, such as daily casting mapping and concrete supply. The data is then meticulously processed to produce output, such as differences in concrete volume between Revit software and on-site realization, the productivity of casting equipment, and casting costs. The analysis shows significant differences in material usage for casting on the 10th and 11th floors, directly impacting future construction projects' efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
