VALUE ENGINEERING AT THE CULTURAL HERITAGE BUILDING RESTORATION SITE A.A. MARAMIS – AT JAKARTA

Abstract With the rapid development and construction of high-rise buildings, especially in Jakarta, the restoration of heritage buildings like the A.A. Maramis building has become increasingly important. This study aims to apply Value Engineering (VE) principles to the restoration of heritage buildings, specifically to reduce restoration costs. Heritage buildings are invaluable cultural assets that must be preserved. The restoration process often requires the use of materials that match the original characteristics of the building, such as porous plaster. However, these materials can be expensive. This study seeks to identify alternative materials that can reduce costs without compromising the quality of the restoration work. By employing a quantitative-qualitative approach using the Pareto method, Function Analysis System Technique (FAST), Life Cycle Cost (LCC), and Multi-Criteria Analysis (MCA), this research aims to find the most cost-effective solution while maintaining the building's original character. Primary data was collected from field observations, material comparisons, and expert questionnaires to assess the suitability of alternative materials.
