Abstract

The emergence of residual materials during the building construction process cannot be avoided by the construction operator, especially the impact that directly or indirectly results in wasting construction material costs. However, this can be minimized by applying an ideal waste material management concept from the planning, procurement to implementation stages. The purpose of this study is to analyze the level of potential impact of the application of the concept of waste management of building construction materials in an effort to reduce the impact of inefficiency in project material costs, where in this study is viewed from the point of view of the parties involved in the project carried out by the State Owned Contractor (SOE). The method used in this research is done by distributing questionnaires to the building construction organizers which are being handled by the SOE contractors, where the respondents consist of experienced and responsible parties in project activities. So the conclusion from the results of this study shows that the concept of the model provides an impact test value that is quite ideal and has the potential to be applied by construction operators, both contractors, planning consultants and material suppliers in an effort to reduce the impact of cost inefficiency due to the emergence of residual building construction materials in Indonesia in the future.

Abstract

Work motivation for workers in a project can be considered simple and can also be a complex problem, because basically humans are easy to motivate by giving what they want. Furthermore, motivation is a process as the first step for someone to take action due to physical and psychological deficiencies or in other words, it is an encouragement shown to fulfill certain goals. If this condition does not occur, it will reduce worker work motivation and will result in decreased worker performance. This research aims to determine the level of needs that influence the motivation of construction foremen and analyze the motivational factors that influence the motivation of construction foremen. The method used by researchers was by distributing questionnaires to 15 foremen who were used as respondents for construction project research in Pangkep, as well as conducting interviews with three or four project foremen. Based on the research results, it was found that 5 factors have the most influence on the motivation of construction project foremen in Pangkep Regency in general, namely: Of the 23 motivation factors, there are 5 factors that have the most influence on the motivation of construction project foremen in general, namely: (1) adequate wages/salaries , (2) good workplace facilities, (3) payment received on time, (4) Good relationships with fellow workers, (5) good work direction program.

Abstract

The escalating demand for high-performance construction materials has intensified the search for sustainable alternatives to natural aggregates, particularly in the production of High-Strength Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC). This study evaluates the integration of nickel slag from Morowali, Central Sulawesi, as a partial replacement for fine aggregates to address the environmental degradation caused by river sand mining. Utilizing a quantitative experimental design, 48 cylindrical specimens were tested across various substitution levels (0%, 20%, 40%, and 60%) with a consistent water-to-binder ratio of 0.28 and a target characteristic strength of 60 MPa. Rheological parameters were assessed through slump-flow and L-box blocking ratio ( ) tests, while mechanical performance was measured via compressive strength at 7, 14, and 28 days. Results indicate that a 40% substitution threshold represents the optimum balance, yielding a superior characteristic strength of 69.73 MPa a 16.6% enhancement over the control. Rheologically, nickel slag improved fluidity up to 710 mm, although replacements exceeding 40% triggered dynamic instability and segregation, evidenced by an   ratio decline to 0.78. These findings imply that nickel slag is a technically viable reinforcing filler for strategic infrastructure, provided that substitution levels are strictly calibrated. The study concludes that while nickel slag significantly densifies the concrete matrix, industrial adoption requires further standardization of long-term durability metrics. Future research should prioritize the evaluation of creep and chloride resistance in marine environments to ensure structural longevity.

Abstract

Background: Remote road preservation work combines construction hazards with difficult terrain and limited access, complicating consistent occupational safety management. Objective: To assess reported and observed Sistem Manajemen Keselamatan dan Kesehatan Kerja (SMK3; Occupational Safety and Health Management System) practices against the 166-criterion framework, rank perceived barriers, and formulate project-specific improvements for the Usilimo–Karubaga corridor in Highland Papua. Methods: A descriptive mixed-methods case study combined observation, document review, an 18-item, five-point Likert-scale questionnaire involving 34 personnel, and structured interviews with 30 informants. Item-total correlations, Cronbach’s alpha, descriptive rankings, and an exploratory one-sample t-test were integrated with qualitative evidence. Results: The overall perceived-barrier mean was 2.97, within the moderate interval of 2.61–3.40; it was not a regulatory compliance score. Item-total correlations exceeded 0.339, and Cronbach’s alpha was 0.829. The leading barriers were PPE awareness and formal training (both 3.18), PPE availability (3.15), and vigilance and supervision (both 3.12). The reported t-test did not distinguish the mean from the neutral value of 3.00. Interview accounts linked these obstacles to transportation difficulties, weather, terrain, and uneven supervisory reach. A complete criterion-level audit score was not reported. Conclusion: The evidence supports coordinated PPE reserves, structured training, risk-based supervision, emergency preparedness, and locally adapted safety communication. These case-specific proposals require prospective evaluation; their effectiveness and wider applicability have not been established.

Abstract

Construction quality depends on effective field supervision, compliance with technical specifications, and timely corrective actions. However, empirical evidence regarding these relationships in healthcare facility construction projects remains limited. This study examined the relationship between field supervision and construction work quality in the Batupanga Community Health Center construction project in Luyo District, Polewali Mandar Regency, Indonesia. A quantitative research approach was employed, involving 15 respondents purposively selected based on their direct involvement in project implementation. Data were collected through questionnaires comprising five indicators for each construct, supplemented by field observations and project documentation. The data were analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). Measurement model evaluation indicated acceptable convergent validity and internal consistency reliability, with average variance extracted (AVE) values of 0.582 and 0.512 and composite reliability values of 0.873 and 0.838 for the respective constructs. The structural model revealed a positive and statistically significant association between field supervision and perceived construction work quality (B = 0.512; t = 2.418; p = 0.017). Field supervision explained 26.2% of the variance in perceived construction work quality (R² = 0.262), with an effect size of 0.355 (f²). Inspector accuracy and inspection intensity emerged as prominent indicators of field supervision. These findings underscored the importance of systematic inspections, effective coordination, and documented corrective actions in supporting construction quality. However, the limited explanatory power of the model suggested that additional factors also contributed to variations in perceived work quality. The study concluded that field supervision was positively associated with construction work quality, although the small, purposively selected sample and single-project setting limited the generalizability of the findings. Future research should include larger samples across multiple construction projects and examine additional predictors, including workforce competence, material quality, design clarity, and environmental conditions.
