CHAPTER I
PRELIMINARY

1.1. Background
Bandung (/ˈbɑːndʊŋ/),(Indonesian: Bandung, Chinese: 萬 隆 ,
formerly Dutch: Bandoeng), is the capital of West Java province
in Indonesia and Greater Bandung made up of 2 municipalities and
38 districts, making it Indonesia's 3rd largest metropolitan area with
8,201,928 inhabitants listed in the 2015 Badan Pusat Statistik data. It
is the nation's third most populous city, with over 2.5 million (2015).
Located 768 meters (2,520 feet) above sea level, approximately 140
kilometers (87 miles) south-east of Jakarta, Bandung has cooler
year-round temperatures than most other Indonesian cities. The city
lies on a river basin surrounded by volcanic mountains. This
topography provides a natural defense system, which was the
primary reason for the Dutch East Indies government's plan to move
the colony capital from Batavia (modern-day Jakarta) to Bandung.
In 2005 the population of Bandung was 2,290,464, with a
density of 13,693/km2 (35,465/sq mi). The May 2010 census
enumerated 2,394,873 people. Based on data from the Indonesian
Statistics Department, the population of Bandung in 2014 was
2,470,802, making Bandung the third largest city in Indonesia.

(per km2 )

The majority of Bandung’s population are of Sundanese

descent. Javanese are the largest minority and mostly come from
 2

nearby Central Java and the eastern part of Java. Other minorities
include Minang, Minahasan, Chinese, Batak, Malay, Korean, Indian,
and Japanese. Bandung also possesses significant international
communities, compared with other Indonesian cities
There are at least sixteen universities—three of which are state-
owned—and 45 professional schools are scattered across the city.
Education from social sciences and technology to tourism education
can be found at one of those universities.
Basically, the definition of education (UU SISDIKNAS Number
20 of 2003) is a conscious and planned effort to create an
atmosphere of learning and learning process so that learners actively
develop their potential to have spiritual strength, self-control,
personality, intelligence, noble character, and skills needed itself and
society.
Higher education is a continuation of secondary education held
to prepare learners to become members of the community who have
academic and professional skills that can apply, develop and create
science, technology and art (UU Numb 2 of 1989, Article 16,
paragraph (1)).
Higher education is education at a higher level than middle
school education in school education (PP Numb 30 of 1990, article 1
paragraph 1)
Higher Education has several functions, as mentioned in UU
numb. 12 of 2012 Article 4 that higher education has 3 (three)
functions as follows:
1. Developing capabilities and forming the character and civilization
of a dignified nation in order to educate the nation's life.
2. Developing an innovative, responsive, creative, skillful, competitive
and cooperative academic community through the implementation
of Tridharma, and
 3

3. Developing Science and Technology by taking into account and

applying the value of the Humanities.
In addition to having a function, higher education also has
several goals. As well as the understanding and function of higher
education, the purpose of higher education is also contained in UU
numb. 12 Year 2012 on Higher Education that is in Article 5. In UU
numb 12 of 2012 article 5 mentioned 4 (four) objectives of higher
education, as follows: 
1. The growing potential of students to become human beings who
believe and pious to God Almighty and morality, healthy,
knowledgeable, capable, creative, independent, skilled,
competent, and cultured for the benefit of the nation.
2. Produce graduates who master the branch of Science and / or
Technology to meet the national interests and increase the
nation's competitiveness.
3. The result of Science and Technology through Research which
concerns and implements the value of Humanities to benefit the
nation's progress, as well as the progress of civilization and the
welfare of mankind.
4. Realization of Community-based Devotion of Rationale and
Research work that is useful in promoting the general welfare and
intellectual life of the nation.
The funding and organization of universities varies widely
between different countries around the world. In some countries,
universities are predominantly funded by the state, while in others
funding may come from donors or from fees which students attending
the university must pay. In some countries, the vast majority of
students attend university in their local town, while in other countries
universities attract students from all over the world, and may provide
university accommodation for their students.[79]

Addition of population in Bandung City, West Java and

development of mankind activity pushing implementation the
development to fulfill mankind basic needs as property, offices and
other infrastructure. Considering that problem Bandung City needs a
proper university that can provide education service for society.
University of Muhammadiyah Bandung realizes that the
challenge in providing educational services is increasing, considering
the number of residents in Bandung City and outside the city who
want to get an education in Bandung City. Therefore the University of
Muhammadiyah held UMB development to support education based
Islamic facilities in Bandung.

1.2. Problem Focus

Calculating the volume of work, the cost required for project
implementation identifies the network in the Muhammadiyah
Bandung University Development Project.

1.3. Limits of Research

In the proposed thesis entitled "CONSTRUCTION
MANAGEMENT ANALYSIS OF MUHAMMADIYAH BANDUNG
UNIVERSITY" there should be limitations of writing or scope of the
following research conducted in the preparation of the thesis.
Limitations of issues to be discussed include:
a. Volume calculation and cost budget plan (RAB) of work for the
ground floor, 1st – 13th floor, rooftop structure;
b. The method of cost control analysis used are Barchart and S-
Curve
c. The network analysis method used in the project research is
Critical Path Method.

1.4. Formulation of the Problem

 5

1. How to analyze the calculation of the volume of work on the

construction of Muhammadiyah Bandung University?
2. How are the time and cost performance of the Muhammadiyah
Bandung University?
3. What is the form of the network Muhammadiyah Bandung
University?

1.5. Research Purpose

1. Knowing the comparative analysis of the project with the analysis
of the researcher ;
2. To determine the network or network implementation of
Muhammadiyah Bandung University development ;
3. Knowing the project implementation is in accordance with the
previously planned ;
4. To find out a job that includes a critical job.

1.6. Utility of Research

1.6.1. Theoretical Utility
a. As reference materials research on project management
b. Increase the mindset of students in studying, observing, and
understanding issues related to civil engineering field.

1.6.2. Practical Utility

a. Knowing the performance of labor, equipment, and materials
used in a building project of high rise building structure.
b. Knowing the method of project implementation used in the
construction of multi-storey building structure.
c. Know the process of preparation of project execution schedule
(Time Schedule)
d. Know the final cost of project implementation
 6

e. Add to the scientific understanding of project implementation

management directly
