PERBANDINGAN PENGGUNAAN BATU BATA INTERLOCK DENGAN BATU BATA MERAH TERKAIT EFISIENSI MATERIAL DALAM SUATU BANGUNAN

Abstract

The use of materials continues to grow and experience renewal. The use of wall materials also continues to develop. In the work of making walls, material selection must meet the needs for cost, time, and quality so that the selected material is effective and efficient. The existence of interlock brick technology as the main material in filled wall works can provide an alternative choice of material to be used in a construction work. The purpose of this study is to provide a comparison of the effectiveness and efficiency of red bricks and interlock bricks. The method used is quantitatively by collecting data and comparing the prices of making walls for the two materials. The correlation of this cost budget calculation refers to the price of materials for installation work to plastering work. For red bricks, calculations are carried out using work unit price analysis and field work unit price approaches. For interlock bricks, the reference prices and specifications for one of the Indonesian interlock brick manufacturers are used. So that it can be seen the value of the cost of comparison in a work of making walls between red bricks and interlock bricks. From here it is also able to provide options for workers, clients, users, or architects to determine what materials are used in the most effective and efficient wall-making work.
