Abstract

This study examines the comparison of PERT (Program Evaluation and Review Technique) and CPM (Critical Path Method) in time management for construction projects through a case study of a 21-story high-rise building project in Yogyakarta. The research is motivated by the need for effective time management in construction projects to avoid delays that may escalate costs and disrupt project execution. The objectives are to determine the estimated duration for completing the building’s structural work, compare the differences between the initial schedule and the results of PERT and CPM analyses. The study employs a case study approach, with primary data collected through direct interviews with project stakeholders regarding activity durations and predecessors, as well as secondary data from project documentation, including schedules and structural drawings. Data analysis involves applying PERT calculations using three-time estimates (optimistic, most likely, and pessimistic) and identifying critical paths through CPM. Data processing and network diagram visualization are conducted using a project management software to comprehensively map critical and non-critical project activities.  Results indicate that the CPM method predicts a project duration of 419 days, 237 days shorter than the initial schedule, while the PERT method estimates 580 days, 76 days shorter than the original timeline, with an 82.98% probability of timely completion.
