Abstract

The delays in land acquisition are frequently an obstacle to the execution of construction projects in Indonesia, particularly the ones involving large-scale national infrastructure. This study examines the impact of land acquisition delays on the time and cost performance of construction project implementation, using the Bekasi River Flood Control Project, Package 6, as a case study. A quantitative approach was employed utilizing an explanatory sequential design that integrated primary and secondary project data collected from 32 respondents via a questionnaire. The results from the Simple Linear Regression (SLR) analysis indicate that the land acquisition delays have a strong, significant effect on the project duration with R2 = 0.380 and p < 0.001, and a moderate, significant effect on the project cost with R2 = 0.181 and p = 0.015. In practice, a 16 month delay in land acquisition led to a 454 day extension in project duration and an increase in costs by approximately IDR 7.5 billion, which is the 2.304% of the original contract value.
