Development of an Information System for Monitoring Work Progress in Building Construction Projects: A Case Study of Voyou Hotel Surakarta

Abstract

Purpose:

The application of technology in the construction industry is still less than optimal in terms of project monitoring efficiency, so an integrated information system is needed to provide real-time data to overcome information delays, data inaccuracies, and coordination between stakeholders. This study aims to: Identify information system user needs using the House of Quality method, develop an information system prototype that meets user needs, and evaluate the feasibility of the information system through field trials with functional parameters.

Methods/Design:

This study used a descriptive quantitative approach with the following stages: (1) Identifying needs through a questionnaire with 20 stakeholders (PPK, contractors, supervisors), (2) Prioritizing needs analysis using the House of Quality method, (3) Developing a prototype using the waterfall method, and (4) Testing the application's feasibility using a Likert scale.

Findings:

Based on the House of Quality analysis, 13 user need attributes were identified, with the Checklist Unit feature receiving the highest weighting (12.65%). The resulting application prototype includes the main features of the Unit Checklist, Progress Mapping, S-Curve, Quick Responses, and Documentation. The information system developed with key features meets user needs. The House of Quality method provides systematic guidance in designing a prototype construction project monitoring information system, allowing each stage of development to be carried out in a structured manner.

Practical implication:

Based on the information system testing results, the developed prototype was deemed quite feasible, with each aspect receiving an average score ranging from "Quite Feasible" to "Feasible," with a total overall average score of 3.25, falling within the "Quite Feasible" category.
