PT Hutama Karya (Persero) won first place in the Building Information Modelling (BIM) 5 category "Mastering Profit in Construction Phase" through the State Civil Apparatus (Rusun) 2 Flats (ASN) project in West Residence, Capital Nusantara (IKN), East Kalimantan, at the "Architecture, Engineering, Construction (AEC) Connect Day 2025" event.

Executive Vice President (EVP) Secretary of Hutama Karya Adjib Al Hakim emphasized that the crucial role of knowledge management in encouraging the integration of technology and innovation of construction services.

This includes not only the creation and storage of knowledge, but also ensures effective transfer and utilization of knowledge throughout the project cycle.

In this context, continuous training and link and match between the world of education and industry are important instruments in building adaptive human resource (HR) capabilities to digital construction.

Therefore, the development of competencies is not just supporting activities, but a strategic foundation in realizing digital transformation and creating sustainable innovations.

According to Adjib, this achievement cannot be separated from the company's commitment to increasing competitiveness through digital transformation and strengthening human resource competencies, especially through training in the field of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and the latest construction technology.

"We consistently provide Hutama people with relevant training in the field of BIM and construction technology, in order to be able to answer industrial challenges that are increasingly dynamic and strengthen the company's position," said Adjib in a written statement, Friday, May 16.

Adjib assessed that the ASN 2 Flats in IKN are a real example of digital transformation of national construction through the application of 5D Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology by Hutama Karya.

The implementation of Cubicost software in this project provides significant benefits, including automation of 85-90 percent of items or work elements in the structure, architecture and MEP. Thus, the process becomes much easier and more efficient.

In terms of accuracy, the use of Cubicost increases the accuracy of 90-95 percent estimation because it reduces the potential for human error and automates quantitative data collection directly from design models.

In addition, the duration of calculating quantities and cost estimates which usually take 7-14 days manually, can now be cut to only 1-3 days. Thus, the project work process becomes 75-80 percent faster.

"This innovation not only optimizes cost planning and material control, but also speeds up project work times significantly, while ensuring that the work results are more accurate and efficient," he concluded.
