The Ministry of Housing and Residential Areas (PKP) has stated that\nthe use of locally developed construction technologies is expected to\nenhance the effectiveness of building permanent housing (huntap) for\ncommunities affected by hydrometeorological disasters in Aceh, North\nSumatra, and West Sumatra.<\/p>\n
Teddy Paul H Siagian, Expert Staff for Land, Integrated Development,\nand Spatial Planning at the Ministry of PKP, noted that the construction\nof permanent housing in these three provinces will utilise two proven\nand certified domestic construction technologies to improve field\nexecution efficiency.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor Aceh and North Sumatra, we will use RISHA panel construction\ntechnology, and in West Sumatra, we will use Precision Interlock Brick\ntechnology. These are homegrown technologies that have been tested and\nhold testing certificates from Puskim and SNI (Indonesian National\nStandard), so it is expected that these technologies can enhance\nconstruction methods on the ground,\u201d Teddy said in Jakarta on\nFriday.<\/p>\n
He added that these technologies are designed to support the house\nconstruction process more quickly, efficiently, and with precise\nquality, while still meeting safety and comfort standards for\nhousing.<\/p>\n
He explained that the construction of these permanent residences is\npart of the Ministry of PKPS\u2019s duties within the Task Force for the\nAcceleration of Post-Disaster Rehabilitation and Reconstruction in Aceh,\nNorth Sumatra, and West Sumatra. The programme is supported by an\nadditional budget allocation of Rp2.2 trillion.<\/p>\n
By 2026, the Ministry of PKP aims to construct 7,952 units of\npermanent housing, including the necessary infrastructure, facilities,\nand utilities (PSU) across the three provinces.<\/p>\n
According to Teddy, the government has been identifying land\nreadiness since early December following the hydrometeorological\ndisasters. The results show that 54 construction sites are available,\ncovering a total area of 198.2 hectares.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have ensured that for the 2026 target of 7,952 units, 54\nlocations are available with a total land area of 198.2 hectares, with a\ncapacity for 7,973 units,\u201d he said. He added that the mapping of\nconstruction sites and housing utilities has been completed across all\ntarget areas to ensure construction readiness.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the Secretary-General of the Ministry of PKP, Didyk\nChoiroel, stated that the Ministry\u2019s budget realisation as of late July\nhas reached Rp3.27 trillion out of an overall budget ceiling of Rp10.3\ntrillion. He noted that the Ministry has also received an additional\nbudget of Rp2.218 trillion, part of which is dedicated to the\nconstruction of permanent housing for disaster-affected communities in\nSumatra.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/ministry-of-housing-confident-local-technology-will-boost-construction-efficiency-in-sumatra-1785513635", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
