Indocement Renovates Construction Workers' Homes via 'Bangun Rumah Tukangku' Social Programme

Bogor Regency (ANTARA) - PT Indocement Tunggal Prakarsa Tbk, through its Semen Tiga Roda brand, is renovating the homes of construction workers across various regions via the social programme ‘Bangun Rumah Tukangku’ as a form of appreciation for construction workers.

Troy D. Saputro, Director of Indocement and producer of Semen Tiga Roda, stated in Bogor Regency, West Java, on Monday that the programme is a form of recognition for construction workers, referred to as ‘Indonesia’s construction heroes’.

The programme provides decent housing for construction workers who have helped build homes for the public but have been unable to afford comfortable living spaces for their own families.

“This is our way of thanking Indonesia’s construction heroes, the builders. We want to fulfil their wish of being able to enjoy a comfortable home of their own after building many others,” Troy said.

From March to early May 2026, 13 houses have been completed, renovated, and handed over to beneficiaries, while 19 others are still under construction.

The programme targets a total of 32 construction workers across Sumatra to Sulawesi, with 10 houses in Java handed over gradually in Bogor Regency, Sukabumi, Garut, Brebes, Pekalongan, Kebumen, Sidoarjo, Tangerang, and Cisarua in Bogor Regency.

Endang, a construction worker from Nambo Village in Bogor Regency, said his previous home was unfit for habitation.

Similarly, Marta, a construction worker from Leuwikaret Village in Bogor Regency, has finally been able to secure a decent home after decades of work through the programme.

Marta and his wife, Itoh, previously lived in a precarious stilt house. The condition was deemed dangerous as Marta, due to age, was struggling to stand and walk.

In Garut, construction worker Aep expressed gratitude after his home was renovated. His wife, Siti Khodijah, said the family previously had no private toilet and had to use the mosque’s facilities.

“The access to our home is difficult, only reachable by foot or motorbike. We had no toilet, so we had to use the mosque’s facilities,” Siti said.

Meanwhile, Welo, a construction worker in Tangerang, said his home was nearly collapsing, forcing him and his brother to stay with neighbours.

Additionally, Dodi, a construction worker in Cisarua, Bogor Regency, expressed joy after obtaining a decent home while his wife was pregnant.
