ABSTRACT
This study analyzes the process of compiling the Basic Unit Price Standard (SHS) in Tanah Laut Regency, Indonesia, which is used for planning and budgeting public construction projects. The current SHS system is characterized by a uniform pricing model that fails to account for significant geographical and logistical cost variations across the regency, leading to inefficient and inequitable budget allocation. The primary objective of this research is to identify the dominant factors influencing construction price variations and to formulate an ideal strategy for a more accountable SHS framework. The methodology involved a quantitative survey of 50 key stakeholders, including government officials and construction professionals, with data analyzed using index and variance techniques. The results identified six dominant factors, with logistical challenges—specifically location remoteness (Index = 71), material transport distance (Index = 69), and distance from material source (Index = 67)—ranking as the most influential. Other significant factors included the accuracy of survey data input, inflation, and the lack of material specifications. Based on these findings, the study proposes a comprehensive mitigation strategy, centered on a short-term solution of dividing the regency into distinct pricing zones and a long-term solution of developing an integrated digital application for SHS management. This approach aims to create a more realistic, transparent, and effective SHS system that supports sustainable infrastructure development.
