Abstract
Construction project scheduling plays the most important role because here you can find out how far the project is late or early so you can know the planned and actual progress of a project. In scheduling construction projects, the estimated time of an activity is basically the time span required to complete an activity from start to finish which is arranged as a network in the completion of a construction project. In estimating time, the scheduler unintentionally often adds safety time to ensure that the activity schedule in the planned construction project is in a safe condition, meaning that the activity can be completed according to the planned time limit. However, the existence of safety time in every activity in a construction project unknowingly hinders the performance of construction implementation. Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM) is a method that achieved by eliminating safety time and providing a buffer at the end of the project. With CCPM the scheduler will be able to streamline the existence of safety time with buffer time, both on critical and non-critical paths. The results showed that the project buffer value obtained was 12 day and the total duration using the Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM) method with the addition the project buffer is 169 calendar days.
