Indonesia construction sector shifts toward integrated design and sustainable materials

The Indonesian construction industry is shifting toward integrated planning and sustainable materials to meet growing demands for efficiency and safety. As the sector contributes approximately 9.83% to Indonesia's GDP, developers are increasingly incorporating specialized systems, such as door hardware, during the initial design phase rather than as a final finishing step. This approach aims to optimize space, circulation, and long-term operational costs.

In the realm of building materials, PT Semen Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (SIG) is promoting the use of Precision Interlock Bricks to accelerate housing development. These interlocking bricks are designed to be more efficient than traditional methods, as they do not require soaking, formwork, or additional plastering. The technology is noted for its earthquake resistance and ability to maintain cooler indoor temperatures, offering a faster and more sustainable solution for modern residential construction and disaster recovery efforts.
