Abstract : In the process of implementing road construction projects, especially in Poso Regency, changes are often made to adapt to local conditions. These changes can impact changes to existing contract agreements, so that it is necessary to issue a new addendum or contract change order. This research sought to evaluate the impact of contract change orders on execution time performance as well as to identify tactics to prevent contract change orders from occurring during the implementation of road construction projects in Poso Regency. 52 individuals, including proprietors, consultants, and contractors, participated in the study. Documentation, interviews, and questionnaire surveys were used to acquire data. Data analysis via Structural Equation Modeling revealed that the origin of contract change orders had a positive value and significantly impacted implementation time. In order to prevent change orders from being issued during road construction projects in Poso Regency, it is necessary to thoroughly survey and inspect the area prior to design, prepare comprehensive, clear, and unambiguous contract documents, prepare specifications clearly, in detail, and without providing opportunities for different interpretations, the selection of qualified workers including certified experts and experienced operators, and ensure that budget policies and project planning are stable from the start, so that there are no changes in priorities that impact revisions to the scope of work.

Keywords : Construction, Road, Contract Change Order, Implementation Time Performance, SmartPLS.
