The Decisive Factors in Selection of Architects according to the Developers of Apartment Projects in Surabaya
Abstract
Selection of an architect is not as easy as buying finished goods because
their services are intangible. The selection of architect consists of several variables,
namely task performance, contextual performance, network relationships and
prices. The purpose of this study is to analyze which factors are most decisive in
selecting an architect according to apartment developers in Surabaya, and to
analyze whether there are differences between the factors in each variable. This
study used a pilot study with a questionnaire method that was distributed to the
architect lecturers of Petra Christian University, Indonesia. The results of the pilot
study were re-synthesize and distributed to apartment developers in Surabaya. The
conclusion is that the most decisive factor in task performance variable is a creative,
innovative, and constructability.
