Abstract

The availability of conventional timber, particularly teak wood, has been steadily declining alongside escalating prices that render it increasingly unaffordable. This condition has compelled communities to seek alternative construction materials, with light steel emerging as a highly favored option due to its lightweight properties, structural flexibility, termite resistance, and ease of application. Nevertheless, the implementation of light steel construction requires a competent and skilled workforce capable of producing high-quality and efficient work outcomes. The program was delivered through a combination of socialization sessions and hands-on practical training, aimed at enhancing participants’ understanding of the material properties of light steel, installation standards in accordance with SNI 8399-2017, and independent skills in assembling ceiling and partition frameworks.
