PT Dimensi Tata Suasana is a construction company that specializes in a water fountain, and water features. Since its establishment, the obtained revenue experienced a significant increase. However, the earned profit margins were not as planned, two of the three projects have decreased profit margins by 5-7% than the plan. The research began with gathering information about the project management process at PT DTS. The process of gathering information is done through surveys, interviews, and observations. Then the analysis was carried out to find the root cause of the problem using the Current Reality Tree method. Three root cause problems affect the decrease in the company's profit margins, namely: lack of purchasing strategies, lack of human resource management, and lack of monitoring costs. The current system at the company is still using conventional methods, hence the indication of project cost overrun will be only near the edge of the project lifecycle. PMBOK offers ten knowledge areas for project management, where 3 out of 10 knowledge areas can be used to overcome the problems currently faced by the company. The three knowledge areas are; project human resource management, procurement management projects, and project cost management. The simulation of these three fields of knowledge on the current project can identify the initial problems that are not detected in conventional methods. Besides that, it showed the risk level that the company face would decrease. It will ease the project manager to take early actions in order to bring the project back on the planned schedule and budget. The successful implementation of these three methods are expected to help the company to improve cost efficiency and to maintain the profit margin at planned levels.
