The problem that will be investigated in this thesis is based on the current data on several construction projects of correctional facilities done by PT Griya Cemerlang Sejahtera (PT. GCS). This company has similar projects and earned value data. PT. GCS expanded to other cities all over Indonesia and found out that their projects were always behind schedule. The problem identification in this research was carried out through qualitative meetings and interviews. Secondary research studies and quantitative questionnaires were also included to support and clarify some claims in this thesis. One of the significant problems faced in project management is the difficulty in accurately estimating time schedules. In large and diverse projects, factors like new locations and work cultures can make traditional schedule estimation less accurate and more subjective. In the role of PMO, it's crucial to enhance accuracy in estimating project timelines. Strategies include leveraging historical data, utilizing expert judgment, implementing robust risk management, employing advanced project management tools, fostering stakeholder collaboration, embracing Agile methodologies, providing continuous training, and ensuring iterative planning. These efforts contribute to more precise scheduling, which is vital for effective project monitoring. Upon identifying this challenge, a solution is sought based on the PMBOK guide. However, in the context of both companies examined in this study, neither PERT nor three-point analysis has been implemented, as these practices are not commonly utilized in medium-scale projects in Indonesia. The primary objective of this thesis is to propose and apply PERT as a solution to address the issue of imprecise time schedule estimation. The aim is to demonstrate that incorporating PERT into the companies' existing methods of estimating activity durations will result in a more dependable and accurate project schedule.
