As a result, employing efficient construction methods that optimize costs and time without sacrificing quality becomes crucial. A widely recognized solution in the construction industry is the use of precast concrete technology. This method offers significant advantages, as precast components are manufactured in factory-controlled environments, ensuring consistent precision and durability. Furthermore, the ability to massproduce these components and deliver them to the site minimizes on-site construction time. For musholla projects, precast concrete enables modular designs that cater to specific needs in terms of size and aesthetics. (Metromont. In addition to efficiency, safety and structural reliability are critical factors in construction planning. As Indonesia is highly prone to earthquakes, compliance with building regulations such as SNI 2847:2019 on structural concrete and SNI 1726:2019 on earthquake-resistant design is essential. Using precast concrete requires a detailed analysis of various loads, including dead loads, live loads, and seismic loads, to ensure safety and resilience. Key structural elements like beams, columns, and slabs must be designed to withstand these loads and maintain long-term durability. (Springer Link, 2. Moreover, precast concrete supports sustainability initiatives in Its manufacturing process produces less waste compared to traditional methods, aligning with environmentally friendly practices. The controlled production environment ensures precise material specifications and reduces the likelihood of errors that could compromise structural integrity. This aligns with contemporary construction trends focused on resource efficiency and reducing environmental impact. (Nitterhouse Concrete. ,2.
