Infrastructure development is one of the main points of the program by the Indonesian government, outlined in Nawacita. One of the manifestations of this program in 2019 was the construction of the Gedung Kuliah Umum (GKU) at the Institut Teknologi Sumatera (Itera). As an effort to realize sustainable development, Geodetic surveys named 'as-built surveys' and periodic deformation observations need to be conducted. Both surveys can be done by terrestrial method using total station and satellite method using GPS-RTK. In this article, an analysis of the accuracy, precision and efficiency of the terrestrial method and satellite method for as-built survey and deformation observation at GKU Itera is reported along with a comparison between deformation calculation and direct observation. It was found that the terrestrial method produced better accuracy and precision level (19,5 cm compared to 43,3 cm) than the satellite method with 95% confidence level. In addition, the terrestrial method produces 3 times more data than the satellite method, although on the other hand, the total observation time of the terrestrial method is 100% longer than the satellite method. These results show that periodic monitoring is important for detecting the degree of deformation and realizing sustainable development. In addition, the terrestrial method is more suitable for accurate and precise periodic surveillance of a building than the satellite method. These findings could act as a contribution towards better sustainable deformation monitiring of a building and to underline the importance of having such periodic observations.
