The community of Gurusina kampong built their traditional houses by exploiting the potential of the local natural environment. Currently, timber and bamboo as Sao construction materials tend to be increasingly scarce, which leads to the extinction of Sao and entails to the unknown details by future generations. This paper aims to measure the components of Sao construction from the aspects of material strength and energy consumption based on sustainability principles. The method used is descriptive qualitative by using verbal information and numerical data through interviews and direct measurements so we used Value Engineering Analysis the formula of Kirk & Dell’Isola (1995). The results of the research highlight that the use of timber species of Oja and Fai for the construction of Sao has a longer strength life and contains low energy in terms of building process and transportation compared to other types of material. In anticipating the scarcity of these two types of material and in reviewing the types of timber to be used in spaces other than One , we suggest to use Kelapa timber and Betho bamboo as other renewable materials which are also efficient in terms of energy use and strength.
