Package integration
Multiple contractors need linked logic. Without it, every package can report green while the programme is late.
SAUDI ARABIA
Project Controls in Saudi Arabia
Saudi programmes are often large, fast and split across many packages. The schedule has to hold one critical path through that complexity.
Saudi Arabia
Integrated controls for multi-package Saudi delivery
Saudi Arabia programmes frequently combine design still in progress with construction already on site. If each package owns its own finish date, the master programme becomes a collage. We build and maintain an integrated network so leadership can see the true driver.
Heat, working-hour restrictions and holy-month productivity belong in the calendar. Authority approvals and utility interfaces need activities and predecessors, not optimism. FIDIC notice periods should be visible in the file before a delay argument starts.
We support clients and contractors from our Manchester base, working in Primavera P6 and the reporting tools the programme already uses. The aim is a transferable schedule, not a private spreadsheet.
On the programme
Saudi planning issues that decide the finish date
Heat and holy month
Reduced working hours must be calendared or the forecast assumes output the site cannot deliver.
Approvals and utilities
Permits and diversions sit on the critical path and need realistic durations.
Design-to-site overlap
Fast-track only works if design release milestones are predecessors to the site tasks that need them.
How we help
How we support Saudi programmes
Planning, scheduling and project controls from a Manchester-based consultancy, deployed to the programme rather than tied to a local office in every city.
Master schedule integration
Package programmes checked and linked into one critical path the client can manage.
Climate-aware calendars
Heat and holy-month working built in before dates are committed.
Commercial-ready updates
Progress and delay recorded against logic to support FIDIC notices and recovery decisions.
Executive reporting
A clear monthly view of milestones, float and earned value without a second unofficial tracker.

Saudi Arabia planning questions
How does this relate to the Middle East page?
The Middle East page covers Gulf-wide conditions. This page focuses on Saudi multi-package delivery and calendar practice.
Do you work under FIDIC?
Yes. Programme submissions, updates and delay records are structured so notices and time arguments have a schedule basis.
Can you integrate several contractor programmes?
Yes. That is usually the main controls task on large Saudi jobs.
Do you have a Saudi office?
No. We are based in Manchester and support Saudi programmes with the client or contractor team.
