Overall health — AMBER

Measured against the baseline dates, the weightage and the cost columns of the schedule of 17 October 2026.

Dimension	Rating	Basis
Schedule performance	GREEN	SPI 1.04 with earned value SAR 63,200 against planned value SAR 60,500, schedule variance +SAR 2,700; physical progress 25.8% against 24.7% planned.
Completion date	GREEN	Forecast completion 26 Nov 2026 equals the baseline of 26 Nov 2026, 0 working days variance.
Cost performance	RED	CPI 0.90 with a cost variance of −SAR 6,800; the estimate at completion is SAR 271,361, which is SAR 26,361 (10.8%) above the budget at completion of SAR 245,000.
Critical path	AMBER	9 of the 15 open activities carry zero total float and 77.0% of the weighted value of the works falls between 14 October and 26 November 2026.
Data quality	AMBER	Activity 10.2 is reported 30% complete although its scheduled start is 18 November 2026, with no actual dates recorded; the baseline cost carried by the activities totals SAR 250,000 against a budget at completion of SAR 245,000.

Key decisions required

For the Project Lead · reporting date 17 October 2026

Release Tanks Assembly (9.2) for 22 October

44.9% of the project weight sits in this one activity, at zero total float, and its feeder 9.1 has moved 2 working days (19 to 21 October). Decision: confirm the 9.1 handover on 21 October and authorise the erection crew, tank plates and lifting equipment for 22 October.

Correct or evidence the reported progress on Pipes & Fittings (10.2)

10.2 is reported 30% complete with no actual start recorded, while its scheduled start is 18 November. It carries SAR 1,950 of earned value and accounts for 0.80 of the 1.10 points of variance at the data date. Decision: evidence the progress or correct the percentage at the next update.

Agree the cost recovery position

CPI 0.90 with a cost variance of −SAR 6,800 and an estimate at completion of SAR 271,361, which is SAR 26,361 (10.8%) above the SAR 245,000 budget. Decision: commercial action on the tanks and mechanical packages, where the cost variance sits.

Reconcile the activity cost baseline

The activities carry SAR 250,000 of baseline cost against a budget at completion of SAR 245,000. Decision: confirm the re-estimated SAR 41,000 Civil & Structural baseline as the controlled figure, since the weightage follows it.

Recover the 2 working days on milestones 3 to 6

All four remaining contractual milestones forecast 2 working days behind their contract dates (17, 18, 21 and 24 November). Decision: agree where the 2 days are recovered inside the 9.2 and 10.1 windows, as no float is available to absorb them.

Each decision is drawn from the schedule of 17 October 2026. Owners are assigned at the weekly progress meeting.

S-curve — cumulative weighted progress

Planned (baseline dates and weightage)Earned (reported progress and actual dates)┆ Data date 17 Oct 2026

Planned curve from baseline dates and the activity weightage; earned curve from reported progress and actual dates. 210 of the 245 working days of the programme had elapsed at the data date.

Both checkpoints before the data date closed exactly on plan. The +1.10 points at 17 October 2026 comes from two activities: Steel Beam Foundation (9.1) at 70% against 60% planned, worth +0.31 points, and Pipes & Fittings (10.2) reported 30% complete before its scheduled start, worth +0.80 points.

Planned % is the weighted progress the baseline dates call for at the data date; current % is the percentage reported in the schedule; variance is current minus planned, in percentage points of the activity. Last week %, weekly gain, responsible and comment / evidence come from the weekly site report and are not carried in the schedule file, so they stay blank until the next update is entered; actual dates are shown only where the schedule records them.

Values in SAR. Weightage and cost as carried in the schedule; EV = estimated cost × reported % complete.

Notes and methodology

Progress is weighted by the weightage of each activity held in the schedule; workstream progress is the weighted roll-up of its activities.
Planned progress is the weighted progress the baseline dates call for at the data date of 17 October 2026; PV, EV and AC use the cost carried by the activities.
CPI = EV ÷ AC; SPI = EV ÷ PV; EAC = BAC ÷ CPI; VAC = BAC − EAC.
Working calendar: Sunday to Thursday and Saturday, Friday non-working; the programme runs 245 working days from 15 February to 26 November 2026.
Baseline and current dates, predecessors and successors, weightage, cost and reported progress are taken from "Updated Schedule NCT_Work_Schedule_Updated_oct_18_2026".
Total float is computed from the dependency links of the schedule.
Planned % per activity is the share of its baseline duration elapsed at the data date; current % is the percentage reported in the schedule; variance is current minus planned in percentage points of that activity.
Target % in the look-ahead is the completion the current start and finish call for at the end of the window, on the same working calendar.
Actual start and actual end are the dates recorded in the schedule; activities without a recorded actual date show a dash. Last week %, weekly gain, responsible person, comment / evidence and constraint status are entered from the weekly site report and are not carried in the schedule file.
