Delay Analysis · Saudi Arabia
Delay Analysis Consultant in Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia's giga-projects are generating delay events faster than most contractors can analyse them, and unquantified delay is unrecoverable delay. CALIM produces forensic delay analysis for contractors across the Kingdom from our Al Khobar office.
How CALIM helps contractors in Saudi Arabia
- Forensic delay analysis using the method that fits your programme records and the contract
- As-planned vs as-built, window analysis, and time impact analysis aligned to the SCL Protocol
- Isolate critical delay, address concurrency, and link cause to effect defensibly
- Produce delay reports that support an EOT claim or withstand challenge in a dispute
Why delay analysis in Saudi Arabia is different
On NEOM, Qiddiya, the Red Sea, and Diriyah, programmes change constantly and delay causes overlap, which makes methodology selection and concurrency treatment decisive. We audit the programme records, apply an SCL Protocol-recognised method that the evidence supports, isolate the critical delay, and produce a report that underpins a FIDIC EOT claim and can be relied on in SCCA arbitration.
Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 giga-projects - NEOM, Qiddiya, the Red Sea, Diriyah - have created the largest construction pipeline in the region, most of it on FIDIC-based conditions with Saudi-specific amendments. Public-sector work also sits under the Government Tenders and Procurement Law, so contractors need commercial administration that reads both the contract and the regulatory layer.
Where a dispute cannot be avoided, resolution in Saudi Arabia typically runs through the Saudi Center for Commercial Arbitration (SCCA) and the Government Tenders and Procurement Law. CALIM has an office in Al Khobar, close to the Eastern Province and the giga-project corridor.

Can you handle delay analysis on giga-project programmes?
Yes. CALIM produces forensic delay analysis on the large, fast-changing programmes typical of Saudi giga-projects. We audit the baseline and updates, select a method the records can support, and address the overlapping and concurrent delays common on projects of this scale, producing a report that supports a FIDIC extension-of-time claim.
Will the analysis support SCCA arbitration?
Yes. Our delay analysis is prepared to a standard suitable for both settlement and formal proceedings, including arbitration at the Saudi Center for Commercial Arbitration. It establishes the critical delay, the cause-and-effect link, and concurrency, and we work with your legal team so the analysis is dispute-ready under the contract and applicable law.
