SAPMT would like to raise our major concern on Delay of building construction Progress with the reference to approved schedule. The following events are delayed due to contractor’s poor performance.

• Shop drawings for MEP work still not yet finalized /approved and not yet available for construction (drainage network drawing for visitor buildings, electrical shop drawings, FW/PW piping network …etc.)
• Most of the materials are not delivered to Work Site, which was scheduled on 2014. But as on date, the contactor is not in a position to deliver items on site like A/C units, package air conditioning units, HVAC accessories, Doors, Frames... etc.
• Several activities like drainage network, cold and hot water piping,HVAC piping,electricakl and telecommunication cabling was scheduled to commence on March, 2015 and should have been completed before April 15th. But till date contractor is not in a position to start the work.
• MEP supervisor and experienced personal are not available on site, MEP contractor manpower is not sufficient to complete the work causing major delay.
• No Interface coordinator available with IC to coordinate with other KAUST contractors,KAUST and external agency.
• Designer (SCEC) representative not available in site office
IC is urged to submit Plan and Schedule for all building construction activities  as listed above which should have started much earlier according to the approved schedule.
