Estimated vs approved budget
What the project proposal estimated before approval, against today’s approved budget and the estimate at completion
- Approved is SAR 10.3M (7.5%) above the estimate
- The estimate at completion is SAR 24.9M (18.1%) above the estimate
From the «project proposal & feasibility study» approved at the approval gate on 2025-01-21 · The gap between estimated and approved comes from the scope update and the change requests approved after the approval gate.

Every manual update — who, when, why and from which source
No manual edits on this project
All its figures come from the finance-system sync. Finance & procurement — and the project manager, for the estimate at completion — can update them by hand.

Automatic end-of-project forecast
Four ways to estimate the final cost, and the date earned schedule points to
- At today’s cost performanceSAR 162.6M
- If the rest goes to planSAR 158.5M
- At cost and schedule performanceSAR 179.9M
- The PM’s bottom-up estimateSAR 162.6M
- To stay within SAR 148M, cost performance on the rest must rise to 1.34 — above what has been achieved.
