August is the critical productivity low-point: outdoor activities on the Standard Construction calendar have only 5 working days due to the extreme heat shutdown (Jul 15 – Aug 31). Night Shift calendar is exempt from the heat shutdown and carries full August productivity — all concrete placement and critical structural works should be scheduled on the Night Shift calendar during the Q3 window. Ramadan 2026 falls in March and affects all discipline hours; the schedule baseline has absorbed a 25% productivity reduction across all March activities on non-night-shift calendars.
