AI Construction Cost Estimating Software
Take control of estimating costs with ALICE
Instead of relying on static spreadsheets, ALICE uses algorithmic AI to explore all possible of ways to build your project so you can choose the solution that saves time, money, or both. Whether you’re managing a tight timeline or trying to protect your bottom line, building construction cost estimating software helps you stay one step ahead.
Reduce Estimation Risks
Identify cost and schedule risks early by testing multiple construction scenarios. ALICE helps validate assumptions and stress-test plans.
Protect Margin from Day One
Align quantities, crews, and sequencing to understand true project cost before committing. ALICE surfaces hidden drivers of overhead and contingency.
Estimate More Efficiently
ALICE enables rapid scenario analysis to right-size resources, compare alternatives, and support faster, more confident estimating decisions.
Most estimating software just adds up the numbers. ALICE helps you rethink the entire approach. Instead of relying on static inputs and endless manual tweaks, ALICE uses AI to explore thousands of different ways to build your project.
Want to know what happens if you bring in another crew or switch up the order of tasks? ALICE can show you in minutes.
ALICE isn’t just another estimating tool, it’s a whole new way to build better from the start.

ALICE helps teams produce faster, more reliable estimates with less manual effort. By basing estimates on real construction strategies, it reduces risk, supports stronger bids, and allows schedules and budgets to adapt as projects change.
Get a demo
To use ALICE, you start by uploading either your existing schedule, BIM model, or start from scratch. You can then add more project data like resources, quantities, productivity rates and parameterize data.
You can then use ALICE to run thousands of simulations to identify the best options based on cost, duration, or resources. The output is a detailed schedule with costs tied to each task, showing how the project will unfold. During construction, teams can track progress, model delays, and adjust plans as conditions change.

"Questions that would’ve taken days to answer — for example, how would a project change if crew size or resources shifted — now take minutes with ALICE."

CASE STUDY
ALICE Technologies Helps Ananda Slash Project Costs
By spending more, Ananda would actually save more. The variable that most significantly affected Ananda’s results was overtime. By paying its crew members for overtime starting one month after the initiation of the project, Ananda was able to decrease the duration of its project by 208 days. And in doing so, it would decrease costs over a plan that didn’t include overtime pay. Based on the cost estimation analysis it ran with ALICE, Ananda moved ahead and to develop the project according to a schedule that made healthy use of overtime.
