Intelligent Project Construction Sequencing & Scheduling
Intelligent, resource-loaded construction sequencing supports flowing changes to even the most complex construction schedule.
A SMARTER WAY TO PLAN + SCHEDULE
Construction scheduling software can make or break a project
Traditional methods for construction scheduling such as CPM, PERT, Q scheduling and resource-oriented scheduling break down under the increasing scale and complexity of modern infrastructure projects.
ALICE outperforms traditional techniques, leveraging the power of AI to solve complex constraints and to ensure your project makes the best use of available resources.
EXPLORE MORE SOLUTIONS
From one scenario to millions
There are thousands of ways to build a project, even with the simplest design. So how do you know you've found the most efficient?
ALICE -- the world's only platform utilizing a parametric schedule model -- explores the entire solution space, and helps you to uncover the 'best' for any given goals or constraints.
RESULTS YOU CAN TRUST
Bring transparency to the process
Conventional software "allows" for broken logic to make its way into your schedule, hiding in plain sight until it is too costly to fix in execution. In contrast, ALICE:
+ Takes all data, rules and constraints into account
+ Prevents broken logic and infeasible schedules
+ De-risks your project
+ Increases transparency and builds trust with owners
SPEED UP YOUR PROJECTS
Improve time-to-completion
Visualize and analyze construction sequencing alternatives and options against project constraints to develop your ideal timeline - and improve time-to-completion and project success.
SMART PARAMETRIC SOFTWARE
(Re)schedule with ease
Because ALICE is parametric, exploring new scenarios or rescheduling take minutes instead of days or weeks.
Simply define new parameter values (e.g.: adjust the number of available crews, or change productivity rates based on how a project is actually progressing etc.) and let ALICE automatically generate efficient alternatives that keep your project on track.
Frequently asked questions
-
Construction sequencing software is used by general contractors, project managers, schedulers, and developers working on large-scale infrastructure, industrial, and commercial construction projects.
-
Construction sequencing is a scheduling process that accounts for all phases of a construction project. ALICE outperforms traditional techniques by leveraging AI-powered generative construction scheduling technology to solve complex constraints and optimize construction sequencing.
-
A construction sequence is created by defining project milestones, breaking down work into manageable tasks, assigning resources, and scheduling activities in a logical order that maximizes efficiency and minimizes delays.
-
A typical construction sequence follows a series of well-defined work that includes the following main steps:
- It begins with site preparation, which includes clearing the land, excavating, and grading.
- Next is the foundation work, where the building’s base is constructed, often involving concrete pouring and the installation of footings.
- Following this, the structural framing phase takes place, where the skeleton of the building is erected using steel, wood, or concrete.
- Once the structure is in place, the project moves to the installation of systems, such as plumbing, electrical, HVAC, fire protection systems, visual monitoring and surveillance systems etc.
- After the systems are in place, the interior finishes phase begins, which includes drywall, flooring, painting, and the installation of fixtures.
- The final stages involve exterior finishes, such as roofing, siding, and landscaping, followed by final inspections to ensure that everything meets the required codes and standards.
For an infrastructure project like a highway, the sequence might involve land surveying, excavation, roadbed preparation, paving, and installation of traffic signals.
For an industrial project such as a refinery, it includes site clearing, foundation pouring, structural steel erection, installation of process equipment, piping, electrical systems, and safety inspections.
-
ALICE software is ideal for construction sequencing because it explores the entire solution space, helping you uncover the best options for any given goals or constraints.
"ALICE has enabled us to spend time on optimizing rather than data entry. By exploring millions of possible sequencing options ALICE is dramatically changing how we plan and execute our projects."
