The ALICE construction simulation and optimization platform
ALICE combines the experience of contractors with an AI-powered simulation engine that allows project teams to quickly explore a multitude of different construction plans.
A Playbook for Planning
- Capture the set of constraints that govern your project
- Document your firm's construction costs and production rates
- Digitize your firm's building methods and share best practices across projects
- Eliminates the need for creating manual schedules
Data Driven Pursuits and Preconstruction

ALICE Duration Savings
Objective:
Use ALICE to identify and validate duration savings against P6 baseline schedule- Project: 20km highway including overpasses
- Two teams worked separately, one working with P6 and one working with ALICE, with results compared at the end
- After 6 months of meticulous analysis – the ALICE team came out as the clear winner with a more optimized and significantly faster schedule.
Commercial
Project Value
ALICE Duration Savings
Objective:
Use ALICE to explore crane placement and task sequencing scenarios on complex roof structure- ALICE was used to explore optimal sequencing to the complex roof structure of a multi-billion dollar airport in Asia.
- Construction team used ALICE to explore various crane placements and directions – an analysis that was not possible to do with traditional planning methods.
- The ALICE sequence optimized crane time and usage, further reducing time and cost of equipment onsite.
