INTELLIGENT PLANNING
Plan faster and smarter
Upload a 3D model to ALICE and quickly create a buildable 4D schedule. No BIM model? No problem. ALICE also works with simple block diagrams.
Add transparency to your planning process by connecting your design with your schedule and estimates to visualize all aspects of your construction project.
CONSTRUCTION OPTIONEERING
Explore alternatives in minutes
Why settle for a single solution when you can explore thousands?
Through construction optioneering, ALICE will help you to create and evaluate numerous potential solutions based on your project’s objectives and identify the best path forward.

RESEQUENCE IN MINUTES
Recover from project delays
No need to spend weeks modifying your schedule when circumstances change.
With resequencing in ALICE, you can update your plan and schedule in a few clicks and instantly get your project back on track.
ALICE, YOUR EFFICIENT DECISION-MAKING TOOL
From feasibility studies and production planning to scheduling, ALICE enables you to quantify the impact of different scenarios, helping you to make informed decisions and get to the best plan. ALICE will help you to reduce both your time and cost per decision, so you'll make key choices more efficiently.
ALICE gives you new planning super powers
Transform the complex construction interdependencies into an algorithmic equation that analyzes all possible solutions.
ALICE's generative construction software outperforms traditional techniques by leveraging AI to solve complex constraints and intelligently sequence activities.
ALICE offers advanced data analytics for construction - designed to track the information that matters most to your team.
Quickly model various types of project constraints & de-risk your project before you ever break ground.
Maximize labor, equipment, and other project resources as you need with ALICE's AI-powered what-if tool
Simulate complex challenges, account for all parameters, quickly incorporate changes, align breakdown structures, and manage resources in one place.
"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."
Frequently Asked Questions
-
- The preconstruction phase includes development of a strategic plan for the project, design creation, permitting and entitlement, and gathering of labor and resources required for construction.
- During preconstruction, GCs may proactively mitigate risk by developing a project recovery plan which identifies challenges which may occur during construction, as well as alternative pathways which prevent potential delays.
- In the UK and Great Britain, the preconstruction phase may also include development and delivery of pre-construction information (a safety document legally required for all projects under CDM regulation).
