ALICE SOFTWARE FOR GENERAL CONTRACTORS
Win more bids and deliver capital projects faster with ALICE
ALICE uses generative scheduling to help general contractors build competitive bids, optimize resources and sequences, reduce risks, and recover from disruptions. Protect your margin and your completion date on every project.
Bidding and pursuits
Compare build strategies, crew sizes, and sequences before you price
Test whether the owner’s required dates are achievable
Submit a competitive schedule backed by data
Preconstruction
Pressure-test your baseline for delay risks across design, permits, and procurement
Find the optimal crews and equipment mix to cut idle time and overtime
Remove preferential logic to find faster sequences within hard constraints
Execution
Generate recovery options quickly when disruptions hit
Pinpoint the tasks, crews, and shifts that accelerate the schedule
Protect your completion date and margin with every decision
Every GC plans around the same pressures: competitive bids, aggressive deadlines and fixed completion dates, and the trades and equipment needed to hit them.

Most schedules look achievable on paper. When ALICE models the real constraints, the gaps show up:
- Preferential logic treated as fixed: Choices like build direction or zone order get locked in as if they were technical requirements.
- Crew plans that aren’t optimized: Overstaffing, crew stacking, and idle time hide inside resource-loaded schedules.
- Near-critical paths no one is watching: Activities with little float can become critical after one small slip.
- Activity durations that can’t be met

"With ALICE, we can evaluate risks and opportunities across our projects in a fraction of the time it previously took, allowing us to deliver better outcomes for our clients."
ALICE is purpose built for large, capital construction projects for general contractors
-
Linear projects such as roadways, tunnels, transmission lines, and railways present contractors with unique construction challenges. GCs can use ALICE to explore and resolve various constraints and challenges as they look to deliver their projects on time and on budget.
-
Optimize the construction of industrial projects starting from the early stages of a project including pre-FEED, FEED all the way to commissioning and shutdown with ALICE.
-
From high-rises to technology parks and multi-use buildings spread over sprawling acres, ALICE can optimize construction planning, sequencing and scheduling on your project.
Traditional scheduling gives you one plan. With ALICE, you can rapidly explore feasibly alternatives, each with its own time, cost, and resource profile.

Case study | Hawaiian Dredging Construction Co. optimizes sequencing with ALICE
Built on a 12,591 square-foot former parking lot, the site was quite close to adjacent buildings, leaving little room to maneuver its equipment and manage site logistics.
Case study | Build Group leverages ALICE for San Francisco project
Build Group used traditional tools to develop its schedule, but they weren’t able to explore alternatives. They partnered with ALICE to find more efficient alternatives.
Case study | AF Gruppen cuts project duration by 18% + costs by 30% with ALICE
AF Gruppen wanted to challenge the original plan by exploring the effects of different variations of crews and materials on the duration and profitability of the project.
