ALICE for contractors: AI construction scheduling

What is ALICE?

ALICE is an AI construction scheduling platform. It imports schedules from Primavera P6 or Microsoft Project, or builds a baseline from a 3D model, then generates and compares alternative schedules to find faster or cheaper ways to sequence the work. It suits large projects, and a planner must check every schedule it proposes.

What can ALICE do for AEC teams?

TaskHow it helps, and the check
Schedule optimisationImports a P6 or MS Project schedule and generates alternative sequences and resource plans to compare. The planner checks constraints before adopting one.
What-if scenariosTests the effect of changes such as more crews, different equipment or a delayed delivery on the programme.
Schedule quality checksScores schedule quality against DCMA checks and flags issues for the planner.
Chat with the scheduleA schedule insights agent answers questions and gives recommendations about a schedule.

Strengths and limitations

Strengths

  • Generates and compares many schedule scenarios quickly.
  • Imports from Primavera P6, Oracle Primavera Cloud and Microsoft Project.
  • Unlimited users, and data ownership stays with you.

Limitations

  • Built for large projects; ALICE says it is most used on projects worth at least US$75 million.
  • Quote-only pricing with no free trial stated.
  • Results depend on accurate activities, logic and resources; poor inputs give poor schedules.

What happens to your data?

  • ALICE states that all data you submit, and data generated from it, is owned by you.
  • ALICE lists SOC 2 Type II compliance and lets you choose the region where your data is stored.
  • We found no statement on AI training in ALICE's public pages; ask the vendor before uploading project data.

CloudBrain’s view

Worth considering for large, schedule-critical projects where small gains in duration or resources are worth a lot. It needs good schedule data and a planner to judge its proposals, so pilot it on a live project with a known baseline.

What is ALICE?

ALICE, from ALICE Technologies in California, is an AI platform for construction planning and scheduling. It imports your schedule from Primavera P6 or Microsoft Project, or builds a baseline from a 3D model, and then generates alternative schedules with different sequences and resources so you can compare duration, cost and risk.

How do contractors and owners use ALICE?

  • Optimising a baseline before construction starts
  • Recovery planning when a project falls behind
  • Testing scenarios such as extra crews or equipment
  • Checking schedule quality before submission

What should you check before using it?

  1. Inputs. Clean activities, logic and resources first.
  2. Constraints. Have the planner check site, contract and resource constraints in any proposed schedule.
  3. Scale. Make sure the project is large enough to justify the cost.

AI can suggest a schedule, but the critical path still depends on judgement about the site. See AI in construction project management.

Alternatives to ALICE

Frequently asked questions

Does ALICE work with Primavera P6?

Yes. ALICE imports existing or baseline schedules built in Microsoft Project, Oracle Primavera P6 or Oracle Primavera Cloud.

Is ALICE suitable for small projects?

ALICE says it is most frequently used by contractors and owners on projects worth at least US$75 million. Smaller projects may not justify it.

Who owns the data in ALICE?

ALICE states that all data submitted, and any data generated from it, is owned by you.
