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 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](/glossary/critical-path) still depends on judgement about the site. See [AI in construction project management](/insights/ai-construction-project-management).

## 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.
