Alice Technologies
Alice Technologies is an AI-powered construction schedule optimization platform that analyzes thousands of sequencing scenarios to find the fastest or most cost-effective way to build a project. GCs and CMs use it to recover lost schedule time and reduce construction cost overruns.
Definition
Alice Technologies applies AI to one of construction's hardest problems: schedule optimization. Traditional scheduling tools require planners to manually sequence activities — a process that can take weeks and rarely surfaces optimal solutions. Alice changes this by modeling the entire construction process as a set of constraints (tasks, crews, equipment, dependencies) and using AI to generate and evaluate millions of scheduling permutations in hours. General contractors feed Alice a project's work breakdown structure, resource constraints, and site logistics. The platform then produces alternative schedule scenarios, each showing different trade-offs between cost, duration, and resource utilization. Project teams can compare "what-if" scenarios — what happens if we add a crew here, or change the sequencing of concrete pours there — and select the approach that best fits their goals. Alice is particularly valuable on complex vertical construction projects (hospitals, data centers, high-rise residential) where schedule compression is critical. Case studies have shown 10–20% schedule reductions on major projects, which at scale translates to millions in reduced general conditions costs. For AEC firms that already use Nomic for document intelligence, Alice addresses a complementary problem: Nomic handles unstructured knowledge (drawings, specs, RFIs), while Alice handles the structured scheduling and sequencing layer of project execution.
In Depth
Rhumbix (formerly Alice Technologies' field platform) captures time and materials data from the field for labor productivity analysis. AI processes this field data to identify productivity patterns, compare crew performance, and highlight the factors that drive productivity differences between shifts, crews, and project phases.
