At a glance
What ALICE does
ALICE is for teams that want to challenge a proposed construction plan, not simply draw another Gantt chart. Planners can vary crews, calendars, resource availability, milestones, and production assumptions, then compare the resulting cost and duration trade-offs.
The two product paths matter. Core imports a Primavera schedule and gets to schedule optioneering quickly; Pro starts from BIM and adds recipes, quantities, and 4D sequencing. Buyers should budget for the model and schedule preparation needed to make either route credible.
Pricing visibilityContact sales
ALICE uses quote-based, token-oriented commercial terms. Confirm whether Core or Pro, project setup, tokens, services, and data preparation are included.

Before the demo
What stands out, and what to pin down
What stands out on paper
- Compares many build strategies faster than manual scenario planning
- Core can begin with an existing Primavera schedule
- Pro connects schedule choices to model-based means and methods
Questions for the vendor
- ALICE Core and ALICE Pro have different inputs and setup effort
- Useful results depend on credible logic, quantities, production rates, calendars, and constraints
- The business case is strongest where project complexity justifies specialist optioneering

An integration name alone does not tell you which records move, in which direction, or how often. Ask to see the exact workflow you need using representative data.
