ALICE Technologies

ALICE Technologies is an American construction-technology company headquartered in Menlo Park, California, founded in 2015 as a spin-out of Stanford research, that applies generative AI to construction scheduling. Traditional scheduling produces a single plan; ALICE analyzes a project's building-information model and schedule and generates millions of possible ways to sequence the work, then surfaces the most efficient options — letting teams compress timelines, balance labor and equipment, and test what-if scenarios in minutes. The company reports duration reductions on the order of fifteen percent and meaningful labor savings, and in 2025 partnered with the consulting firm McKinsey to bring generative scheduling to dozens of major clients. Its users are heavy-civil and infrastructure contractors on some of the world's largest projects, including high-speed rail. For civil engineers, ALICE is a leading example of AI optimizing how infrastructure actually gets built.
