This is a recording of a webinar presented at the Festival of BIM & Digital Construction in June 2020 by René Morkos, Founder & CEO of ALICE, and Ifan Williams, Senior Projects Control Scheduling Manager, Parsons Corporation.

Abstract

The evolution of technology and the growth of the construction industry has resulted in advances in construction scheduling.

ALICE is the world's first generative construction simulation platform that allows firms to use project constraints to quickly generate schedules and make data-driven decisions. ALICE provides the opportunity for teams to explore different construction strategies during the bidding and pre-construction phases. Once construction begins, ALICE can help teams react to changing variables like crew and equipment availability within minutes. 

Parsons has leveraged ALICE to realize savings on a large transportation project where they shortened the schedule by using an ALICE simulation to work with their subcontractors to find a different path forward.
