“ALICE challenged what we thought was a solid construction schedule. ALICE beat our original plan in an afternoon -- and then helped us to find a much more efficient path.”
Project Director, Key AccountsWith ALICE, the Build Group team quickly created hundreds of alternatives to its original schedule. “We pushed ALICE hard to find new choices for us,” said Mike MacBean, Project Director - Key Accounts at Build Group. “We tried to break it. And we couldn’t. ALICE is incredibly robust.” The Build Group team then reviewed these new schedule options and selected the most profitable path.
With ALICE, Build Group created an improved production schedule that enabled the company to save several weeks and millions of dollars in its development of the 5M Project. What’s more, when the COVID pandemic hit and the company had to adjust its plans to account for smaller, socially-distanced work crews, Build Group was able to resequence its plans in ALICE and make up for the time it otherwise would have lost. “Traditional planning tools don’t enable contractors to shift plans nimbly when circumstances change. And they change all the time! With ALICE, we were able to quickly revise our construction plans to account for the complexities of COVID-19. And in the midst of a pandemic, we still delivered ahead of schedule and under budget.”
