ProjectPlanningControlEngineering

Based in Hong Kong, we are a Schedule Management and Planning consultancy. We produce high quality methods, plans and project schedules, using AI-powered generative scheduling to de-risk, accelerate, recover and optimise projects.

Since launching in 2017 we have delivered more than 30 projects.

What we do

five stages, one continuous schedule

We plan a project by modelling its construction against its own constraints and parameters, then schedule that plan by the efficient use of time and resources. Most clients join us partway along.

  1. 01

    Methods and Sequencing

    Identifying and modelling how the project gets built — its constraints, its parameters, and the order the work has to happen in.

  2. 02

    Planning and Scheduling

    Turning the plan into a resourced Primavera P6 schedule that simulates construction within the project’s real constraints.

  3. 03

    Schedule Optimisation

    Generative scheduling with ALICE Optimize — thousands of viable sequences explored, then the one that costs least time and risk.

  4. 04

    Schedule Management

    Weekly work plans, monthly programmes for acceptance, progress management, and the programming behind compensation events.

  5. 05

    Delay Recovery

    Establishing what caused the delay and what it cost, building the entitlement programme, and resolving it collaboratively.

Generative scheduling

what the schedule gave back

We build the base schedule in Primavera P6, then let ALICE Optimize explore the sequences a person would not have time to try. These are the results, measured against the schedule the project started with.

What we are aiming at

four objectives

Methods that cost less to build

Develop methods that use the least resources, are low-emission, improve efficiency, improve safety and ensure quality.

Plans built from constraints

Plan and schedule projects using constraints and parameters with a co-ordinated construction process, to the highest standard.

AI where it earns its place

Use AI and Generative Scheduling with advanced analytics to optimise the schedule, keeping the project on-plan and improving schedule reliability.

Time and cost in one model

Integrate resourced programmes and costs into a schedule for performance data analysis, to manage project outcomes of time and cost.

Technology

we work closely with our technology providers

So we get maximum value from the tools we use.

Founded in 2015 based on research from Stanford University, ALICE Technologies works with construction leaders in the infrastructure, industrial and commercial construction segments.

ALICE is the world’s first construction optioneering platform, helping general contractors create, explore and update construction schedules that reduce risk while cutting construction costs and build time.

Crest Software

Crest Software is located in the UK and has been established for over 30 years. In that time Crest built a strong reputation as a company specialising in software solutions for the construction and engineering industries, in the UK and overseas.

Crest offers a range of cost-effective and user-friendly planning, estimating, valuation, and drawing and document management software.
