ALICE Technologies, the world’s leading AI-powered construction simulation and optimization platform, announced the launch of ALICE Plan, an innovative 2D visual project planning tool. ALICE Plan helps construction teams collaborate and communicate schedules more effectively by replacing traditional whiteboard planning with a digital canvas for real-time, visual scheduling—all without the need for a 3D model. With ALICE Plan, users can import project data, including schedules and multipage drawings. ALICE can automatically generate an interactive 2D visual layout of the schedule and overlay it directly onto project drawings added to the canvas. Visual layouts of the schedule can be generated by a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) or custom-defined properties, such as work regions, start and finish dates, etc., tailoring the view to project and team-specific needs. This planning experience makes it easier than ever to navigate complex construction schedules and visualize and adjust sequences, including the task relationships and dependencies. Packed with powerful features

Outbuild, a construction scheduling and planning software company, announced a new integration with Autodesk Construction Cloud®, a portfolio of software and services that combines advanced technology, a builders network and predictive insights for construction teams. This integration allows construction professionals to directly integrate their schedule into Autodesk® Build, eliminating the need to rely on manual file imports. An up-to-date construction schedule is critical to project success, but historically, schedules have been managed in siloed, legacy software that the majority of key project stakeholders cannot access. Miscommunication related to the schedule can lead to delays and rework, therefore increasing project costs. A study by Autodesk and FMI revealed that 48% of all rework in U.S. construction projects stems from miscommunication and poor project data, resulting in an estimated $31.3 billion in rework costs annually. Outbuild’s new integration with Autodesk Construction Cloud directly addresses this issue, providing an integrated solution aimed to improve efficiency related to updating and sharing the project
