ALICE Technologies and Alvarez & Marsal Announce Strategic Partnership to Advance Construction Planning

ALICE Technologies, the world's leading AI-powered construction optimization platform, announced a strategic partnership with Alvarez & Marsal (A&M), a global professional services firm renowned for its expertise in business transformation and performance improvement. This collaboration, taking place with the company's infrastructure unit A&M Infra, aims to bring advanced construction planning solutions to industrial and infrastructure projects across South America, with an initial focus on Brazil.

The partnership integrates ALICE’s generative scheduling technology with A&M’s capital construction advisory expertise to help project stakeholders reduce risk, accelerate delivery, and recover from costly delays by building anti-fragile schedules. The combined offering is designed to support the full project lifecycle, from early feasibility planning, bid preparation through execution, delivery and schedule recovery.

As infrastructure investment accelerates across the region, construction leaders are under increasing pressure to deliver capital projects reliably and with less exposure to cost and schedule overruns. ALICE helps project stakeholders make more informed planning decisions by simulating millions of construction scenarios, enabling them to adapt faster and deliver more predictable outcomes.

The ALICE platform comprises a suite of planning and scheduling software built for flexibility across planning formats, project phases, and portfolio scale. Whether teams are working in 2D drawings, Gantt charts, or 4D BIM, ALICE integrates with existing workflows and scales from individual projects to large capital portfolios.

“AI is changing how projects are being planned, managed and delivered. Our partnership with ALICE ensures we help our clients continue to be leaders in what they do by transforming their business processes with technology of the future,” said Fabio Missiato Antunes, Managing Director, A&M Infra. 

"This partnership enables us to offer our clients innovative tools to optimize project outcomes, improve project certainty and position them for long-term success."

Initially, A&M will implement ALICE on its projects in Brazil, especially on industrial projects that are often challenged by labor shortages, schedule uncertainty, and complex logistics.

A&M’s consultants have begun training in generative scheduling concepts to use ALICE Technologies’ software suite and are actively using ALICE to support projects from early-stage planning through to live site management and schedule recovery.

“Delays on large projects often spiral because teams don’t have time and resources to explore alternatives,” said René Morkos, founder and CEO of ALICE Technologies. 

“With ALICE, A&M’s consultants can augment their deep domain expertise with powerful AI-driven insights, enabling them to model, stress test, and communicate planning strategies more effectively. This not only improves coordination across stakeholders, but also brings greater transparency and confidence to critical project decisions—all backed by data.”

This partnership reflects a shared vision for more adaptive, data-driven construction practices worldwide. By equipping teams with technology that can rapidly simulate construction strategies in minutes, ALICE empowers global consultants and owners to find the most efficient path to execution. While the initial focus is in Brazil, this collaboration lays the groundwork for broader regional and global adoption.

By combining proven consulting leadership with advanced AI technology, ALICE and A&M are redefining adaptive approaches to capital project delivery.
